That was by far their best and most well known "single". To my mind, a later and somewhat inferior version of US folk/rock bands such as The Byrds (a truly awesome group) and The Flying Burrito Brothers. I understand BOC are still going and touring?

 

[Desert Eagle]

Yes they are.

I saw then at Stafford Bingley Hall years ago when they played the whole of the On Your Feet or On Your Knees set. Great band if you like rock. Don't Fear The Reaper is an all time classic.

When I heard the name I figured they must be some really old band from like the 50's or summit.

This pretty much confirms that they are.

Hard to find their CD's now but what I've heard by them I've liked. Very influential band.

Isn't Blue Oyster the gay bar from the Police Academy series?
