AOR just means the album has good songs all the way through, no fillers, and no particular song is focused on to be a "hit". and it means album oriented rock, no adult.....

besteira, isso no inicio, era pra tocar musicas grandes que eram em formato lp, mas poucos anos depois simplesmente se tornou desculpa pra uma radio ficar tocando tocas as musicas do journey pra elas bombarem lá, e as charts serem tomadas do que a radio toca e nao do que as pessoas compram

AOR means Album Oriented Rock (in the UK often mistakenly called 'Adult Oriented Rock' - although it is indeed an adult format), also sometimes referred to as Classic Rock. This music category has its roots in the middle to late 60s. At that time the standard for radio stations were short songs (singles or 45rpm records). During this same time, the baby boom generation was coming of age. This audience which had grown up on Rock 'N' Roll tastes were developing more sophisticated tastes. They were buying 33 1/3rpm. Most of the artists listened to produced protest music, which served as the "anthems" for this coming of age generation. Top 40 radio stations did not touch these songs since they were considered to be "too long" and "too controversial" to fit in the format. The music soon became known as "underground".
