Fantastic song. Blue Oyster Cult is the hard rocking, most lyrically gift, BEST sounding rock/metal/bluesy shock rock band EVER!!!! Long live Eric and Buck!
No, cb, the Leo I'm referring to is my old buddy that we became friends through music, especially BOC, and hanging out drinking, going after hot 80s "rocker" chicks, nice cars, etc. Oh, and by the way, BOC has been for about 40 years!
ok im dumb, LEO? a few to many drinks on new years.. there all good...its BOC not RATT or POSIN or some crappy band that live for 2 years..are thy saying that BOC got there sound from SAMMY HAGAR / VAN HALLEN give us true BOC fans a break thy stole the sound from BOC...BOC has live FOR OVER 20 YEARS ..HAPYY NEW YEARS TO ALL BOC FANS!!!!!!!!
BOC was all my dad listened to in his truck when i was a little girl,,, I know every lyric from every BOC song ever made. Now if they would add more BOC songs to Guitar Hero I would be a happy kitty.
I've been a longtime BOC fan and seen them over 15 times...but sorry to say I just could not really get into this album. I left it in my car cd player for a month to make myself listen to it/like it as much as the others.
Eventhough the musicianship is good...I'd definitely rate it near the bottom of all their other albums.
This song here seemed to be the best in my opinion but this album doesn't touch the others.
Although this LP is a bit of an acquired taste/elusive delicacy for even long time BOC fans; the sheer talent,musicianship & studio "Generalship" of these experienced "Veterans of the Psychic Wars" shines through. Eric Bloom's distinctive vocals really resonate on this catchy,slick number. Although it would be interesting to hear this with less 80's style percusssion & a heavier mix,the addictive chorus/vibe of this track is mesmerizing, esp. after repeated loud listens on a quality stereo.
"Imaginos" may have the longest/most convoluted genesis of any "Theme" record in the History of R n'R. Lack of A&R support, MTV oriented/greedy/trend obsessed Execs., contractual/personnel issues,content objections, & all manner of production/marketing disagreements, probably doomed this "Concept" project from Commercial success from the start. It subsequently became the Oyster boys' last Columbia release. If they were going to market a single from this; "Del Rio's Song" should have been chosen.
@SPAZZOBOXER well arent you an encyclopedia of facts? :) thanks for the info - but for a single, i always thought "blue oyster cult" was very catchy and maybe coulda made waves on rock radio of that time, as well as "astronomy:. this particular song is the most cheerful, thats for sure.

Weak Song? The only weakness in this Album is that BOC didn't record all of it. But Del Rio's Song belongs up there with the best of them.

This song has a lot of Sammy Hagar / Van Halen in its sound ... can anybody else hear it?
ghostAurora 2 years ago
@ghostAurora I'd say a bit more Bob Dylan in its sound. Try singing along with "Hey Mr tambourine man play a song for me..."

Here there is the classic Italian shitty copy \ paste.
Plagiarism: Giusy Ferreri - Non Ti Scordar Mai Di Me
Fuck Giusy Ferreri. Italians fuck off. But the funny thing is that the Italian people offend the Chinese people labeling it as a people copying
