It may be interesting to see this genre description by RYM, as it should be relevant for a large part of the bands included in this series of polls:

"AOR, short for Adult Oriented Rock, is a sub-genre of Rock that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s as an amalgamation of Hard Rock, Pop Rock and Progressive Rock. It is characterized by a rich, layered sound, slick production and a heavy reliance on commercial melodic hooks, which led to its huge popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Adult-oriented rock is commonly conflated with but distinguished from the US "album-oriented rock" FM radio format, also called AOR, which played not only adult-oriented rock but also album tracks and "deep cuts" from a variety of other rock genres.

AOR songs are almost always electric guitar and synthesizer-driven, occasionally crossing over with other popular synth-driven genres such as Synthpop and New Wave, very often including harmonized vocals. The catchy, singalong choruses combined with relatively short song lengths and a bombastic, anthemic quality modeled after prog’s theatrical ambitions make AOR a very radio-friendly genre. The songs are typically more melodic than most straightforward hard rock, but harder edged than most pop rock, not unlike Power Pop‘s marriage of sugary harmonies and muscular, driving riffs."

I hope Overture wasn't too upset by Kansas due to being left so far behind.

Yes, but in your next poll, A Farewell To Kings is going to come up against Freedom At Point Zero, which may cause a melt-down of my remaining brain cells... Embarrassed

I really think you ought to remove Rush from this poll, to make it more even and interesting, Paul..? 
I don't see any reason to remove Rush. It's not as if they're running away with this poll. Tongue
