Love jailbreak the lyrics always makes me smile
Tonight there’s going to be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town


I think the local jail would be a good guess of the location

The best Thin Lizzy song vs. a popular but IMO middling AC/DC song. Ireland wins this tie.

You may be right with the “middling” comment. However, as this is one of the most iconic riffs in music history, that’s more than enough to give it the win IMO.

This is like choosing which brand of chocolate.....all of them!!
AC/DC just get the vote.

"In music history"? I think I'll quibble with that.

Anyway, I always preferred the opener on that record myself. And the closer.

Daddy or chips...

AC-DC by a nose just for the riff.

I actually find the Thin Lizzy song really boring but it seems I'm alone in that. preferred Bon Scott to Brian Johnson but AC/DC for me.

Not only that, I love how they’re running desperately from the law but, you know, have time to go after some action anyhow . . .

“Searchlight on my trail
Tonight's the night all systems fail
Hey you, good lookin' female
Come here.”

LOL.
