BLUE OYSTER CULT began life in New York in 1967 with a mixture of Tyranny and Mutation. Having signed the Secret Treaties with the Columbia record label, the band became Agents of Fortune with the success of their fourth album, which included the all-time classic (Don't Fear) The Reaper. Blue Öyster Cult were able to put the Spectres of years of struggle behind them, with gleaming polished Mirrors reflecting a bright future ahead. There was now no danger of Blue Öyster Cult becoming extinct like the Cultosaurus Erectus dinosaur. The band were lit up and burning with success in a Fire of Unknown Origin and ready to take the world by storm with a Revolution by Night down at the Club Ninja. Imaginos was a modern Cult Classic album and a real return to form, but Heaven Forbid that Blue Öyster Cult should end their long career with the Curse of the Hidden Mirror. Never fear though, because the release of their most recent album in 2020 guarantees that the Blue Öyster Cult Symbol Remains forever!

Something like this: Fire of Unknown Origin - Vengeance (The Pact) Secret Treaties - Astronomy
Cultosaurus Erectus - Black Blade Spectres - Nosferatu Agents of Fortune - (Don't fear) The Reaper Tyranny And Mutation - Wings Wetted Down The Symbol Remains - Florida Man - & btw: Club Ninja is better than its reputation. It would actually get the 8th spot. - Also check our Robert Galbraith's (aka J.K. Rowling) book: At the beginning of every chapter of Career of Evil, there is a line or two of lyrics from a Blue Öyster Cult song. -The band and their songs plays a part in the actual storyline as well. It's fun! |

^ The Symbol Remains is a great album!
Staying on the subject of "Seven", how about this starry song from the stellar Imaginos album... Along the world axis The Empress lay sleeping To the rhyme of the, of the, of the star clock Seven sleepers Seven sages Seven ladders to the, to the Seventh heaven Seven stars Had Ursa Major.... |

One of my favorite 'weird' hard rock bands....I recall hearing their first lp blasting from my brothers front porch in Bloomington IN at IU when I visited him one warm spring day at his new place ....I was still in a dorm. It blew me away and we all rolled a few and continued listening.
Secret Treaties- 'Flaming Telepaths/Atronomy Blue Ouster Cult-'Transmaniacon MC' Agents of Fortune-'Dont Fear the Reaper' Fire of Unknown Origin-'Joan Crawford' Tyranny and Mutation-'Mistress of the Salmon Salt' Spectres-'Godzilla' Curse of the Hidden Mirror-'Old Gods Return' |

Thinking about how much I love that quartet, their debut should possibly have taken my last and seventh spot. But I was so pleasantly surprised by their latest album, I gave it to The Symbol Remains (but admittedly no songs on it mean as much to me as the mentioned tracks from their self titled)

1979: Blue Öyster Cult - Mirrors - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mXbKNqzBk7EPPTuflC1KsgVmIWHmo1sYY
Is there Life on Mars? No, but there's plenty of life in Las Vegas and the surrounding desert and some of it is extraterrestrial life too. So best keep The Vigil just in case E.T. happens to drop by. 🛸Edited by Psychedelic Paul - December 18 2023 at 05:27 |
