Couple of news snippets.
Canadian songsmith "Jann Arden" has her new self-titled album released this week. Unfortunately it's Canada only at the moment (Grr) so anyone wanting it (Me) will have to either import it or go through Ebay. The album also includes a track with Sarah McLachlan.
Also 80s melodic rockers "FM" have regrouped (again) under (yet another) different name - this time they're known as "The Ladder" and the album is called "Future Miracles". It actually came out on the sly last November but no-one seems to have it, have heard it or seen any reviews anywhere  :o
Also (part 2) Pomp Rockers turned Irish Baladeers "Dare" have a live album and DVD released next month.
AOR - the only musical genre to be marginalised and berated more than prog  ::) :D
 You can find a lot of hot news, reviews and some other information at RockReport website(http://www.rockreport.be). Recommended for any fan of hard, heavy and prog genres.  ;)
Cheers, just had a quick browse, quite a good site ;D
[n00b]What does AOR stand for?[/n00b]
For anyone to answer, except Gelert :P
In the U.S., it stands for "Album Oriented Rock."
It's a rather outdated term, so far as I can tell. Some of these young whippersnappers don't even know what an "album" is.
 Can't agree with Kmorse. It just means "Adult Oriented Rock". Not for little child.  ;D
Yeah...either of the above really. Generally music like Journey, Foreigner, Asia, Styx, Boston etc... ;D
Bad English, Harem Scarem, Giant, Ten, 101 South and many more. ;D
Yeah, I've heard the term "Adult-oriented Rock," too. It could be either.
One way or another, good kind of music. :D
