If you forced me at gunpoint to name my favourite record it would be '('Don't fear) the reaper' by the Blue Oyster Cult. From the the album 'Agents of Fortune'
This also includes 'Tattoo vampire' and 'ETI'
Wall to wall guitars.
Fantastic. 
I also recommend' Cultosarus Ereuctus' by the same band.
"Don't fear the reaper" would definitely feature in my top ten and I'm pretty sure that it'll be played today now that you've reminded me. A pub/club in Southampton do lots of live music, I found out one week after the event that Blue Oyster Cult played there in June this year. I would have gone just to hear that track alone. The track also feaures at the start of the film "The Stand" (Stephen King) and whenever I hear it I associate it with the rook/crow sat on the fence post at the start of the film
Wouldn't be the Bassett Hotel , site of the original "Concord Club" (before it moved out to Stoneham) would it? I first saw Manfred Mann there waaaaaaaaay back when.
No, it's The Brook, at Portswood
