Episode 39 - Colours (ft. Thin Lizzy, White Sister & Living Colour)

In this episode of the Enter Sadmen podcast, the next three albums to join the list on the definitive all time hard rock and heavy metal hall of fame are linked by colours and include two bands yet to be considered by our trio of intrepid reviewers.

First up is Thin Lizzy's Black Rose from 1979, the album that marked the final appearance - albeit briefly - of Gary Moore in his third visit to the line-up (two as a fully-fledged recording member and one as a touring substitute for Brian Robertson). 

It's hard to find a Lizzy album that doesn't feature a stone cold classic - but how would this one fare following the rapturous reception given to 1983's Thunder And Lightning in episode 9?

Next up, Steve introduces the first of the episode's newcomers, American melodic rockers White Sister and their second (and, to all intents and purposes, final) album - 1986's somewhat under-appreciated (one might go so far as to say unappreciated) Fashion By Passion.

And helping to make the episode quorate, Richard introduces Anglo-American politicos Living Colour with their sophomore release from 1990, Time's Up.

Three diverse albums by three diverse bands. But where would they end up in the big list?
