Were I to write a Lynott biog it\u2019d prob\u2019 be called <em>Still In Love With You<\/em>. Partly \u2018cause that\u2019s a blindingly brilliant song, and partly because it perfectly captures both how I feel about Lynott, and also the plaintive poetic heartache that makes a lot of his and Lizzy\u2019s best music so good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/img_4519.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4863\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/img_4519.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/img_4519-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/img_4519-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A favourite platter in my teen years!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s that aspect I love most, about Thin Lizzy, in addition to their perhaps more usually celebrated rock n roll bombast. And then there\u2019s Phil\u2019s solo stuff. I don\u2019t really know <em>Solo In Soho<\/em> very well (writing this has prompted me to remedy that, by ordering it off Amazon!). But I\u2019ve long known and loved <em>The Phil Lynott Album<\/em>.
