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! LOL

I like how the band evolved. Then again, I love '80s Rush.

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.

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

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

As a companion of sorts to Godzilla, I recently came across this instrumental "Gamera is Missing" by Buck Dharma.

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

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. Smile

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

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'
