Blue Oyster Cult I
(1969 - 1981)
- Albert Bouchard - drums/vocals
- Allen Lanier - keyboards/guitar
- Donald "Buck Dharma"
Roeser - guitar/vocals
- Joe Bouchard - bass/vocals
- Eric Bloom - guitar/vocals
Albums:
- "Blue
Oyster Cult" (1972) - Single: "Cities on Flame with Rock
'n Roll" - Without a doubt, one of the strongest debut efforts I've ever
heard...by anybody. Roeser's guitar work on this album totally blew
me away, and I've still never heard anything to surpass it. There's
not a weak cut on this album. For fans of heavy guitar, you can't be
without this.
- "Tyranny
and Mutation" (1973)
- "Secret
Treaties" (1974) - Single: "Career of Evil"
- "Blue
Oyster Cult / Tyranny and Mutation / Secret Treaties" (box set)
(1996) - BOC's first three albums wrapped up in a neat package, a great way
to get these great albums at a reasonable price.
- "On
Your Feet or On Your Knees" (live) (1975) - I used to own this
album, but destroyed my copy because of the Nazi and anti-Christian symbolism
on the jacket. Having seen this band a couple of times, I always thought
they were better live than they came across on this album.
- "Agents
of Fortune" (1976) - Singles: "(Don't Fear) The Reaper",
"This Ain't the Summer of Love"
- "Spectres"
(1977) - Single: "Godzilla"

Enchanted Evening" (live) (1978)

Erectus" (1980)

of Unknown Origin" (1981) - Single: "Burnin' for You"

Live" (live) (1982)

New York City in 1972.

Hartman Recommends:
The first three albums, "Blue
Oyster Cult", "Tyranny
and Mutation", and "Secret
Treaties" are absolutely essential, and you can get all three
of these in a 1996
box set. If you're looking for a compilation, go with the
1995 2-CD set "Workshop
of the Telescopes".
