'''''Bad Reputation''''' is the eighth studio album by Irish band [[Thin Lizzy]], released in 1977 (see [[1977 in music]]). As the front cover suggests, most of the tracks feature only three-quarters of the band, with guitarist [[Brian Robertson]] only playing on tracks 3 and 6 (despite a credit on track 8). He had missed most of the previous tour following an injury sustained in a brawl and this album turned out to be his last studio effort with Lizzy. "Dancing in the Moonlight" was a UK hit single.
The title track is featured as a playable track in the video game ''[[Guitar Hero II]]''.
