BOC: Sitcom mention

[Sprawl]

BOC was also one of the (wrong) choices in a multiple choice question on
the "Who wants to be a millionaire" gameshow.

Question:
:What band did Paul McCartney go on to form after leaving the Beatles?

A. BTO
B. ELO
C. Wings  or
D. Blue Oyster Cult.

Subject: BOC: Sitcom mention

I'm impressed that a soundtrack to a sitcom (of all things) would feature
CoF as the representative BOC track. If someone asked me what BOC track
would make it onto the CD, I would have bet big money on Reaper. I like the
fact that whoever put this comp together decided to buck (sic) the obvious
track choice. It definately makes me curious as to what the other tracks
are.

Although the show couldn't totally stay away from Reaper, could they? ;-)

Not to start another of those "which track would you like" threads...ah,
why not. Ahem...Which BOC tune would you most like to see on a soundtrack
to a mainstream TV show? And which show would it match with?

My choice: "The Vigil" for an X-Files soundtrack (is there already one of
these?)
The contrast of the heavy and melodic sections of Vigil would work well
with the dynamics of X-Files. Not to mention the lyrics.

Secondary choice: "Black Blade" for Xena, Warrior Princess ;-)
I admit, I've seen the show a couple of times (exactly two). Now, a
Moorcock storyline might make for some Xena episodes I wouldn't want to
miss!

This is hard enough with BOC. I can't imagine trying this with HW....
