"Harvest Moon" is one of their best songs. Boo-hiss to you who rate Heaven Forbid so low!
I think my favorite songs, beside that one, would be "ETI: Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence" (one of the greatest choruses ever penned), "Then Came the Last Days of May," "Astronomy," and of course, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper."

My personal recommendations would be their first three albums (BOC, Tyranny and Mutation, Secret Treaties) - also known as the 'black and white trilogy', then Cultosaurus Erectus and Fire of Unknown Origin. Spectres is also quite good, but more 'radio-friendly' than the others mentioned, while I find Agents of Fortune somewhat underwhelming, and Mirrors very weak.

OK, it seems there are appreciation threads for a lot of Proto and Related bands, but none so far dedicated to the mighty BOC - and that in spite of the many fans the band has on the Archives. Therefore, the time has come (pun intended!) for us to encourage as many members as possible to join the Blue Oyster Cult, and discuss everything related to this great band - who, in spite of being out of a record contract, are still alive and kicking on the live circuit.
I discovered BOC in the early Eighties, when they had just released the album I have as my avatar, Fire of Unknown Origin, and I've been a fan since then. I saw them live only once (Rome, 1986), and was blown away... After that, I managed to miss them at least three times in the past few years, but hopefully 2010 will be the year for me to see them again.
