  • There are so many really great AOR albums that it's difficult to choose a favorite. So I've put together a list of my top 100. 100-11, are really in no particular order, but 10-1 are my favorites from my favorites!

      Not much you didn't grace that doesn't deserve to be on any aor best of the best lists. We met briefly when Signal played the UK and you signed the front cover of Boulevard magazine that featured you on the cover. Will carry the memories of seeing the bands and the music forever. It keeps my head straight when times are tough. We are a blessed community

    I didn't see if it made the list but another great Canadian artist from that era and in that style is Paul Laine's "Stick It In Your Ear." Dorianna, Is it Love and We are the Young are stand-out tracks.

    Top 5: 5) Journey "Raised..." 4) Phil Collins "No jackets...", 3) Russ Ballards "The fire still..." 2) Strangeways "Native..." 1) Outside Edge "More Edge". Great top 100. Hope tosee more tops, greetings friends!

    Starship - Knee Deep in the Hoopla
    Bryan Adams - Reckless

    My favourite AOR album is Mood Swings by the Canadian AOR band Harem Scarem. Apart from Journey, Survivor and Reo Speedwagon everybody over here in Northern Ireland that I know have never heard of most of the AOR bands I love eg Harem Scarem, W.E.T, House Of Lords, Pride Of Lions etc. Heck all my friends haven't even heard of the Rock genre, AOR. As well as that I found a W.E.T album in the HEAVY METAL (?) section in the Belfast HMV store a few months ago. If it wasn't for the internet and TH-cam in particular I would still be thinking that I'm living in a parallel universe where I'm the only AOR fan in existence.

    No female fronted albums here? maybe just a couple! no Bad English? Michael Bolton's Soul Provider, no Jeff Scott Soto in any of their many project related to AOR like Takara!.
    Is a good selection but there are a lot of recordings that many of us love and isn't here.

    TNT's Knights of the New Thunder is aor? Might as well consider Iron Maiden,Judas Priest,etc..aor too ha..I guess for some newcomers anything that's not thrash metal or black metal or beard metal etc,is aor lol

    • @MelodicEntity
      @MelodicEntity  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don't consider TNT AOR. Maybe a hard melodic rock. It's actually not on the list, but rather on the (generic) thumbnail that I used for it. 🤷‍♂️

    • @Neon-Covenanter
      @Neon-Covenanter ปีที่แล้ว

      As far as more metallic AOR, Judas Priest's *Turbo* album was meant to be Twin Turbos, so you'll find bits and pieces in modern re-releases of other albums. My favorites are Fire Down Below, Turn On Your Light, and Thunder Road.
      Alcatrazz (featuring Graham Bonnet from Rainbow, along with being the jumping off point for Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai) had their '86 album *Dangerous Games*
