Eric Bloom, lead singer and guitarist of Blue Oyster Cult, knows that his band is legendary.

Sure, there are some whose knowledge of Blue Oyster Cult (BOC to purists) is limited to mega-hits “(Don?t Fear) The Reaper” and “Godzilla,” but metal purists contend the band still holds the crown for best metal from this side of the pond. Just ask those who buzz on BOC Web sites about the band?s latest tour and reissued CDs, “Spectres” and “Some Enchanted Evening.” Both include bonus tracks.
