dude I have heard so much BOC in the last .. well especially 15 years.. I can hear 'em in the head...the cranial IPOD...the only real need to popping the CD's in these days is to continue destroying my hearing, the joy of knocking pictures and artwork off the wall and occasionally paying the neighbor back for his absolutely sh*tty taste in music

Luckily, I have a neighbour who's into Prog-Rock. He told me recently his favourite band is Genesis and he's the kind of good neighbour who asks me to turn the music up and play it LOUD when I put my stereo outside in the garden.

I pity you man... and thank God I don't have a neighbor into Genesis.. what this dude lacks in music he makes up for in ... lively (and loud) companionship.... so at least he has that going for him. With Genesis fan you still get the suck.. but with no broads.. hah...

I'm a Genesis fan too. I have all of their albums, up to and including Wind & Wuthering.

Cheers! I dislike the 1980's Phil Collins Genesis probably just as much as you do.

This got me thinking how ive actually neglected to play much BOC recently so ive dug out all my vinyl lps- from the S/T first lp up to Revolution by Night.. except I cant find Mirrors (which actually I don't remember that well.. but certainly had it!) and have started playing back to back! First up is the S/T 1st lp- i'd forgotten how much I love this lp; certainly all killer no filler only critism is that the sound is a bit distant and lacking in dynamics.. Next up Tyranny and Mutation... much more in your face sound and production. Last time I saw BOC was a couple of days before my daughter was born so just over 31 years ago!

Many of Blue Oyster Cult's full albums are currently available on YouTube, so I could post them underneath my Blue Oyster Cult albums poll.

^ Cheers Paul; I could certainly catch up on the post 'Revolution by Night' albums.. I think it was the 'Imaginos' tour when I saw them last and I never got round to listening to the album or 'Club Ninja' that came before. I was going to see them in Bristol early last year but I think it was cancelled.. shame.. Was about to dive into 'Secret Treaties' but my mrs appeared with the hoover and informed me she'd done upstairs.. so I had to take a domestics break
 so it will be tomorrow |

Luckily, the full Secret Treaties album is currently available on YouTube and it's also the winning album in my Blue Oyster Cult albums poll.

I only know 2 songs by them (number 1 and 4) . Veteran Of Psychic Wars does get played on Planet Rock Radio which Is where I heard it. Jeremy Vine played Reaper as his first song on Radio 2 just after we went into lock down

^^ Jeremy Vine obviously has great taste in music, and that was an excellent choice of song in the current climate of fear of death from a killer virus.
