FORMED: 1967, Long Island, NY "This ain't the summer of love," snarled Blue Oyster Cult singer Eric Bloom, resplendent in studs and black leather, back in 1976 on the band's platinum-plus best seller, Agents of Fortune, and the sentiment is perhaps even more revealing today. Blue Oyster Cult's new album, "Cult Classic" on Herald Records, distributed by Caroline, includes state-of-the-art digital re-recordings of the band's greatest hits, featuring the version on "Don't Fear The Reaper" heard in Stephen King's TV mini-series, "The Stand", and a new take on "Godzilla," which will serve as the theme music for a TNT "Godzilla-thon" movie special. In addition, the group has re-cut "Burning For You," "Cities On Flame With Rock & Roll," "Flaming Telepaths," the afore More... (Submit New Blue Oyster Cult Lyrics) (Submit New Blue Oyster Cult Lyrics) One of BOC's best songs overlooked by music industry | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song LIPS IN THE HILLS performed by Blue Oyster Cult Lips In The Hills, what an excellent song.The guitar work is scorching,face melting,Buck Dharma at his sharpest.So why is it when there is a song on an album like this one and it's released at the same time as some stupid tune like Slickback Cadillac by Quiet Riot is it overlooked and the sappy rock forced on us instead? I've called a local station asking for this song and they didn't play it. Too obscure.Lips In The Hills has been on most of my playlists since it came out. BOC gets no respect from the industry. I wonder if they will be nominated for the hall of fame anytime soon? This is about a guy becoming a vampire, isn't it? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song I LOVE THE NIGHT performed by Blue Oyster Cult But it's such a beautiful song anyway. This is the first time I've heard a song about turning into a vampire being such a sweet, romantic thing. Guy gets his heart broken, meets the vampire lady and finds a whole new existence. No horror whatsoever, just sweetness and love. One of the BEST of BOC! | Reviewer: Becca ------ About the song BURNIN' FOR YOU performed by Blue Oyster Cult I have always loved this song, from the references to home and time to the changes and finally the point of the song, and, of course, the band that put it all together, this song is a legend. I could hear it again and again and I would always appreciate it. Love it! updates | Reviewer: cinaman13@aol.com ------ About artist/band Blue Oyster Cult dude you need to update these bios this ones over 10 years old, also had the pleasure of shakin bucks hand in casino onmy birthday and tell huim they still sound awesomre after all this time nio diminishing of talent or sound at all An All Time Classic | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song BURNIN' FOR YOU performed by Blue Oyster Cult One of the best songs BOC put out. Their best album is Secret Treaties although Burnin' For You is not on this album. Check it out - not a single bad song on this album!! BOC ROCKS!!!!! great song-- a little bit disappointing | Reviewer: jason ------ About the song VENGEANCE (THE PACT) performed by Blue Oyster Cult the disappointing thing is that the quickened part ("Riding her bird/high in her saddle...") is too short. its a rocking interim before the return to the usual meter. speaking of which, the remainder of the song is typical BOC-- medium tempo, overplayed guitar riff, strange lyrics. how can you not love it!? SHOOTING SHARK - a great late night driving song! | Reviewer: Chris Franklin ------ About the song SHOOTING SHARK performed by Blue Oyster Cult The track 'Shooting Shark' from BOC's 'Revolution by Night' album is one of all time favourites. A classic love song with cryptic lyrics and an amazing bass line (provided by Randy 'soon to record with Journey' Jackson) that still gets to me everytime I hear it. I can't think of a funkier bass line even after all these years! The whole album is sheer AOR class - 'Eyes on Fire' , 'Feel the Thunder' and the sublime 'Light Years of Love' are among the highlights of a very strong album which helps to ensure that I still play it right through several times a week in my car, especially when I am driving home late at night. An underated album from one of the most underated rock bands on the planet. I have the late great Tommy Vance to thank for opening my ears to this track - he played it some 20 odd years ago on his classic 'Friday Rock Show' - God Bless ya Tommy! BOC did not cover this song | Reviewer: bob ------ About the song Ballroom Blitz performed by Blue Oyster Cult Are you ready, Steve? Aha. Andy? Yeah! Mick? OK. Alright, fellas, let's go! names of sweet band members. In BOC's ever rotating line-up they have never had any members named Steve Andy or Mike Eep. | Reviewer: Yo. ------ About the song GODZILLA performed by Blue Oyster Cult xDD Ilovethissong.

Wow | Reviewer: Someone ------ About the song GODZILLA performed by Blue Oyster Cult this is my favorite song in the whole wide world! i know all the words!GODZILLA Astronomy...A Star | Reviewer: Tim Geddes ------ About the song ASTRONOMY performed by Blue Oyster Cult Ever since the album Secret Treaties was released, the song Astronomy has been a star attraction in Blue Oyster Cults' repetoire. I first saw BOC perform the song in a concert at the classic Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles in 1975. Maybe because Buck and Eric didn't write the song, it fell out of favor after a while on the concert trail out in California. The previous few times I saw the band, according to Buck, Eric didn't feel like doing the song. Then, magically, I saw BOC in 2005 at The Grove in Anaheim, California and they finally played it. I had taken my son, my daughter and her boyfriend to the show. I had also taken my homemade sign with Astronomy and BOC artwork saying "C'mon, Eric, please do Astronomy!", just like a twelve year-old. While later songs like "(Don't Fear)The Reaper" and "Burnin' For You" have grabbed most of the what I call "jam time" in the live act, BOC still does a mean version of "Astronomy" (like back in '75). "Astronomy" will always be a star in my book. Lance | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song BURNIN' FOR YOU performed by Blue Oyster Cult This is one of the great classics.

Heard them live in 75! Must have listened to it a thousand times in the back \\\\ of the (nevermind), car! If you haven't lived it then , live it now! Wildman awesome song | Reviewer: MIKE ------ About the song BURNIN' FOR YOU performed by Blue Oyster Cult THE SONG IS REALLY GOOD, FOR ALL AGE GROUPS AND MOVIE PIECES ALSO. Melody is classic and will stick to your skull (in a good way!) | Reviewer: AMMO troop USAF 461 ------ About the song GOIN' THROUGH THE MOTIONS performed by Blue Oyster Cult I woke up last night and realized that this song was actually serving as a soundtrack in a dream I was having. Well, I couldn't remember who sang it at the time but jotted down the refrain and boom..there was BOC on Google. Anyway, a friggin' great tune whether sleeping or fully awake. BOC is so underrated it's sickening. I know that all you young punks think that this band is best spoofed by Sat Night Live (More Cowbell!!!) but I say F'U! It's a cute skit but a ROCK ICON of a band! Not sure which album (thats CD to you punkasses) but I also recommend MIRRORS...an awesome introduction to the severity of the tunesmiths known as Blue Oyster Cult! ROCK ON!
