Rickter Scale Show 154 - BOC

[Rick and Roll]

airing from 8-11 PM EST Sunday, November 11 and from 1-4 PM EST Monday, November 12:

One of the greatest bands from my era is Blue Oyster Cult. Since their first record 35 (!) years ago, they've put out some great music. I think it would be a lot of fun to hear some.

A few songs are off limits today....Godzilla, Don't Fear The Reaper, Burnin' For You, Cities On Flame, E.T.I., Dancing In The Ruins. Sorry, you'll just have to dust off the best of collection for them.

As usual with the single artist shows, I have a key so we can follow along:
