question: Who was born first, Greg Lake from Emerson, Lake and Palmer, or Blue Öyster Cult's Eric Bloom?
answer: Eric Bloom
context: Title: Mirrors (Blue Öyster Cult album)
  Passage: Mirrors is the sixth studio album by Blue Öyster Cult, released in 1979.  "Mirrors" is the first Blue Öyster Cult album not produced by long-time producer and manager Sandy Pearlman.  The album is notable for a collaboration with British fantasy/science-fiction author Michael Moorcock, who co-wrote a song based on his novel "The Fireclown".  "The Great Sun Jester" is the first of several Moorcock co-writing credits with the band.
  Title: Eric Bloom
  Passage: Eric Bloom (born December 1, 1944) is an American singer, songwriter and musician.  He is best known as a vocalist, and "stun guitar" player for the long-running band Blue Öyster Cult, with work on over 20 albums.  Much of his lyrical content relates to his lifelong interest in science fiction.
  Title: Veteran of the Psychic Wars
  Passage: "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" is a song by the American hard rock band Blue Öyster Cult, written by Eric Bloom and British author Michael Moorcock (creator of Elric of Melniboné).  The song first appeared on the album "Fire of Unknown Origin" from 1981.  An extended version appears on the album "Extraterrestrial Live".  It also appears on the soundtrack of the 1981 animated film "Heavy Metal".
  Title: Imaginos
  Passage: Imaginos is the eleventh studio album by the American hard rock band Blue Öyster Cult (commonly shortened as BÖC).  It was released in 1988, and was their last recording with their original record label, CBS/Columbia Records.  The album took nearly eight years to complete and was originally intended to be the first in a trilogy of solo albums by Blue Öyster Cult drummer and songwriter Albert Bouchard.  Bouchard was fired in August 1981, and CBS rejected the album in 1984, but a re-worked version was eventually published as a product of the band.  Many musicians contributed to the project over this eight-year span, including Joe Satriani and Doors guitarist Robby Krieger, but some band members were barely involved in the recording process.  Thus, "Imaginos" is often considered more as a project of producer and lyricist Sandy Pearlman than as a true album of the band.
  Title: More Cowbell
  Passage: "More Cowbell" is a comedy sketch that aired on "Saturday Night Live" on April 8, 2000.  The sketch is presented as an episode of VH1's documentary series "Behind the Music" that fictionalizes the recording of the song "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" by Blue Öyster Cult.  The sketch featured guest host Christopher Walken as music producer ""The" Bruce Dickinson," and regular cast member Will Ferrell, who wrote the sketch with playwright Donnell Campbell, as fictional cowbell player Gene Frenkle, whose overzealous playing annoys his bandmates but pleases producer Dickinson.  The sketch also starred Chris Parnell as Eric Bloom, Jimmy Fallon as Albert Bouchard, Chris Kattan as Buck Dharma and Horatio Sanz as Joe Bouchard.
  Title: Wilmer &amp; the Dukes
  Passage: Wilmer and the Dukes (originally Wilmer Alexander Junior and the Dukes) were a United States R&B band in upstate New York in the 1960s.  Though they produced only a handful of singles and one album, they performed regularly, and had a dedicated following.  One reviewer said, "In Geneva, there were two kinds of kids.  Those who went to 'Wilmer' and those who didn't."  They are fondly remembered by many of the college alumni from that area, and their music continues to be played today.  They were also an influence on other rising musicians such as Eric Bloom, the lead singer of Blue Öyster Cult, and they may have been the inspiration for "Otis Day and the Knights", the 1960s fictional band in the 1978 movie "Animal House".
  Title: David Lucas (composer)
  Passage: David Lucas (born David Helfman April 21, 1937) is an American rock and roll composer, singer, and music producer.  He has written a number of commercial jingles, such as AT&T's "Reach Out and Touch Someone."  In 1981, he received a Clio Award for composing the music to Pepsi's "Catch That Pepsi Spirit."  As a record producer, he worked with many new artists such as Blue Öyster Cult.  On the 1976 Blue Öyster Cult song "Don't Fear the Reaper" which he co-produced, Lucas sang backup vocals and came up with the idea for using a cowbell, parodied by Christopher Walken in the "More cowbell" skit on "Saturday Night Live".  In June 2011, Lucas was inducted into Buffalo's Music Hall of Fame.
  Title: Black Blade (song)
  Passage: "Black Blade" is a song by American rock band Blue Öyster Cult.  The lyrics were written by Eric Bloom and British science fiction writer Michael Moorcock from the viewpoint of Elric, Moorcock's most famous character.  Elric wields a sentient, soul-sucking sword named Stormbringer.  Aside from a set of cryptic, blood-red runes on the blade, the sword is black, hence the name "Black Blade".  The music was jointly composed by Eric Bloom, lead singer of Blue Öyster Cult, and bass-player John Trivers.  The song was featured in the Blue Öyster Cult album "Cultösaurus Erectus."  When Bloom was asked how he got in touch with Moorcock for the song he claims, "I went out of my way to send him a Fan Boy letter.  He was living in England, and he came over to America, to meet with his publisher.  He said, “Let's get together.”  We got together, and bonded, and he started sending me lyrics.  That is how "Black Blade," "Veteran of Psychic Wars" and "Great Sun Jester" happened.
  Title: Blue Öyster Cult (album)
  Passage: Blue Öyster Cult is the eponymous debut studio album by the American hard rock band Blue Öyster Cult, released on January 16, 1972 by Columbia Records.  The album featured songs such as "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll", "Stairway to the Stars", and "Then Came the Last Days of May", all of which the band still plays regularly during its concerts.  Despite positive reviews, the album failed to chart for some time before finally cracking the "Billboard" 200 chart on May 20, 1972, peaking at No. 172.  Blue Öyster Cult toured with artists such as The Byrds, Alice Cooper and the Mahavishnu Orchestra to support the album.
