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.

Spider – Between the Lines 2011, Remaster
Rare gem, the kind of album you might grab on Record Store Day because you thought the cover art is silly – and a year later you’re still spinning it. This is a reissue of Spider’s first two albums. The first 10 songs (their first album) are brilliant! There’s heaps of energy, good songwriting, and the *amazing* voice of Amanda Blue. The band includes Anton Fig (now the drummer in David Letterman’s band) and Holly Knight (one of the top songwriters of the 1980s.) This was one of my favorite albums on vinyl and it holds up extremely well today.

01. Bad Motor Scooter
02. Thinking of You
03. Call My Name
04. Red
05. I’ve Done Everything For You
06. Heavy Metal
07. I’ll Fall In Love Again

Fleetwood Mac – Tango In The Night 2017, 3 CD, Deluxe Edition Remaster
Tango In The Night is FINALLY getting its due with a deluxe remaster on its thirtieth anniversary. This is one of my very favorite Fleetwood Mac albums. I was 9 when this album was released and I remember hearing the singles all over the radio. For previous Fleetwood Mac releases (excluding the 2004 remasters of The White Album, Rumours, and Tusk, which were only available in standard CD format), Rumours (2013), Tusk (2015), and Mirage (2016), I only purchased the “expanded” versions rather than the deluxe. For Tango I purchased the deluxe format because I wanted remastered copies of the original 12″ remixes from 1987 as well as the promotional videos and the DVD audio. I don’t currently own a record player but if I ever do, I now have the vinyl.
