Blue Öyster Cult were big in the '70s but fell into obscurity afterwards. Usually only lovers of that era will come in contact with them, unless, of course, they play any rock playlist and will inevitably be facing the reaper.

I posted a picture of the band and someone asked me if one of them was Howard Stern

I know someone who thinks the same thing. I do agree that they have way better songs than the reaper that make it look generic in comparison.

Astronomy, Godzilla, Transmaniacon MC, Veteran of the Psychic wars. So much music to uncover and explore.

Spectres was I think one of the first full albums i've ever listened to outside of some greatest hits compilations. As time has gone on I've begun to view it as a perfect album in many ways. The diversity of the tracks, while still maintaining such a high quality... maybe hearing it at such a formative time has left me biased but i come back to listen often, and there is this magical, mysterious aura around it that is unmatched among all the music I've listened to.

I have to get into these guys' discography solely because of their amazing song titles/album covers and the fascinating conspiracy theories surrounding their music 🤪

(Don't Fear) The Reaper may be the greatest song of all time, but their entire discography is replete with gems of forbidden and esoteric rock power. Harvest Moon all the way in 1998 is something profoundly spiritual. My favorite band ever.

Might depend on your location sadly. I've seen some Americans complain about albums not being on their Spotify that are there in my country (Finland)

WHY DIDN"T I DISCOVER THEM EARLIER!!!! They were always on my recommended but I never showed any interest until autoplay did the sneaky and I was mindblown. BOC is just wayyyy too dope.So psychedelic, so metal, so heavy, yet so soft, so prog. They're like a mix of everything and yet they do it perfectly. The lyrics are superb and so poetic. Extremely relatable songs too.

It was always suggested on Spotify, but I love BOC so much now. I can't get enough of it. Usually when I listen to new songs, it doesn't stick around this long. Very few songs can stick so well.

Just hook that Flaming Telepaths shit directly into my bloodstream, maybe leave a little Dizbusters within arm's reach as a chaser and that's me sorted.

Yeah, most people I know probably know Don't Fear the Reaper pretty well and many like it too, but in those people's minds that song might as well be the only song they ever made and it's sad af

The Symbol Remains is their best since Fire of Unknown Origin was released in 1981. It's 40 years later and Buck and Eric are still doing their thing with some talented (and younger) blood. And it's great hearing Ricky sing on the new album. Tainted Blood is probably my favorite track on the album!

New album is sooo good. Cecilia, That Was Me and The Alchemist are my favorites now.

New album = Masterpiece. "The Alchemist" and "Edge of the World" top tracks. Welcome back BOC! <3

Great new album! Overall, it sounds like old BÖC a lot, and that's mattered the most to me. I don't expect bands to reinvent the wheel after more than 50 years of existence...
