About Blue Oyster Cult
Blue Oyster Cult built a rock catalog around the singing and guitar work of core members Eric Bloom and Donald 'Buck Dharma' Roeser. The band's release history connects (Don't Fear) The Reaper with Agents of Fortune in 1976, Godzilla with Spectres in 1977, and Burnin' for You with Fire of Unknown Origin in 1981. Later live recordings revisit those albums, so a studio selection and a concert rendition retain separate identities.
