Ah, that's the Mod's theme song (another one is KC's "Discipline"  )... I love the live version on "ET Live" too.

Don't Fear the Reaper, because it's an awesome song to listen to and to play!

Raffaella, what do you think of Spectres?
Which is the most "prog" there in your opinion? The Golden Age of Leather or Nosferatu?
Both are wonderful? I love that album more than the previous Agents of Fortune...(which is great, don't want to be misunderstood...  ). |

You're right, Andrea... "Last Days of May" should be there at the very least! And "Transmaniacon" is great, I agree about that! As well as some more tracks from "Cultosaurus Erectus" and "Fire of Unknown Origin".

hmmm, the most part of the songs from their first album is missing. OK, Cities on Flame is the most rapresentative, but how about the wonderful opener " Transmaniacon MC"???
Almost all the tracks there are BOC's classics.

Of those, Black Blade (yes, believe it or not) and Burnin' For You.
I'm a big Moorcock/Elric fan, so that makes the first extra cool, and I just find my second choice to be a very catchy R&R song. (It's worlds away from their old sound though.)
I used to LOVE BOC -- had lots on vinyl -- but I seem to have largely outgrown them. 
(And Rainbow, and Alice Cooper and Sabbath.... Not Zeppelin or Purple though -- to me, they had more depth, and have aged better in my collection.)

i like "Burnin for you" too

Monsters/Black Blade (I only saw Black Blade after I'd already voted for the Spinal Tap-esque Marshall Plan, which was the song that finally got me into BOC; "It's gonna sound like... it's gonna sound like...  ").

Thanks Greg! 
I also like very much the opener of the 1983 album Revolution by Night. It's titled Take Me Away and is really one of the best there along with Shadow of California and Dragon Lady and Light Years of Love and ...
Think it's evident I'm a great fan.... |

Many possible selections, but I vote for "The Red and the Black." Now if "Dominance and Submission" had been on the list ...

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Oh God! What could I say? Astronomy and Flaming Telepaths since are both from my favourite album Secret Treaties.
Nevertheless, all the songs above mentioned are great. We fans of Blue Oyster Cult should have a special place in our heart for each one! 
What a pity for the absence of Veterans of the Psychic Wars....
