Wild One: The Very Best Of Thin Lizzy - Thin Lizzy

I bought this compilation in 1996 upon its original release. I had heard T Thin Lizzy on the radio and on a Jeremy Clarkson Top Gear tape [oh, the shame!] and as a teenager this music resonated with me much more than Brit-Pop trash like Echobelly, Menswear, Sleeper etc [though I was a big Blur fan].
