AB,
That's a tough call!  I see you didn't mention 'Dominance.'  I guess
it's a toss up between that and 'Stairway' for my fave BOC tune.  As
for visceral cult impact, I'd go with 'Tyranny and Mvtation,' but for
a true glimpse into the group's creativity, I'd pick 'Treaties.'
Hard to find better rock material anywhere to compete with
'Telepaths/Astronomy,' as devastating a one-two puch as exists in
rock.  Really, I consider the first three records as perfect gems,
wheras I can find flaws in all the other BOC albums...
