"This CD flat out rocks...BOC will NEVER grow old. This is their second best compilation CD, second only to "Workshop of the Telescopes," for the more educated BOC fan.This is the radio-friendly BOC cd...it has the big three, all penned by the greatest lead guitarist ever, Donald "Buck Darhma" Roeser. Plus it has some good Albert Bouchard-penned songs, like Dominance and Submission and Career of Evil, along with Pearlman's masterpieces Transmaniacon MC and Cities on Flame.Folks, if you think BOC's only good songs are Dont Fear the Reaper, Godzilla and Burnin' For You, BUY THIS CD and be BLOWN away. It was the first album that got me into this band, and I only bought it for Dont Fear the Reaper. Your in for a treat if you get this CD.Ratings: (out of **** stars)Dont Fear the Reaper ****Transmaniacon MC ****Cities On Flame ****Kick Out the Jams ***R.U. Ready to Rock ***1/2Career of Evil ***1/2Godzilla ****Burnin' For You ****Dominance and Submission ****Death Valley Nights ****"

Cult blue oyster.

"As you may have seen, there are numerous BOC collections around. For the non-fanatic, this is probably as good as any. Most importantly this has the three essential BOC tunes. Those being "Burnin' for you", "Godzilla", and the great "Don't fear the Reaper". Other less recognizable tracks on here are not quite as good, but the majority still rock, and I'm glad I know them now. The other big plus to this package is that it's dirt .... So if you want a low cost, single disc "best of" from BOC, it's "On flame with rock n' roll"."

"I am not a hardcore BOC fan, so this CD did the trick for me. I bought this disc for Burning for you and Don't fear the reaper. I ended up being quite impressed. There were another few tracks that wern't that bad. The CD satisfied my needs, but only gets three stars due to the fact, that it's about a 60-70 percent CD.
This is a great buy though for the price if it has the BOC songs you're looking for (which I'm sure it does)My top 5:
Burning for you
Don't fear the reaper
Cities on flame with rock and roll
Godzilla
RU Ready 2 Rock"
