I was in a Lizzy kinda mood so here you go - a bunch of great tracks off albums with the same name. My favorite here is Thunder And Lightning, simply one of the most badass songs of all time. If you don't have Thin Lizzy is your life then it's about time you do something about it.
By the way, as I was flipping through the Lizzy collection it stunned me to realise just how much amazing music they put out in a relatively short period of time. Twelve albums in thirteen years, and every one is brilliant. I'd like to see band today perform the same feat.
How is it all the bands that had a part in creating what we now know as "metal" could release at least one album a year (at least!) and they were all fantastic, all considered classics today? Actually, that goes for pop bands, rock bands, punk bands, etc as well. Everyone from Pink Floyd to The Clash to David Bowie to Motörhead kept spitting out one great album after another, so many it's hard to keep track of them.
Is it the labels that force bands these days into milking every last drop out of every album and only let them release a new album every two or three years, or are bands just not as creative these days? A little bit of both?

Thin Lizzy! Phil Lynott was one of the best frontmen EVER--playing bass and singing at the same time are hard to do and no one else has done it any better than he did. Thank you Metal Bastard for all the great shit you send our way!
Thanks for these man, gotta love some Irish rockin'.
Speaking of which, what is your favourite run of classic albums from metal/punk bands?
I would perhaps say Sabbath's first four, or Bad Religion from Suffer to Recipe For Hate.
Or Slayer's entire catalogue.
Slayer's entire catalogue? Nigga please. From RIB to SITA maybe. The rest spans from uneven to unlistenable.
The best run obviously the first six Sabbath album. Your disregard for Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage is worrying.
My bad on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Thinking about it, it's probably their best album! I must be high. I lost my copy of Sabotage i'm afraid.
Yeah, I'm a Slayer groupie.
Lets settle on Metallica's first five studio albums.
Yeah, I agree on the first five Metallica records.
#1 and #5 are quite weaker than the rest though, but still an admirable run, and its impact on metal as a whole in indisputable.
THin LIzzy holy keerist that takes me back to my soundman days...Been a LONG time since I cranked some of these.
This was back when I was still hittin the clubs and before I gace it all up to wifenkidsnresponsibility so these bring on some midlife crisis feelings like you wouldnt believe LOL
Thanks for the nostalgia
Phil Lynott had some style. As for band names, it doesn't get much better than Thin Lizzy.
