70’s Pick of the Week
“The Boys are Back in Town”, Thin Lizzy (1976)
This song was number one in their native Ireland and charted well (12 in the U.S., 8 in the U.K.) other countries. With twin lead guitars of Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson; this song epitomized the male-dominated rock of the seventies. It has been used in just a multitude of things, recently in the show Entourage. It has been covered by Bon Jovi, The Cardigans, Belle and Sebastian, Everclear, and many more.
