^ amen to that ... impossible to choose if one really is a fan

one of the really few bands whose 'deep cuts' are in many cases better than the stuff you heard on the radio


this one has really shot way up my list of BOC favorites the last couple of years..

Indeed, too many to pick just one. 

I feel that way about that whole album Mick.  It gets so much abuse but it is diverse, dark, and really fun.  It is "saucy" as I like to say, mischievous, even catchy.  There is so much cool stuff going on.  Lots of nice sonic touches and superb musicianship throughout.  And even the big radio hit, while people get sick of hearing it, is not a bad song for that reason.  It's a pretty cool song.  I just adore that album for its personality.

Too many to mention... BOC are one of my Top 10 bands, but then it should be no surprise for anyone - given my avatar (which has been the same for many years). However, if I were forced to mention at least two, I'd choose "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" and "Seven Screamin' Dizbusters".

I feel the same way that's why I wanted to know the opinion of others, and thanks for the share from a true BOC fan 

as I do not know that much about them

Gotta be "Astronomy", from Secret Treaties, their best album.

"Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll" has one of the greatest riffs in rock history.

I assume you're talking to me, so...

I've heard the entire Agents of Fortune album, and I think I listened to some random songs. I suspect I should listen to some other albums, seeing as Agents of Fortune is one of the lower rated albums. Tongue

Probably "(Don't Fear) The Reaper", although I enjoy "Burnin' For You" very much. I should listen to more of their stuff, though, I haven't listened to many songs by them other than these two and some others.
I like coffee and crazy time signatures. Halfdream is my instrumental progressive metal/post-rock project.
