I like both but I do own a lot more Cult albums.

This isn't even a contest.

Nice work, Henry!

Do Boards Of Canada even have a logo? Probably think they don't need one.

Boards of Canada's logo is a face with no face on it. I like them better than the 'Cult, but not better than The Cult.

I'M FAMILIAR WITH BOC

Boards of Canada are okay but not great, "Telephasic Workshop" is the only really great tune by them I've heard. On the other hand, the only Blue Oyster Cult song I know is "Black Betty", which is nice, but still... I guess I gotta go with BoC.

So you've never heard "Fear the Reaper," then? Is Scandanavia really that much of a cultural vacuum?

"Black Betty"? By the Blue Oyster Cult? Or do you mean "Black Blade"?

No, I mean the song that goes, "Oooh, Black Betty and family..." Isn't it by BOC?

So you've never heard "Fear the Reaper," then? Is Scandanavia really that much of a cultural vacuum?

Nah, it's just me living in a vacuum considering rock music. I know this song title, but I don't think I've ever heard the actual song.

But do you know less about rock music than The Lex, is the question

Well, I did know The Kinks was some 80's rock band, unlike Lex.

xxpost: er, that's "Don't Fear the Reaper" actually. Anyway, Tuomas, if you are truly the last remaining human being not to have seen this actually-very-funny SNL skit, please do so without acting on whatever impulse you may have to repeat any phrases involving the word "cowbell."

Oh, I have seen that cowbell sketch, but I didn't know it was about "Don't Fear the Reaper". So I guess I have heard the tune after all! It's not as good as "Telephasic Workshop" though.

I'd question if there was a single SNL sketch that someone outside of the US should automatically be expected to have seen

not to digress to much here, but is SNL not on European television? I've spent quite a bit of time on that side of the Atlantic & I know that many Euro countries got The Simpsons, Seinfeld, Friends etc. as of the early 2000s. I guess I just assumed..

I vote for the umlaut.

(And I've never seen what's so damn funny about that cowbell sketch.)

BOC

Blue Oyster Cult is to the poseur BOC what Godzilla is to Tokyo

The Simpsons, Seinfeld, and Friends are indeed on Finnish television too. I think they tried to show SNL in here too at some point, but I don't think it was a success. Then again, I haven't owned a telly in 7 years, so I don't really know what's on these days.

i have to go with the Cult, but ppl are being a little negative on Boards of Canada they are pretty awesome too

not to digress to much here, but is SNL not on European television?

Not in the UK anyway

I think I might actually vote for the Boards in this one! I like the Blue Oyster Cult quite a bit though.

"Don't Fear the Reaper" is a pretty great song, but I'm giving this to Bs of C.

"Oooh, Black Betty and family..."

lol

the poseur BOC

Haha yeah those guys and a lens flash, it's a totally Pavlovian thing

See when I was young Blue Oyster Cult were known as the Cult, then that fool Astbury came along and took the name over so everyone had to call them BOC. Now that's been taken over too so wtf do we call them? The Oysters? Maybe I'll just start referring to them as Soft White Underbelly and sneer at anyone that doesn't immediately understand what I mean.

I've always wondered, does Blue Oyster Cult have anything to do with the Blue Oyster gay bar in the Police Academy movies?

Now that's been taken over too so wtf do we call them?

Gosh yes. Ask a Blue Oyster Cult fan if you don't believe it.

(xpost)

Well, what's the connection?

The Golden Age of Leather

I find it heartwarming that no-one's talking about Boards Of Canada.
Here's another Blue Oyster Cult pic :

They're all about 3 foot tall, so that photograph is not far off actual size

"Don't Fear the Reaper" is a pretty great song, but I'm giving this to Bs of C.

Both hilarious pictures, but in very different ways. I am more charmed by the former.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Nooooooooooooooooo... what is wrong with you people?!

I've seen some stupid poll results on this stupid site, but this takes the fucking cake.

yeah it really shouldn't have been that close

I wonder how many people who voted Boards of Canada have heard Secret Treaties? Anyone?
