BOC makes the list for Most Underrated Bands of all time.
Simply put, Blue Oyster Cult is more than just "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" and the subject of a classic Saturday Night Live sketch. Yes, it's the hard rock/borderline progressive rock band's most well known tune, but there is so much more to its legacy. The band were great storytellers of musical imagery and fantasy. It made the listener think but also catered to mainstream audiences with other tracks such as "Burnin' for You" and "Godzilla." While other bands of its ilk from the 1970s and into the '80s enjoyed more sustainable commercial success, BOC just kept churning out quality yet under-the-radar gems that inspired the likes of Alice in Chains, Metallica, and Queens of the Stone Age.
