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. Smile

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.

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.

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.

I'd have to give it Secret Treaties.

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.

I am curious about Imaginos now as I have not heard that one.


Quite difficult to get hold of I think....

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

Hey, a BÖC poll!

IMO, Cultosaurus Erectus is the perfect BÖC album. Other albums are great but there's something about C.E. It kixass all the way through, and has some of their best songs, like the riveting "Black Blade" and the freaky "The Marshall Plan." 

I do love Imaginos and the underrated Mirrors, but I have to vote for C.E.

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