Bad Channels is the soundtrack album of the science fiction spoof film of the same name, released in 1992. It features ten songs by the bands Blue Öyster Cult, Joker, Fair Game (with Ron Keel), Sykotik Sinfoney and DMT and a film score written and performed by Blue Öyster Cult.

Critical reception

AllMusic said: "There's a lot of music here [...] but little of it is memorable."[1] Louder Sound called the album "a grotesque mistake from Blue Öyster Cult."[2]
