| I just thought of this. Two synth based albums that kind of predate the synth rock era(ie Rush's eighties albums). |

| Neither. It´s long time I´ve heard that Moodies album and never heard that Blue Öyster-album. |

BOC > Moodies. I've never been able to get into TMB. Just not for me. OTOH, BOC are awesome. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

| Wow, have you guys even heard these albums? Maybe not full blown prog but I would think both(or at least one) would appeal to most prog fans especially those who like symph prog(at least a little bit). |

| I would prefer to hear the Moody Blues than Blue Oyster Cult. |

BOC, of course ! No surprises here... Besides having a great cover, Fire of Unknown Origin contains some of the band's greatest songs, namely "Joan Crawford", "Vengeance: The Pact", and the marvellous "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" (though the latter's definitive version is to be found on ET Live). |

| I'm having a tough time deciding. I'm a bigger MB fan and that is one of my favorites by them. There's only one weak track imo(talking out of turn) although gemini dream is maybe a bit too discoey or ELO-ish or both. Lol. There are, however, no weak tracks on that BOC album. Still, not sure I can choose. |

'Voyager because the 'Cult album doesn't have Patrick Moraz on it. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

agreed! I am more of a Moodys fan overall but that is probably my favorite BOC album "burning for you" and "Don't turn your back" are also pretty awesome
