What is aor?

AOR, or Adult Oriented Rock, is a genre of rock music that emerged in the 1970s and 1980s. It is characterized by a smooth, melodic sound with a focus on vocal harmonies and polished production. AOR was popularized by bands such as Journey, Toto, and Foreigner.

AOR often features catchy hooks and lyrics with themes of love, relationships, and self-discovery. The music is usually radio-friendly and appeals to a wide audience, making it a commercial success.

While AOR reached its peak of popularity in the 1980s, it continues to have a dedicated fan base today. Many classic AOR bands are still active and touring, and new artists continue to be influenced by the genre's sound and style.
