I also don't like that album. Actually, can't stand that album.

Fire of Unknown Origin, mainly for the amazing Don't Turn Your Back.  As much as I like BOC, I find only three of their songs really transport me - I Love the Night, Don't Turn Your Back and Here Comes That Feeling Again (all have wonderful Dharma solos).  Fire...is more consistent than the respective albums that have the other two songs, so going with Fire.

Imaginos is my favorite, although I suppose in some respects it is the least BOC of the BOC albums.  Following closely are Secret Treaties and Fire of Unknown Origin.  
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Their debut.
Of course.

The first album was great, and then selected songs thereafter.

They've done a lot of great stuff, but nothing tops Secret Treaties.

I used to be really into Blue Oyster Cult for reasons which confuse me now. Back in the day, I liked Tyrany and Mutation best, but these days I find myself leaning towards the debut.

I only have a few, but my favorites are Tyranny and Mutation & Fire of Unknown Origin. The first 3 are all good to have. Agents of Fortune, which usually rates highly, is actually pretty dull for the most part.
