I love Fire of Unknown Origin because I had it as a kid.  Apart from that, I only ever listen to the first three albums, of which Secret Treaties is the best, I think.  I'll abstain from voting because I have only heard half of these choices so far.  I've listened to Agents of Fortune a couple of times and thought it was pretty weak except for "Summer of Love" and "ETI" (love that song).  Never really cared for "Reaper" anyway.  And the second half of the album just struck me as dull.

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.  Tongue

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.

I've always liked their wild and crazy occult rock and roll.......I went with Secret Treaties and then Agents Of Fortune, after that I really like Fire Of Unknown Origin, and there are some really cool tracks on the first one but the recording is really muddy on that one.
btw....Espers does a really cool version of Flaming Telepaths on their short cd.
One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

Secret Treaties and Spectres are my two favorites as well.  But, Secret Treaties it is. 

However, my favorite BOC album is definitely Imaginos.

Forgot to mention that I did not include live albums such as the monster great release ON YOUR FEET OR ON YOUR KNEES, which has a great title and I love when the band is introduced at the start of the show!

Blue Oyster Cult are one of the best American rock bands who often strayed into the Prog Rock territory. Which of their first 7 albums do you find to be the best. I won't vote, but if I did it would be hard to choose between SPECTRES and
SECRET TREATIES. Thank you!
