AOR Live Albums
AOR stands for Adult Oriented Rock.
It is a type of music that developed in the late seventies with bands like Boston, Foreigner, Journey and Toto.
These groups in the early seventies would have either played progressive rock or hard rock but a more marketable middle area developed.
AOR can be criticised for being formulaic and false because it’s lost any base in the original forms of music like the blues, country and folk.
But at the same time it’s very catchy, tuneful and turns into a guilty secret.
It may not be cool to like AOR groups and the live albums these groups produce but for a period in the late 1970s and early 1980s, they were very hard to resist and the bands continue to get a lot of radio play..
These live albums will be controversial. The AOR sound is toughened up in concert and loses some of its pristine smoothness. Some fans aren’t going to like that while others are going to find that it makes the songs more real and likeable.

Asia Live in Buffalo 1982
