I would honestly say yes. For prog related. They are nowhere like a straigt forward rock band and Ptor related just about does it.

I'd agree to slightly prog-related concerning their first three albums, ecspecially "Secret Treaties." All in all I don't think this is enough to consider them a prog band. By the way, I think Secret Treaties is a masterpiece of hard rock. I never really considered BOC a progressive rock band. They were very original through Secret Treaties, but then really commercialized from "Agents of Fortune" on. Another proggish album by them is "Cultosaurus Erectus." All in all a great band, but not prog in my opinion. I guess you could say prog related though with the albums I mentioned. I have all of their releases. Great band!

A great band - if they were to be included I would say Prog Related.

I like very much BLUE OYSTER CULT, i have their first 4 albums and "Imaginos" (1988), but i can't consider them as prog or prog-related; they're a great hard-rock band, with some folk-rock armonies and diabolic lyrics: "the american Black Sabbath". If you want BOC in the archives, you must include also LED ZEPPELIN and BLACK SABBATH (IMO).

They'll fit nicely in the prog related section. Although I'm not sure
what I think about the term. I love 'Secret Treaties', guess I think of
it as sophisticated hard rock.

Don't Fear (the Blue Oyster Cult)!!
BTW, The Sex Pistols are the opposite of everithing you could name "art"!
About BOC I think other very interesting albums are:
 (1975)
 (1981)

No, it's from 1976!
I have almost all the BOC's albums, so I'm sure of the dates !

Anyone who listens to the song "Astronomy" will know that BOC is as or
more proggy than a lot of seventies acts on this site, categories
notwithstanding.

Sure, prog-related, prog-induced, prog-befriended...wherever. It would be
nice to see.

Absolutely yes. They're one of the most inventive, sophisticated, imprevisible (and mysterioyus!) rock bands of all times. You want prog? Listen to "The Vigil" from Mirrors, "Flaming Telepaths" and "Astronomy" from Secret treaties, "Black Blade" and "Monsters" from Cultuosaurus erectus, the whole "Imaginos" masterpiece album... my point: if there are in PA the likes of Shadow gallery, Symphony X, death (!!!), BOC can't miss.

This is nonsense, BOC is much superior to Doors as far as "progness" is concerned
