The rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame is totally political Phil and his unbelievable rock band. In my opinion they were the greatest rock 'n' roll band ever the Rolling Stones are not the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world. Thin Lizzy was nobody rocked harder. Nobody worked harder than Phil. He was so dedicated. He gave it 110% every time he went out his band was one of the tightest slickest, most innovative, hard rock bands, ever to hit earth. Their albums in the used vinyl market are the most sought after of any hard rock band because none of these classic amazing studio albums that hit harder and better than most live performances of bands, have ever been remastered and repressed in vinyl. Live and dangerous without a doubt is the best live hard rock album ever produced from the first song to the last song. Every song is perfection and nobody had a more original style than Phil definitely one of the top 10 bass in rock 'n' roll. Brian Downey on drums he could hit the skins better than 99.9% of all rock drummers not to mention Brian Robertson, who is actually pretty young when he joined the band played guitar, perfect and intricate lightning fast and harder than a Mac truck hitting you same thing with Scott Gorham phenomenal and nobody in rock 'n' roll was ever better looking than Scott my God the guy was more beautiful than most women and Scott stayed with Phil almost to the very end. Brian Downey stayed until the bitter end .the fact that these guys aren't in the rock 'n' roll, Hall of Fame shows how corrupt and political the whole establishment is. It sucks. Nobody deserves it more than Thin Lizzy and I mean nobody!!!
It suddenly cones to my mind that Jimmy Jam has been pushing for his former band The Time into rrhof
I love their music, but still think it is a bit far fetched for them to be seriously candidate... Even in contemporary rnb world, there are still a lot of better candidates
