i'm very happy with my playlist but i had to make a conscious effort not to include every song from Tryanny & Secret Treaties so a few good ones get left out....but you kinda have to or it's more just a complete discography not a mix

also: Imaginos isn't on spotify so that album is not represented (though i understand i'm probably not missing much)

Cello on Joan Crawford <3 <3 <3

m@tt have you done one of these for Rush?

nah i've only done 2 big playlists, an old school rap one and BOC, both were just sort of spur of the moment things when i got into spotify, shit i was into listening to, but yeah would be fun to listen to a bunch of rush for a week and do one

This is great bc I really wanted to put all my BOC on the ipod for work today but was too exhausted last night.

i'm actually listening to it now..."i love the night" is a thing of strange beauty

Best BOC song: Veterans of the Psychic Wars

^ used to think this. find it a bit tiresome now. not saying that it's bad, just that its pop rewards are slight.

Wow, I just heard the most awful dance-pop cover of "Burnin' For You". Going by wiki it might have been the Shiny Toy Guns cover, but I'm not familiar with them enough to know if it was or not. It was a trainwreck.

A much happier wreck: the use of BOC's original over the car crash scene in Let Me In.

Huh, maybe I will have to watch that sometime.

It's good! The ways in which it differs from the Swedish one are really interesting.

A very watered down cover version of Burning for You was used in a lame commercial a few years ago.

According to wiki that is the Shiny Toy Guns version, but I don't recall that commercial to know if it was the same crappy version or not.

It's good! The ways in which it differs from the Swedish one are really interesting.

Hmm, I'll look out for it then. I had thought I didn't need to see the Americanized version since I really liked the original.

did u guys see this. http://bigozine2.com/roio/?p=1083
it is pretty rockin'

Ooo sweet!

During the surf music wave of the 90s, Drag Strip did a great instrumental cover of Don't Fear The Reaper. Including the guitar solo!

* * * * *

Originally formed in Long Island as Soft White Underbelly in 1967, Blue Öyster Cult combined adventurous lyrical themes with an aggressive instrumental sound. With passion and intelligence on display in equal measure, Blue Öyster Cult became the thinking fan’s rock band and a sign of life in a sea of dull, anemic soft-pop. Anthems like “Godzilla,” “Harvester of Eyes” and “Don’t Fear the Reaper” stretched the boundaries of rock topics while lead guitarist Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser became a hero to legions of budding axe-wielders. The band’s mystique extended to their album artwork, resulting in some of the most distinctive and iconic LP covers of the rock era. Blue Öyster Cult - The Columbia Albums Collection gathers the essential pieces of the Blue Öyster Cult story into one mind-boggling totality.

psyched for the new remasters (CULTO!) and rarities discs, though the box is way out of my price range.

I know. Any guesses if they'll be available individually? It might almost be worth it for On Your Feet Or On Your Knees and Lenny Kaye's (!) booklet.

I don't expect any of the remasters to be separately released. None of the prior "complete records" boxes have had any remasters sold as single albums. Cuts into box sales if you can pick and choose.

i'm assuming some of these will be the previous issued remasters from a few years ago?

the list above shows which remastering batch they're from

ok

also sad there's nothing new in the vaults from these 2

10. Cultösaurus Erectus (1980 - studio) - 2012 Remaster
11. Fire of Unknown Origin (1981 - studio) - 2012 Remaster

could be on the rarities disc.

I assume they're not padding those out because they're not being sold as single discs like the prior remasters had been.

yeah hope there's more from those eras on the rarities....would love some fire outtakes

^^^

Non box question: has anyone seen Blue Coupe play ? It's Dennis Dunaway from the Alice Cooper band (the "Coupe") and the Bouchard brothers from BOC (the "Blue"). I've heard good things.

damn! that could be cool.

This is a band having fun:
