Ah, take a listen, this song is so easygoing and heartwarming. I don't care how satanic or demonic you might think Rock and Roll is, this song is so simplistic and nostalgic, I can't even listen to it without the shadow of a grin sneaking up on me. You may scoff because this is their most mainstream song, but this is a fantastic song, and was awarded number four hundred ninety-nine in Rolling Stone's top five hundred rock songs of all time. The Boys Are Back in Town was released on the Irish band, Thin Lizzy's sixth album, Jailbreak in 1976. Jailbreak was their most popular album, and this was the that gave them their rise to fame, as well as the title song, Jailbreak. The song is most praised for its double lead guitar solo, which features Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson, and is simply marvelous. Most people believe this song is about The Boys returning from a military school, but to me, it seems broader. In my opinion, it's just about getting together with old friends, and hanging out reminiscing about the good times. I hope you enjoyed the song.
