>Secret Treaties by Blue Öyster Cult (3.84 on RYM, #28 for 1974)>Getting Killed by Geese (3.85 on RYM, #1 for 2025)
>>130090797Battle of the astroturfed bands. Secret Treaties is definitely way better though
>>130090841How the fuck is Blue Oyster Cult astroturfed?
>>130090942Sandy Pearlman was a music critic and through him they had ties to other critics
>>130090797
>>130090841>>130090942>>130090975true but it's important to remember most bands at the time, like 90 percent were astroturfed or industry plants. there was no internet yet.
>>130090797>3.8 is not even top 25 in the 70s>3.8 is easily aoty in the 2020sand people say music isn't dead
>all this meaningless RYM bullshitGrow up, dumbass.
>>130090797the geese score is inflated by their marketing team
>>130099397naw, it's inflated by novelty, we were in such a drought for alternative rock that Geese felt like a breath of fresh air when shit like 3D Country and Getting Killed released but in terms of the overall alternative canon it's lower-mid at best
>>130090797I guess BOC. I like that Geese album well enough but I preferred Die Spitz Something to Consume, and obviously live Die Spitz are significantly more fun.
