Blue Oyster Cult: 'Don't Fear The Reaper' - 70s Rock Classic

submitted by gwaan

1 decade 7 years 7 months ago

Classic 70's rock anthem used in the soundtrack to John Carpenter's Halloween - more here. (unfortunately the single version omits the amazing guitar solo - but it's still damn good!).

"More Cowbell"

You got it, youdiejoe. Great song, but I'll never be able to listen to it again without thinking "Bruce Dickinson needs more cowbell"

Forever this song will be known as "That Cowbell Song" in my head.
