<p>Blue Öyster Cult On Track is a song-by-song analysis of the discography of Long Island's greatest sons, the Blue Öyster Cult. Dubbed "the thinking man's heavy metal band" and celebrated by critics, fans and musicians since their debut album in 1972, the band carved a unique path in hard rock history by combining chops, humour, occultism, poetry, jazz chords and pop sensibilities. Best known for their FM radio hits "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" and "Burnin' For You", Blue Öyster Cult's discography is in fact a treasure trove of fascinating, ever-evolving music by a band that was never afraid to explore, and never had the slightest respect for genre boundaries. The band's influence stretches from seminal metal bands like Metallica to cult act like Current 93 and their music has been heard in movies like "Scream" and "Halloween" and has been quoted by Stephen King. This book combines the author's analyses of Blue Öyster Cult's songs with insights from band members and people who worked with the band through the years. It is the ultimate companion for a deep dive into the catalogue of a band whose music is both inscrutable, fascinating and rewarding. From the canonized first 4 albums through their controversial 80s output and all the way to their revitalization and comeback in the late 90s, this book treats every era of the band with equal respect.</p>

<p>Turn on the radio anytime, anywhere in the world, and sooner or later you will hear 'Africa'. Along with just a handful of songs by artists and groups like Michael Jackson and The Beatles, Toto's 'Africa' is one of the most ubiquitous musical works of our time. It was written by a group of session musicians who grew up together in Los Angeles' San Fernando valley. Together they helped define the sound of the late 70s and 80s, appearing on numerous hit records by Michael Jackson, Boz Scaggs and Steely Dan. But it was together, as Toto, that they found their true form, fashioning a fine blend of funk, hard rock, pop and progressive rock that has enamoured millions of record buyers since their debut in 1978. 'Hold the Line', 'Rosanna' and 'Stop Loving You' are just a few of their other iconic hits. At the same time, their success came at a price. From the early days, Toto were a target for the music press, who disdained their anti-image, their slick chops and polished sound - all at odds with the post-punk and new wave aesthetics prevalent at the time. Yet Toto have always persevered, driven by their love for the music - and their fans' love for them. Lately Toto has been riding a renewed wave of popularity, not to mention a belated restitution from the rock media.</p>
