Imaginos

While doing some research I stumbled upon this Wikipedia entry about the Blue Oyster Cult band. BOC is best know for the song "Don't Fear the Reaper" which famously, needs more cow bell. But the 1988 album "Imaginos" is a sci fi concept piece which blows the doors off of something I said in an earlier post. You might know one song on this album, "Astronomy" because Metallica covered it in 1998.

Just a few days ago, when blogging about guitar players who are better then John Mayer, I indicated that Coheed & Cambria were a unique entity in prog rock concept music; because the name of the band is taken from the story that unfolds in the music. Lo and behold, the Blue Oyster Cult beat them to the punch by at least seven years!

I, even I, dear reader, can be wrong. Perhaps I am wrong about the number of commas that belong in that sentence. Yes, Perhaps.
