As stated by others Boston is a very obvious omission.

ELO - A New World Record is also missing but because they are listed in PA as Crossover Prog. So does that mean they shouldn't be considered here? Also Alan Parsons Project are also Crosover prog here on PA and as this topic is posted under "other related music lounges" then APP should not be in this poll.

I call bullocks on this. Eye in the sky is more pop rock than AOR.

I went with Foreigner 4.  I am a big fan of all of these bands though and I am eagerly awaiting M@x to create AOR Archives.

Foreigner 4 is briliant. I went with this album.
 
Besides the usual suspects (Survivor, Journey, Heart, TOTO, Foreigner, Boston), there are a lot of interesting AOR artists/bands : Nexx (female-fornted band), Alyson Avenue (with current Nightwish vocalist), Danté Fox ('under suspicion", female-fronted), Rachel Rachel (all female band), Benny Mardones (ex-Hurricanes, with Jeff Porcaro on drums), David Pack (vocalist for Ambrosia, Jeff Porcaro on some tracks), Signal (Mark Free on vocals), Boulevard (short-lived AOR band), Alien, Life On Mars (female duo ŕ la Heart), Stingray (blend of Queen and Boston), JATO, Grzegorz Skawinski (vocalist/guitarist for Kombi), Zebra (Randy Jackson on vocals), Robby Valentine (strongly influenced by Queen and Kate Bush, just as his fellow countryman Valensia), Queen of Spades (Curt Cress on drums), O'Ryan (Curt Cress on drums)...

I would say Bad Company's debut album. It's so middle-of-the-road, it should have had a highway dividing line on the cover. It's so solid, it's like coal pressed into diamonds. I don't care for any of those you've listed.

First of all, you won't be considered as the person with the best/coolest taste on this site LOL
Second of all, you couldn't, or shouldn't, care less since no doubt you have a good time listening to all those albums Wink

Each of these albums has a great FM radio track or two, but I'd hate to have to sit thru the entire album.
 
Would Chicago be considered AOR?  If so, I'd take Chicago I thru VII over anything on that list.
 
 
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
