Anybody else like Blue Oyster Cult?

I just really started listening to BOC, thanks to Ult's gigantic collection of cd's and my endless boredom. Before today all I really knew was Burnin' for You, Godzilla, and Don't Fear the Reaper; but they have a lot more that I have found that I quite like.

never heard of 'em. Arent they one of those cults from southern California? Are they a band? Didn't they invent the cowbell?

BOC is awesome Agents Of Fortune, Spectres, Mirrors, Fire Of Unknown Origin, Revolution By Night, Club Ninja, and Heaven Forbid are all awesome albums. I own everything but I'm more familiar with some over others. Some of the ones I listed people will argue with them being any good but I think they are. haha

I actually did listen to Astronomy and Nosferatu, both killer songs. I'll have to look up those other tracks though!

One of the greatest bands EVER. If you like their hits you should check out some of their back catalog. Everything from 1972-1983 is pure gold

Swap out Club Ninja and replace it with Imaginos and this would have been almost exactly what I would have posted.

I agree I think Club Ninja outside a few songs (like two) is a terrible album IMO.

Workshop Of The Telescopes is essential, IMO.

Casual B.O.C. fan here. They're one of those bands I've been meaning to investigate further for a long time now but have just never had time/$$ to dig into their catalog. At the moment I only have the FIRE OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN album and a cheapie "Best-Of" compilation from them, but I like'em both just fine, for whatever that's worth.

The main riff in "Godzilla" has got to be one of the most bad-ass ever written. Very Happy

I had a best of comp at one point a long time ago (gone now), but outside of a coupla songs, this is a band I never cared for. I don't get them.

Great solos!

I just bought Imaginos on vinyl. Cool album! "I Am the One You Warned Me Of" is a really great album opener!

I love that whole album! I just wish the production wasn't so crappy. The whole thing sounds murky to me.

That is one of my favorite Blue Oyster Cult albums, amazing since originally this album was intented as a Albert Bouchard's solo album

I really enjoy BOC. My favorite record is Secret Treaties.

If you get a chance check out Racer X's cover of Godzilla.

They are a quirky band to be sure. My fave of theirs is Fire Of Unknown Origin.
