Thin Lizzy is best described as "Hard Rock".
That being said, they had a huge influence on the NWOBHM scene. Perhaps as much influence as Sabbath or Motorhead.
They also have some songs which may be described as "Metal".
While I won't call them "Metal", I won't chastise Fammicomrade for doing so. They aren't any less metal than some of the other bands he listed (Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, BOC, Rainbow).
I guess another question is whether or not Micheal Bolton should be classified as Heavy Metal.
I'm sticking with Hard Rock. In fact, i think Micheal Bolton is the most underrated hard rock singer of all time.
