Album-oriented Rock

Album-Oriented Rock (AOR) is a radio-driven rock genre that emerged in the 1970s, emphasizing full album experiences over hit singles. Blending elements of progressive rock, hard rock, and melodic rock, AOR features polished production, memorable hooks, intricate instrumentation, and a balance between accessibility and artistic depth. Bands in this genre often incorporate atmospheric keyboards, soaring guitar solos, and strong vocal melodies, crafting songs that appeal to both mainstream audiences and dedicated rock fans. AOR remains influential, bridging classic rock, soft rock, and progressive music with a refined yet emotionally engaging sound.
