No, you cannot answer Alcatraz...

Both songs boogie righteously which makes it a tough call. Having just listened to the Jailbreak CD thanks to some hapless fool selling it to the store, I am going with that one.

Thin Lizzy's full-length, however, is better than AC/DC's '74 Jailbreak by about a million miles.

AC/DC has the better YouTibe clip, however:

Weird, I just posed this question to myself last night and Thin Lizzy won by a very narrow margin.

I think that JAILBREAK fits thin lizzy more than AC/DC just because of the style of music that thin lizzy plays

ah, but you need to listen to AC/DC's "Jailbreak" in its proper context .. as the last track on the Australian version of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap! your answer might be different...

Gotta go with Thin Lizzy. They were very original (at least one of the first bands) with their style during the time the song came out - the dueling heavy guitars.
