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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

man that is hard... one of my alttime top favorite bands with great songs and great albums all the way across their career arc.
but I would have to pick from one of the first 3 .. not because they may have been more.. (god I hate that f**kign word) proggy.. but I simply enjoyed the sound and the energy of those. Lanier became more prominent on later albums which wasn't a bad thing.. but it did correspond perhaps intentionally in the way Bouchards drumming became less prominent after the first three. Perhaps it was the adjustment drummers often make as they have to tone down their playing in large arena/stadium settings which BOC was hitting with their 4 album but as great as many of the later albums were.. and they were.. and the great thing of the band.. even the less than great albums still had lots of great songs you'll never hear on the radio or some damn compilation album but alas they simply didn't flat out sonic assault you the way the first 3 albums did.. the way my favorite especially did.. Tyranny and Mutation.

Secret Treaties with the debut not far behind, Treaties is great all the way through but the debut has "Then Came the Last Days of May" which is by far and away my farvorite BOC song.

If I must chose a studio album, I'd have gone for Treaties with Spectres second, but since live albums are allowed, then I went for Enchanted Evening the expanded edition with the Live DVD performance. Even keeping SEE as a single disc, I like it better than Kness & Feet , but it would be a tie with ET Live.

Not at all. The last remaster appeared in 2013. I see many copies available via the usual outlets.

I'm not sure whether you intended the pun, but it's funny all the same.
