When I was a kid in the ‘80s, album-oriented rock (AOR) sounded awesome on weekend mornings- and magical on the late night airwaves. Sometimes also called arena rock, most of these songs are so slick one needs a magnifying glass to find any traces of rock 'n roll. But the genre still survives at karaoke bars, weddings, and beer pong tournaments- and deep in the souls of the Gen X children it seduced. Here are some of my AOR favorites. Enjoy!
