^ 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.. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

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. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sQD8uhpWXCw" rel="nofollow - It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...Road Rage Edition |

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

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.

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. https://halfdream.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - Halfdream is my instrumental progressive metal/post-rock project. |

(Don't fear) The Reaper could sound an obvious choice, but I feel it's one of their greatest achievement - and one of the best songs in the history of rock. I definitely freak out for "Subhuman" as well. -------------

I was always a little disappointed in that album....Imaginos.... which was based on esoteric themes by Pearlman I believe who wrote many of their lyrics and was into various occult ideas. I think they were supposed to have done that as a concept album earlier but for some reason it wasn't done until later so some of the songs were used on other albums. It didn't come off well for me but it's still a decent album since BOC made it.  ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

| I'll be honest, the way I got into BOC was from a greatest hits album. But damn they did have a lot of good tunes on it. Aside from already knowing Reaper and Burnin' for you. |
