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.
At the end of September, Survivor released the album “Sucker Punch (Live 1986)”, which is now available for listening via our blog, among others.
