Last night on my way into town I heard Yes on the radio, and listened to Fragile when I got home. It turns out the station I was listening to does a British Invasion thing every Sunday night, and after whatever the Yes song was the next thing they played was Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy. I love that song, and I’m pretty sure I mentioned it way back when I listened to Hot Rats for having an epic guitar riff.

I have heard Jailbreak and The Boys Are Back In Town countless times, but I don’t think I could have named a single other Thin Lizzy song. I was pleasantly surprised by the rest of this album. After not liking most of the Yes songs on Fragile that I wasn’t already familiar with, I was worried I’d be in the same boat today. It turns out I liked the whole album. Not all the songs were great, but none of them were bad.
