My old LP's

Did I mention BOC Agents of Fortune is way better than fans thought back in day. The day was 1976.

I think it's their second best behind Tyranny and Mutation. Critics disagree a bit.

I might call their first three releases a tie, depending on my mood.

AI seems to have missed their debut LP. Interesting.

Duck AI misses Tyranny and Mutation. Now it's just pitching stuff out there. Come on. Think!

All this said "Burnin' for You" is a great song. It's on "Fire of an Unknown Origin". So there.

B.O.C. " Mirrors " is a good L.P. along with " Spectres " .

Yes some good songs in those for sure. Godzilla I hate that song - maybe just because it was overplayed - takes away from some of the greats on Spectres. I only have the CD, and streaming of course.

Mirrors I have not re-evaluated on this system. I never bought the LP or CD.
 
Could listen to them on Y.T.. Sound quality not to shabby . Use the digital coax out of T.V. to AMC Dac8 ( D.A.C ) to receiver . Best to turn off LEVELING for audio at Y.T..
 
Still a favorite of mine. I enjoy their writing and harmonies.

Now you got me going. B.O.C. is one I have seen so many times since 1974 that I lost track of how many shows long ago. Actually just saw them the last time in 2024. On Your Feet or On Your Knees from 1975 has been one I have owned on 8track / cassette / vinyl and now CD forms. Buck has to be one of the greatest (kind of ignored by the music media) guitarist I have seen and I have seen many of the greats.
Pablo. What are your favorite 3-4 songs by them? Mine would be some like #1) Subhuman #2) Harvester of Eyes #3) Maserati GT (I aint got You.) #4) Buck's Boogie. There are so many this list could go on and on..... Cities On Flame.... Astronomy.... Hot Rails to Hell..... ME262.....
They have lost some really great talent over the years (Bouchard brothers, Alen Lanier) but at least Buck and Bloom are still out there leading and every time they replaced someone it was with a very talented pick. Those guys (Buck-78yrs & E. Bloom-80yrs! old) must have found the fountain of youth to still be out there at their ages....

Astronomy and Teen Archer and Cagey Cretins, plus all the songs you list!
 
Just now listening to this 1963 pressing I found while going through my albums. Incredible sound quality! Nice dynamics and low noise. Just about pristine. Seems more appropriate for a turntable than digital, but I have no doubt that the WiiM with a bit of parametric equalization would sound just as good or better.

Happy Thanksgiving all!!

There is a documentary (probably too many :rolleyes:) titled Fifty By Four from 2014 on them that has been streaming on Roku a while back. I watched it and it was quite good. I knew of Crosby already from his Byrds days with Roger McGuinn when CSNY started up. Stills is another that in my opinion has always been such a super talent that often got little of the credit he should have. I really enjoyed all forms of their bands + material from CSNY to CSN and any other versions they participated in thru the years. I would say one of the last of the ones once called "the super groups" from back in their days. I found out several years back that there are still many groups who are very talented and play similar music that simply get zero to very little at all exposure thru the media. A group called BlackBerry Smoke is one that comes to mind we found out about and have seen a few times over the last 5-6 years. LoL I could call them new but actually only new to us as they had been around and very successful before we somehow stumbled upon them. Do not miss a chance to see them.

Too many fun ones to name. Flaming Telepaths! Hahahahha Career of Evil?? Ha!

Sadly I only saw them once. But it was a gymnasium and I was on stage. Nothing like that in my whole life. I was 18. They were all very nice to me, I am pretty sure I was mute and my eyes were the size of dinner plates.

This and other reasons why I am a bit angry about all my BOC LP's that went missing in a move. I don't get angry about much. Ugg.

Career of Evil! Hahaha! They did it last year when we saw them.
Many classic groups who have lost so many members but several are still out there , I am not enthused about seeing. Why? Because most, I will check on YouTube before I let the wife attempt to talk me into one of those shows. I find many are truly as bad as some poor excuse of a tribute/copy band. Certainly not worth someone's money for the wildly expensive prices they expect folks to pay.

I can honestly say that BOC , even to this day still sound as good , if not better than the early days. I would not pass a chance to see them if they play near you. I really can not see how they can go much longer with the ages of the last remaining original members. Late 70s and early 80s ages! WoW. Still out there? They must be on some mighty strong vitamins!

The wife does not give a hoot because she is just looking for ANY show to go to. I just feel it is asking a bit too much for those high prices when you are paying for something you are not really getting. Copy/tribute bands should not be asking the kind of money they are.

Lynyrd Skynyrd for example are down to the original drummer and the original singer's brother... A really very poor excuse for what once was.
