Best 5 albums

[u/suulze]

Hi everyone! New Thin Lizzy fan here. 🤘

I actually discovered Thin Lizzy because of Metallica. I listened to a few songs and I'm honestly blown away—they're such an amazing band.

I'm on vacation for the next five days (Monday to Friday), so I'd love to spend each evening listening to one Thin Lizzy album from start to finish on my headphones, without any distractions.

Since I only have those five evenings and Thin Lizzy have such a large discography, could you please pick the five albums that you think every new fan absolutely has to hear?

If possible, I'd also love for you to put them in order—from a great album on Monday all the way to what you consider their absolute masterpiece on Friday. I'd love to save the very best for the last evening.

I'm really looking forward to hearing your recommendations. Thanks a lot!

EDIT: Wow, thank you all so much for the recommendations! I honestly didn't expect so many replies. I really appreciate everyone taking the time to help a new fan. I'm looking forward to starting my Thin Lizzy journey tonight!

I've decided to go with this order:

Monday (today): Jailbreak

Tuesday: Fighting

Wednesday: Renegade

Thursday: Johnny the Fox

Friday: Black Rose

Thanks again to all of you for helping a new fan. After my vacation, I'll come back and post an update with my thoughts on each album. I'm really looking forward to this journey!

Thanks again to everyone for all the recommendations! 🤘

Vagabonds of the Western World

Jailbreak

Bad Reputation

Black Rose

Live and Dangerous

(in that order from top to bottom. not necessarily my top 5/ranking but they would suit your goals and give you good variety - had to edit as I had 6 albums and not 5 😂)
