Live AOR Albums Of The 1980s
AOR or Adult Oriented Rock developed in the 1970s as a way to commercialise progressive rock and hard rock to get played on radio and to achieve financial success.
It’s catchy, melodic and often with vocal harmonies but it is also formulaic and can often be soulless. Bands like Boston, Foreigner, Toto have been very popular.
In the UK, the publishers of the Classic Rock magazine have developed two spin-off magazines, one for prog and the other for AOR.
