Steam (band)

The song was revived for the 2000 movie Remember the Titans. In later years Darren Wharton joined the band on keyboards. Fans began singing along, playing the song during sporting events gradually became a tradition and today the Steam hit is commonly heard at arenas and stadiums throughout the US. The list of guitarists who played with the band includes:. A one-hit wonder -- the band had already broken up by the time the song, intended to be a throwaway B-side, hit -- the group and song were largely forgotton until the 1977 Major League Baseball season, when Chicago White Sox organist Nancy Faust began playing the tune when opposing pitchers were relieved, or when the Sox had clearly won the game. Over the years, the membership of the band went through many changes, but the constant members were Lynott on bass and vocals and Brian Downey on drums. Steam was a pop music group best known for their 1969 #1 hit song "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye". Examples include "The Boys are Back in Town" and "Cowboy Song" from "Jailbreak.".

Thin Lizzy is now widely recognized as one of the first hard rock bands to employ double lead guitar harmony, a technique later refined and popularized by groups such as Iron Maiden. The band reunited without him in 1999 for a European tour and live album. He died in 1986, a victim of drug abuse. After the band broke up in the mid-80s, Lynott began a solo career.

During the late 1970s and early 80s, Thin Lizzy played to a rabid fanbase but was unable to break into mainstream markets. Fighting (1975) was their first album success, but the next album, Jailbreak, was a smash hit thanks to the single "The Boys Are Back in Town", now their most remembered hit. Their first taste of success was the 1973 hit single, Whiskey in the Jar, a cover of a traditional Irish song. Lynott remains one of rather few black men to achieve significant success in hard rock.

Thin Lizzy was a hard rock/proto-heavy metal band, formed in Dublin by Birmingham born bassist and singer Phil Lynott in the late sixties. Thin Lizzy Greatest Hits (2004). One Night Only [live] (2000). Boys Are Back in Town: Live in Australia (1999).
