Great song.  Catchy, great break, great guitar work.  And I pretty much change the station whenever it comes on because I can't stand it anymore.  It's like classic rock stations only have one BOC song and refuse to play anything else.  Give me "City's on Flame with Rock and Roll".  Heck, even "Godzilla" just because it's such a fun song.

Much more of a "Burnin' For You" man myself, but do like the interlude/solo a lot.

Now that you mention it, I probably haven't heard this song in at least 5 years.  But you're right, that solo is  :metal, absolutely great

Great song, in all facets. I wonder how much more attention SNL brought it, as it is a huge classic rock radio staple, and one of those songs that is so ubiquitous my rock-hating wife probably knows the chorus.

I love how this song is used in the opening credits of "The Stand" miniseries.

I actually wrote a short story inspired by this song. So yes, I love it. Though I'm pretty ashamed because I know exactly 0 BOC songs apart from this one.

Was a big fan of this song long before SNL skits.  One of those Tier-2 classic rock songs that is just all out fun and awesome.

It's kind of a shame that (Don't Fear) The Reaper became what BOC was known for, since it really wasn't representative of what the band did as a whole, and the band spent a lot of time trying to catch the lightning in a bottle that the song was after that. It's a classic song, with one of the best guitar solos in rock history, but BOC had a lot more to offer than that. For the longest time, the only version of it I owned was the one on Extraterrestial Live, which ends with an amazing solo by Buck Dharma-in fact he was on fucking FIRE that tour-so that's the one I go to when I have an urge to hear that song.

Astronomy. :D The original version off Secret Treaties is god-tier awesome. The remake on Imaginos is okay, but I love the original to bits.

I'm only really familiar with BOC's hits, but Don't Fear the Reaper is a wonderful tune.  I hate the radio edit that does away with the awesome interlude, though.

BOC is such a cool band, very underated.  This is one of the defining classic rock songs; would just fall behind Burnin for You and Take Me Away as my favorite BOC.

Head East - Never Been Any Reason

Anyone who has listened to classic rock radio has to know this song.  It is, or at least it was for a long time, a classic rock staple.  Helluva fun tune, with some great harmonies and one of the more memorably choruses from the mid 70s.  When I was first getting into classic rock, this song was one I heard all of the time and always loved.

Actually, Flat As A Pancake is one of those hidden gems of an album. Songs like Jefftown Creek, etc.

It's too bad they really never went anywhere

Great song.  Nice harmonies in the chorus, and nice MiniMoog work by the keyboard player.

While this song may have been a classic rock staple in other markets...it wasn't here, apparently.  :lol A quick play of it on Spotify reminded me of the song, but, lord, I've not heard it since I was in high school. Definitely a 70s styled rocker, to be sure, but it didn't get a lot of airplay on the radio here when I was growing up.

Jackson Browne - Running on Empty

I don't know about the rest of you, but it is impossible for me to hear this song without thinking of Forrest Gump.  Granted, this was already a very popular classic rock tune for years, but the way it was featured in the movie just made it an easy association.  Helluva good tune, either way.
Anytime I hear anything by Jackson Brown, it makes me think of Jennifer Jason Leigh being deflowered in a dugout. Just a long standing mental association. Couldn't even remember which song it was.

Wait... what?  I always thought that it was a duet between a guy and a girl.

Edit:

From the band's official web site FAQ:

Who is the female singer heard sharing the lead vocals on Never Been Any Reason?

Answer:  Though Head East had a few female vocalists in the early 70s, all had left the band by the time Never Been Any Reason was recorded in 1974. And no female vocalists were brought in to sing on this song or any of the other songs on the Flat As A Pancake album. The two lead voices that share lines back and forth during the song are drummer Steve Huston and lead vocalist John Schlitt. John's is the higher voice that is occasionally mistaken by fans to be a female voice.
