    Posted: June 11 2020 at 03:23

BLUE OYSTER CULT began life in New York in 1967 with a mixture of TYRANNY AND MUTATION. Having signed the SECRET TREATIES with the Columbia record label, the band became AGENTS OF FORTUNE with the success of their fourth album, which included the all-time classic "(Don't Fear) The Reaper". Blue Öyster Cult were able to put the SPECTRES of years of struggle behind them, with gleaming polished MIRRORS reflecting a bright future ahead.  There was now no danger of Blue Öyster Cult becoming extinct like the CULTOSAURUS ERECTUS dinosaur. The band were lit up and burning with success in a FIRE OF UNKOWN ORIGIN and ready to take the world by storm with a  REVOLUTION BY NIGHT down at the CLUB NINJA. IMAGINOS was a modern CULT CLASSIC album and a real return to form, but HEAVEN FORBID that Blue Öyster Cult should end their long career with the CURSE OF THE HIDDEN MIRROR. Smile 

 All albums in BLUE HIGHLIGHTS by Blue Öyster Cult

    That video for 'Shooting Shark' is like a clipshow from The Mighty Boosh!

    Well I just discovered that as of a few days ago, you won't be seeing it on Netflix.

    BTW the reason I haven't tried to assemble a tracklist is that I just have a lot of trouble fitting BOC songs from different eras together one the same imaginary album. 

    I could maybe put songs from 'Imaginos' together with songs from the first three albums, or I could maybe put songs from 'Agents of Fortune' through to 'Club Ninja' together, but I just can't make most of the songs from those two groups sit comfortably together.

    It would be a bit like a Pink Floyd album that had 'Dogs' and 'See Emily Play' on it.

    I've been listening to Flied Egg's two albums today on my Japanese Psychedelic Rock thread and they're sounding a bit like a Japanese version of Blue Oyster Cult. Smile
