Renegade is the eleventh studio album by Irish band Thin Lizzy, released in 1981. Though not his first appearance, this was the first album in which keyboard player Darren Wharton was credited as a permanent member, becoming the fifth member of the line-up. Renegade was the second and final album to feature guitarist Snowy White. By his own admission, White was more suited to playing blues than heavy rock and he quit by mutual agreement the following year. Greg Prato of AllMusic claimed that Renegade is Thin Lizzy's worst album, with "blatant pop leanings and a production too similar to British heavy metal bands of the early '80s"…
This is the most forgotten album in the discography of Thin Lizzy, along with “Chinatown” and the Eric Bell stuff. By the end of the 70’s, it seemed that Lynott and co. were unable to face the changes in the rock scene, the old-fashioned cliches of classic rock became predictable and tedious…
