First one to root for The Alan Parsons Project!! That band always had a soft spot for me.. And Ammonia Avenue is one of their bestest songs ever

EDIT: I just voted twice for Ammonia Avenue, you may wanna get that fixed LOL

Well if you don't know any other Alan Parsons Project album, any prog fan will love Tales Of Mystery And Imagination. The vinyl, as the cd has a bad remix of the album. Also, I Robot is a masterpiece and Pyramid is a great album.

Oh, and you could put Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra on this list. Lots of radio hits, LOTS of great songs (Standin' In The Rain, Big Wheels, Summer And Lightning, Believe Me Now, Steppin' Out, Mr. Blue Sky, and my favorite THE WHALE)

Same here, I've definitely heard songs from most of these bands, but no full albums.

Would Leftoverture or Argus qualify as AOR? Not too keen on what really makes a band AOR.

Probably not the whole Leftoverture album, but The Wall has some of the typical AOR qualities.

Don't forget "Try Anything Once" & "On Air" by Alan Parsons as well. Also if you can get your hands on a copy of "Freudiana" you should make the time to enjoy it.

Heart Dreamboat Annie or Little Queen, but not any of the ones in the poll. Dire Straits? ELO?
