The title track has been covered by bands as diverse as Fu Manchu, Anthrax and Six Feet Under, and the album's success in America - it's still their only Gold record here - birthed countless bands emulating their winning formula. Likewise, Mastodon covered it on the special edition of their first album, Remission and have made it part of their live set off and on. The fingerprints of "Emerald" are all over Iron Maiden's first several albums, most notably Killers. Fighting brought a harder edge to the proceedings, which ultimately coalesced with the more memorable tunes they wrote with Lynott on Jailbreak. Jailbreak's influence on hard rock and metal is immense, to the point now where lazy PR writers will call any band that harmonizes guitars "Lizzy-esque."

It's not their best album - this writer would bestow that title on either Bad Reputation or Black Rose, depending on the day - but it was a perfect storm of singular musicianship, Irish balladeering and populist songwriting that hit at the right moment. Thin Lizzy Jailbreak (1976) We’d flown all night, the red-eye from New York to our first-ever international boys trip destination in Dublin, and we weren’t going to be denied, or delayed, our first authentic pint of local Guinness. would still be just another classic rock almost-was. Yet if it wasn't for the American commercial breakthrough of Jailbreak, which was released 40 years ago tomorrow, Lynott & Co.
