When Thin Lizzys Jailbreak was released on March 26, 1976, rock n roll was at a fascinating crossroads. The old-school dinosaurs who led 60s rock The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones were still standing but limping along, already sounding like nostalgia acts to younger listeners. The next generation of arena-rock groups Aerosmith, Kiss, Black Sabbath were grounded in a more flamboyant, party till you puke sensibility that would soon be subsumed by the ascendent heavy metal movement.

Jailbreak would prove as foundational to the future sound of metal as AC/DCs High Voltage or Motrheads Motrhead, just as Thin Lizzys no-nonsense musical approach informed the sensibility of punk.
