The Blue Oyster Cult was one of the top Hard Rock/Heavy Metal bands in the 70s. As much of their music was based on more science fiction and literary references than their peers, they were called by some as “the thinking man’s Heavy Metal band”. Simultaneously, they were able to generate some radio-friendly songs that were able to expose them to additional audiences that other Hard Rock/Metal bands couldn’t generate. Metal bands are not the most beloved genre in the Hall, but as an American group, they may possibly squeak in over some of their British counterparts should the Hall want to induct another “headbanging” band.
