Fighting is the fifth studio album by Irish band Thin Lizzy, released in 1975 (see 1975 in music). After spending four albums trying to find their niche, Thin Lizzy finally forged an identifiable sound featuring the twin guitars of Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson. This sound draws from hard rock, folk, pop, and rhythm and blues. It set the stage for the big commercial breakthrough of the follow-up album, Jailbreak.
