For over five decades, Blue Oyster Cult has been thrilling fans of intelligent hard rock worldwide with powerful albums loaded with classic songs. Indeed, the Long Island, NY–based band is revered within the hard rock and heavy metal scene for its pioneering work. Blue Oyster Cult occupies a unique place in rock history because it’s one of very few hard rock/heavy metal bands to earn both genuine mainstream critical acclaim as well as commercial success. The band is often cited as a major influence by other acts such as Metallica, and BÖC was listed in VH1’s countdown of the greatest hard rock bands of all time.
Upon the release of BÖC’s self-‐titled debut album in 1972, the band was praised for its catchy-‐yet-‐heavy music and lyrics that could be provocative, terrifying, funny or ambiguous, often all in the same song. BÖC’s canon includes three stone-‐cold classic songs that will waft through the cosmos long after the sun has burned out: The truly haunting “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” from 1976’s Agents of Fortune, the pummeling “Godzilla” from 1977’s Spectres and the hypnotically melodic “Burnin’ for You” from1981’s Fire of Unknown Origin. Other notable BÖC songs include “Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll,” “Then Came the Last Days of May,” “I Love the Night,” “In Thee,””Veteran of the Psychic Wars,” “Dominance and Submission,” “Astronomy,” “Black Blade” and “Shooting Shark.”

If ever the term “music business royalty” applies, it is custom made for WILSON PHILLIPS. Literally born into the music business, Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson, and Chynna Phillips were born with vocal harmonies in their DNA. Carnie and Wendy are the daughters of Beach Boy legend Brian Wilson, and Chynna is the daughter of the equally notorious Michelle and John Phillips of the famed Mamas and Papas.
Friends since birth, Carnie and Chynna knew each other even before Wendy was born. Best friends growing up, the three of them would often share their love for music and specifically for vocal harmonies. In 1989 they were signed to SBK Records, and their debut album was released in 1990.
Their debut album had three number one singles HOLD ON, RELEASE ME, and IMPULSIVE. And it sold five million copies in the US alone. Their debut album was nominated for four Grammy awards. Their follow up album, released in 1992, had their fourth number one single YOU’RE IN LOVE. They have sold over ten million albums worldwide over their storied career becoming one of the best-selling female groups in recorded music history.
