I haven't voted in this poll, because it seems an insurmountable task to narrow my favourite BOC songs down to a top 5, and rank them in order. I don't expect this to be counted, but here a few BOC songs I love, which don't seem to be represented. Les Invisibles (Imaginos) Baby Ice Dog (Tyranny and Mutation) Cagey Cretins (Secret Treaties) Redeemed (BOC) Stairway to the Stars (BOC) She's as Beautiful as a Foot (BOC) Wings Wetted Down (T&M) Magna of Illusion (Imaginos) Shooting Shark (Revolution By Night) Shadow Of California ( " " " ") Lips in the Hills (Cultosaurus Erectus) 'Being chased around by the neighbor's cat But it's so lonely in the state of Maine' Edited by Braka1 - June 12 2020 at 16:21 |

Veteran of the Psychic Wars is vastly overrated if it's coming in at equal first place. It's dumbed-down compared to their early stuff.

On the other hand, I would have struggled to pick a BOC Top 10 and then rank the songs in order.

I never expected Veteran of the Psychic Wars to be leading the poll either. I thought (Don't Fear) The Reaper would win it easily, although my poll predictions usually turn out to be wrong.

Lyrically, Blue Oyster Cult's first three albums make most prog rock seem dumb.

Disagree, but I'm also surprised to see it in first place.

As a companion of sorts to Godzilla, I recently came across this instrumental "Gamera is Missing" by Buck Dharma.
Let's hear it for the giant turtle monster!

Guess it’s the song that made me a fan (via the Heavy Metal soundtrack). |

at the risk of being tossed put on my ass by my better half I'd agree... not that it is overrated... nothing by BOC really is overrated and is a great song.. but one of so so many but agreed that it simply doesn't hold a candle to their earlier stuff but that is just me. I tend to like my bands lean and hungry and full of fire rather than fat, rich and full of coke.

Got something against melodies, do ya! I like how the band evolved. Then again, I love '80s Rush.
