Album-oriented rock (abbreviated AOR) is an American FM radio format focusing on album tracks by rock artists. AOR evolved from progressive rock radio in the mid-1970s, using research and formal programming to create an album rock format with greater commercial appeal.
As requested, this a real pleasure to be featured here: LAURA BRANIGAN’s debut album “Branigan”, “Remastered & Expanded Edition”, the Gold Legion Records CD (out of print now, and not available as digital download) release approved by Branigan’s progeny.

“Okay, so you think REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Survivor, you really think this music is old fashioned? Well, then you are old fashioned! Or maybe just old.
As requested, a not so often mentioned album among AOR circles despite of having the finest ’80s Canadian AOR pedigree: WHITE VISION‘s self-titled album “White Vision“.
Here’s in the very well done 2-disc bootleg of GIUFFRIA titled “Coffee Break Concert 1985 + More“, featuring two really good radio broadcast shows from their 1985 U.S. tour following the release of their self-titled debut album.
As requested, here’s the not easy to find TERRAPLANE (pre Thunder) double disc “We Survive: The Anthology“, featuring the band’s 1985 and 1987 albums, plus no less than 15 bonus tracks. Released in 2005, the 2-CD package features a nice 90s-type of remastering, and now has become expensive, with copies being sold for over U$D 100.
