Blue Öyster Cult - Discography

Since releasing their self-titled 1972 Columbia debut, Blue Öyster Cult have been called everything from the thinking man’s heavy metal group to an occult rock band to the first pop/heavy metal act. They have sold more than 25 million records, and they released a handful of singles during the ’70s that became classic rock radio standards, among them “Don’t Fear the Reaper,” “Burnin’ for You,” and “Godzilla.” Lyrics that crisscrossed science fiction, the occult, and horror films; their layered, three-guitar attack; expansive vocal harmonies; and almost inimitable balance between crunchy riffs and infectious hooks resulted in the most listenable metal of the ’70s. Their third album, 1974’s gold-certified Secret Treaties, established them as mainstays on FM radio, and they were enshrined as arena rock headliners worldwide with 1975’s double-live On Your Feet or On Your Knees, 1976’s platinum-certified Agents of Fortune, and 1978’s platinum live outing Some Enchanted Evening. The hits dried up only in the early ’80s, after their 1981 gold album Fire of Unknown Origin and its smash single “Burnin’ for You.” BOC’s lineup fragmented during the late ’80s, leaving the creative core of Donald Roeser (aka “Buck Dharma”) and lead vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Eric Bloom at the helm of its revolving cast of players. There were only two studio outings during the ’90s, with 2001’s Curse of the Hidden Mirror their last studio date for two decades before the 2020 release of The Symbol Remains. ― by Allmusic
