BOC really don`t get that much of a mention on these threads which is a shame given just how great that band was in the 1970s. They emerged as an American answer to Black Sabbath, but in reality their sound was quite different and their early following largely came from bikers who quickly identified with the band and their unique mix of hard rock and heavy metal. At times their sound was often dense and complex, something though that could`ve done with better production or remastering on those early albums. IMO this band take a lot of listens to really appreciate their sound and their first three studio albums Blue Oyster Cult, Tyranny and Mutation and Secret Treaties and the live On Your Feet Or On Your Knees are absolute hard rock classics.
