Blue Oyster Cult has been performing since the 1970s and is perhaps best known for the songs “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”, “Godzilla”, “Burnin ‘for You”. The band released a new album, “The Symbol Remains”, in October 2020. “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” reached new audiences in 2000 when Saturday Night Live parodied it into a skit in which Christopher Walken told Will Ferrell he needed more cowbell.
