Tragic, I mean who knows where they could have gone if they were able to ride that wave of momentum properly at their peak of popularity. Having to cancel two tours of the US during this critical moment in their career when they were finally breaking through to the US killed a tremendous amount of momentum - and they never really got another opportunity like that again. The day before they embarked upon their December '76 tour of the US, guitarist Brian Robertson took a glass bottle to the hand protecting friend in a pub fight which caused this tour to be cancelled. They planned to tour the US with Rainbow in June '76, but Lynott fell ill with hepatitis and the tour was cancelled setting them back a few months. One thing that might have also stunted their world-wide success is that just as their epic 1976 album " JailBreak" came out and gave way to the massively successful breakthrough song they've been waiting for:* "The Boys are Back in To*wn" - they were struck with a few tragic events. TL:DR – all the big hits spread across a large discog & the type of music they’re associated with isn’t very fashionable. I therefore think it’s quite easy to lump TL in with a bunch of other ‘rock’ bands of the time and see them as representative of a genre with connotations of cheese and is pretty unfashionable at the moment, which is a shame because TL have a lot to offer if people can give them a chance. Lots of bands aped aspects of TL’s sound (the glam, the harder/heavier rock), but simplified it. They lacked the depth of Phil Lynott’s song writing, he had an amazing knack for a melody and fantastic baselines, as well as drawing on a lot of musical influences (the mention of Black Rose above made me revisit the album and remember the disco edge on S & M). I think the other reason is that the quality of their song writing often goes underappreciated is that I feel a lot of bands that were influenced by TL ended up being quite derivative. You could argue Live and Dangerous is their legacy album, containing live versions of most of their biggest tunes, but they’d released a lot of records already by the time L&D came around, so to hear those songs in their original studio versions you’ve still got a lot to work through. Although this means an amazing greatest hits compilation, it also means for a newcomer or passive fan it can be difficult to get started on the albums. Whilst they have a number of really solid albums, they don’t have that one (studio) album that’s packed to the gills with the tunes that everyone knows – the type of album that often come to define a bands legacy. One reason is that their most recognisable hits are spread pretty thinly across a large discography. I think there’s a couple of reasons they’re underappreciated.
