Blue Öyster Cult's "Godzilla" was inspired by the original 1954 film of the same name that became a generational anthem and concert staple.

A 1976 hit was named one of the greatest guitar solos of all time and it still rocks to this day.

Blue Oyster Cult has released some indelible hits during its 53 years of recording — notably “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper,” “Godzilla” and “Burnin’ For You.” But that’s only part of the band’s story.
