I wouldn't have anything considered Heavy Metal with me. Or Glam Metal. Can a substitute a Jazz and a New Age album?

Ahh, I see what you did there. You really do like Rush don't you?
You should have tried to get Grace Under Pressure or something under A.O.R. 'cause it is a little bit.

That's interesting, I never really saw B.O.C. as an A.O.R. band, more hard rock I suppose. Love your sig by the way.

Thanks. Honestly I was kind of at a loss trying to think of what "glam metal" (same as hair metal? I went with Van Halen just because you did), "hard rock" (not sure where this crosses the line into heavy metal) and "AOR" (album oriented rock? never really understood what that means) really mean. So I just shot from the hip, really.

Prog: Kayo Dot - Choirs of the EyeHeavy Metal: maudlin of the Well - Bath
Hard Rock: I've really never been sure as to what constitutes hard rock, so hard to say. Grunge: I consider Pixies grunge unlike most, so Doolittle A.O.R: Whatever has largest album booklet. Good for toilet paper. Glam Metal: See above.

Prog: King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
Heavy Metal: Manilla Road - Crystal Logic Hard Rock: never liked this term so I'm just gonna go with "rock'n'roll", in which case The Doors - Strange Days, if it's not 'hard' enough than any Hendrix. Don't like grunge or glam metal at all, and never understood what the hell A.O.R. is because to me most good music is album oriented.

only when they are used incorrectly. Heavy metal is a specific style of metal music and Agalloch don't really have anything to do with it
