Granted I'm playing catch-up here so bear with me...

>But, being the nice guy that I am, I will save you some time and list them
for you:

Don't Fear the Reaper
This Ain't the Summer of Love
Godzilla
The Red and the Black
O.D.'d on Life Itself
Goin' through the Motions
Black Blade
7 Screaming Diz-busters
Burnin' for You
Flaming telepaths

Sigh, been there done that.  John is probably right on all counts Sony
doing something at low cost to squeeze a few more bucks out of the BOC
name.  Damn they are shamless.

Now as for least favorite BOC tunes, there be plenty of choices but many
I would disagree with here, most notably Light Years of Love.   This is
one strange song and it took a while but its really grown on me.
Someone also pointed out that I Am the Storm is a real downer after the
Vigil.  Therein lies the problem with a lot of the later albums.  The
song order for most of BOC's catalog is pretty lame.  Rearrange some
them and some of these albums sound a lot better.

Club Ninja and RBN are not total losers.  Shuffle the songs like a deck
of cards and both albums can actually be pretty good, lame lyrics and
subject matter aside.

Whew final thoughts can't really generate enough energy to say which BOC
songs I hate (Dr. Music being an exception) but from the trash people
have thrown away, I'd definitley reclaim, Searchin' for Celine, Fallen
Angel, and everything from RBN.

Oh, recommended BOC first listen, get the three pack from Sony
(BOC/T&M/ST) definitely the best bargain to be had.  I would not start
with Imaginos, just don't think its that worthy, the way it turned out
and all.  Would have been one of the best ever if people had let Al do
it the way it should have been done but there was enough interference to
ensure that it didn't happen that way.
