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.
Brothers Frank & Jan Achmann, who make up the AOR band Big Secret, released a self-titled album at the end of January, which contains songs recorded between 1988 and 1994. The album is now available via Spotify, among others. Here’s how to read it in a press release:
