I am surprised their first has only one vote. I added a second vote to this great album.

Of what I have heard I would say it's a draw between Tyranny and Mutation and Secret Treaties.  However, I have not yet heard Spectres, Mirrors, Cultosaurus or the debut album.  I agree that if Imaginos was on the list I would definitely choose that.

In the end I went with can't decide.  I think I need to get into some serious BOC listening soon.  The new 17 disc Columbia Albums Collection box set looks like a very attractive (and reasonably priced) proposition - even though I already own 4 of the albums.

Black Blade is the best from Cultosaurus. But Monsters is the prog one.

Thumbs Up YES!! This song is outstanding. CotHM was a welcome surprise at the time, and Heaven Forbid right before it was pretty solid, too. But Curse is nearly on par with the 70s BOC.

Oh for sure.  I think Shooting Shark and Shadow of California are great songs.  Dragon Lady isn't too bad either.

Funny enough, I love the song "Blue Oyster Cult" on Imaginos and its chant "We understand! We understand! We understand! Blue Oyster Cult."  For some reason that doesn't seem nearly as offensive.

It is ouch territory to be sure....can't imagine what they were thinking.  Much of Revolution ain't too bad though.  I remember that concert well, still have my T-shirt around somewhere.

I saw them in August '78 at the Oakland outdoor coliseum at a concert series that was called a "Day on the green".  The lineup was AC/DC, Cheap Trick, Blue Oyster Cult, Journey, Ted Nugent.  I would've been happier to have Blue Oyster Cult be the headliner as the only bands that blew me away that day were AC/DC and Blue Oyster Cult.

I love the first one, especially with the bonus tracks of Soft White Underbelly and Stalk-Forrest group tracks. They were still trying to figure out what they were doing and there are some seriously weird and unexpected songs on there.

I saw them in '76 and they were awesome. Saw them in '79 and they were not.
