Whiskey in the jar (my intro to TL)

Forgot to do Pink Floyd. I'd still have Syd Barrett's "See Emily Play" as top.

The great Thin Lizzy will bring our over indexing on white male rockers down a bit.

The Rocker
Waiting for an Alibi
Sarah

Shout out for Philo's great solo songs. Yellow Pearl, the one time theme song for TOTPs, and Old Town.

Run Like Hell
Mother
Another Brick in the Wall

Now we are done.

INXS next?



Nope, Thin Lizzy

Jailbreak
Dont Believe a Word
Rosalie

Not easy to pick 3 here. I could do another 3 right up with these.

Every time I hear  the line, "tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak, somewhere in this  town ", I can't help but  laugh. My money is on  the Jail.

Great tune  though

Old Town I  think  was the best thing Phil Lynott  ever did. Sarah, as well. But they're solo hits , so I  can't include them. But  they'd be my top two.

Edit- Sarah was actually  Thin Lizzy, not Phil on his own.

Those are good choices.  I might throw in Wild One instead of Rosalie, but it'd be a close call.
