astronomy imprinted on me so hard when i first heard it like 15 years ago i wrote an entire arc of eal that was drawn from its lyrics. the entire imaginos mythos became super formative later
i also really like harvest moon and the live performances of then came the last days of may!

If Imaginos was put out as intended, people would realize that BÖC is one of the best american rock bands.

I have endless fascination and love for Imaginos by Blue Oyster Cult. A misbegotten, oddly-assembled thing, the product of backdealing and record label bullshit, an artifact of hubris and unfulfilled ambition with some very catchy tunes. (Also the album that incidentally gave Joe Satriani a career.)
To shift gears for a moment:
What's a band or artist that is critically reviled or easy to dunk on that you passionately, unironically love?
For me it's the Presidents of the United States of America and Marcy Playground. I'm happy to discuss those two for hours 😂

I feel like the later books in this series don't even begin to make sense unless you are alternating Imaginos and Chronicle of the Black Sword tracks while reading.

For the longest time it would have been “Pony Express Record” by Shudder to Think. Now it might be Blue Oyster Cult’s “Imaginos” because the story behind that album is absurd comedy.
You have a month to write a 33 1/3 book about the album of your choice.
Which record are you going to write about?
