10 Classic Rock Songs That Push The 7-Minute Mark

9. Black Rose - Thin Lizzy

http://youtu.be/TjjpBb9q1PA The title track from Thin Lizzy€™s last truly classic album was the heaviest an Irish jig ever got. Constructed mostly from traditional Irish folk songs and given a then-contemporary hard-edged rock flavour, this spellbindingly-head banging mix of Phil Lynot€™s vocals and Gary Moore€™s proto-speed metal solos have the ability to give even the grungiest of rock fans a reason to be joyous. This is because above all the thrashing, spitting and bombast, it€™s one of the happiest classic rock songs out there, if only in its performance. Thin Lizzy would last another three original albums after Black Rose, but those albums wouldn€™t have Gary Moore on them, instead replaced by a strong group of mixed-up guitarists and bags of drugs for the other band members.
