Hard Rock Sleaze Glam AOR HEAVY
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.
The third album from AOR/Yacht Rock artist Page 99 where they explore the growing sounds of early 80s style music production. This is no imitation, but rather an album produced in every way in the model of the great early 80s music studios and producers.

OK. This is a site specialized in rock ‘n roll, but we can’t deny there’s many good and interesting music from related genres. There was a time when pop music was colorful, flamboyant and full of character; the ’80s. Actually, our beloved genres such as AOR and Westcoast crossed the thin line between rock and pop in many occasions.
Eighties pop delivered several talented artists in the genre, one of them being the British, Bristol-born NIK KERSHAW.

Not to be confused with the Steve Overland side-band of the same name, this THE LADDER was an American mid-80s studio project put together by keyboard player Joe Parente with his producer brother Lou. Atlantic / ATCO signed them and released their one and only self-titled album in 1986.
“The Ladder” features an awesome collection of killer rockin’ AOR / Melodic Rock tunes with a first class production. One of the most overlooked yet best albums from these beloved genres during the ’80s. There’s excellent choruses, sophisticated guitars, tons of synths / keyboards and bombastic drums courtesy of Joe Franco (Fiona, Twisted Sister, Chilliwack). ALL songs are great, believe us.
So it’s not a surprise Rock Candy
