      "Transmaniacon M. C.". "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll" is later (track 8) of "Blue Oyster Cult", "See You in Black" is off the recent album "Heaven Forbid", and "White Flags" is the first track on the album "Club Ninja".

    The album "Tyranny and Mutation" is divided into two sides. What are the names of the two sides?Blue Oyster Cult

      The Red and the Black. The liner notes for "Tyranny and Mutation" say the Red "is more fully revved" and the "texture is crisper and brighter". In contrast, the Black has "more folk-rock melodies and glittery arpeggios" which suggest a "chill and ghostly and feminine" sound.

    Which song is NOT a Blue Oyster Cult song?Blue Oyster Cult

"Nosferatu" was off "Spectres", "She's as Beautiful As a Foot" came off the eponymous debut album, and "7 Screaming Diz-Busters" was on "Tyranny and Mutation". Isn't it a sign of artistry to write a song called "She's as Beutiful As a Foot" and have it actually be good?

      Flaming Telepaths. "Flaming Telepaths" was a song from Blue Oyster Cult's 1974 album "Secret Treaties". The song wasn't released as a single, nor did it become one of the most popular from the album. Arguably, the most popular song off of the album, was the moody, yet rhythmic song, "Astronomy".

    "How could I fool you, rest and assure you, take you off from here and put you on the line". What song did these lyrics come from? Blue Oyster Cult Lyrics

      O.D.'d On Life Itself. "O.D.'d On Life Itself" was a song from Blue Oyster Cult's 1973 album, "Tyranny and Mutation". The album was the Cult's second one, and made very weak strides in the popularity charts. None of the album's singles charted, and the album itself peaked at a mere #122 in the US Charts and stayed there for 12 weeks.
