| 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.  ^Don't Fear Him |

| 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 _________________  |

| 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. |

| 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.

| 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.

| 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. |
