I have to say Revolution along with Fire are my favourite of BOC and for some reason I like the whole of Revolution...

BOC do not play a style that I typically enjoy, but they have a lot of songs I like. I have only heard 3 or 4 albums in their entirety (Tyranny and Mutation, Mirrors, Agents of Fortune, Fire of Unknown Origin) and only really liked "Fire of Unknown Origin". But I enjoy many other songs like "Godzilla", "Death Valley Nights, Nosferatu, In Thee, You're not the one...

One of my favourite bands of all time......but I'm not allowed to vote in this poll for some reason???
Oh well, each of the first seven has some classic moments, but I'd probably say that 'Agents Of Fortune' just nudges it for me.

I played "Secret Treaties" to death when I was 15 and still love it. Being somewhat of a WWII history buff, Me262 has always been my fave BoC song...in fact, I remember buying a model of an Me262 and painting the BoC logo on the wings . "Cultosaurus Erectus" is a close 2nd, 'Lips in the Hills' is one of the great rock songs. Since live albums weren't included in the poll, I have to give a special award to the versions of "Hot Rails to Hell" and "The Last Days of May" on the "On Your Feet or On Your Knees" live album.

has to be Secret Treaties, as "Fire" is not here... Cultosaurous not bad at all, for some reason 80's Cult clicked better for me, I find some of the 70's albums too "awkward"

Man, I really like Cultasaurus, particularly the first few tracks, but my favorite has always been Tyranny & Mutation. It's cool and vicious and I dig the raw vibe.

What? I did a search for Blue Oyster Cult polls and came up empty!! But then I just tried again widened the search and did find one going back to 2010. I didn't see that the search went only back 6 months at first. Oh, well.

I can't vote yet because I'm still revisiting these, but I have a very different take on this band. My favorite albums are the ones most people hate....Spectres and Mirrors. And I like Agents, very diverse and imaginative. The Agents-Mirrors period is the one that most interests me, some really different and cool moody stuff.
Many of the others don't do much for me. The early hard rock ones, and Fires, are very disappointing albums. Cultosaurus flat out sucks.
Just initial reactions though, I need more time to play them all again.
I'm sorry, I can't talk to you anymore.
I do love Spectres, but Fire is one of my three favorite albums, up there with Secret Treaties and Imaginos. Give Cultosaurus some time, it's a grower.
No probs Doc
It's been really a fun reunion with this band. I look forward to reviewing them one day. If my views hold, I expect to be fully ostracized from the BOC community
...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell"
