BOC....I don't know if I can pick a favorite album as I love them all, but "Imaginos" is definitely one of them.

I suggest you revisit Cultosaurus Erectus and turn it up to "11"! Get ready for "Black Blade"...!

Coincidentally I listened to Cultasaurus Erectus just a few hours ago. Not a favorite but quite good anyway.

Secret Treaties - but the first three are superb. The debut especially is an overlooked classic. I remember a rock encylopedia in the 80's calling it 'one of the most extraordinary debut albums of all time'. Imaginos is another overlloked classic. Always thought 'Cultosaurus' was easily the best of their mid period ones.

There's supposed to be a new album coming soon, hopefully before the end of the year.
Their last one, Curse of the Hidden Mirror was a rock-solid entry on par with their early '80s albums, IMHO.

I'm not familiar with enough of their albums to vote but I do like Agents of Fortune and Fire of Unknown Origin quite a bit.

That's the first Blue Öyster Cult album I ever heard, after a friend at school played it for me. It's good to see all of the Live albums have picked up some votes. I'm glad I remembered to include them. I'll have a Top 5 Blue Öyster Cult songs poll coming up before too long, just as soon as I've written the introduction.

That particular Live album was my introduction to Blue Oyster Cult, so I just HAD to include it in the poll, along with their other two Live albums.

Secret Treaties. I still have the lyrics they sent via mail if you wrote them and requested them. Printed by computer on that 70's green and white striped paper that predated dot matrix printers....

got to meet them after a 1996 show and pump them for info. Bouchard quit the band and went back to teaching High School in New York. Lanier said kids would yell from their seats with hands raised "Mr. Bouchaaaad Mr. Bouchaaaad! Izzit true you was in Blue Oyster Cult?"

I went to see Blue Oyster Cult in the early 1980's at the Birmingham Hippodrome during their "Mirrors" tour. I remember they had mirrors on the back of their guitars which they used to reflect the lights back at the audience.

"Fire of Unknown Origin" for me. I'm familiarizing myself with the others and thus far none compare. The second best might be "Spectres"

^ yeah the shear awesomeness of Golden Age of Leather and Nosferatu raise the level of Spectres to greatness. The rest of songs are good enough to keep it there.. ie no junk to bring it down. though Goin' Through the Motions walked a fine line of doing that. Not bad.. just not the very good you expect and they delivered on pretty much everything to that point (their first 4 albums. .with no a single damn weak spot)
