Oh yes indeed, here you have him:

Thanks, checking samples...

Ok, thanks, then with no more delays here you have the 2013 B-side (A-side for Glen ): 07. W.E.T. - Walk Away 08. Charming Grace - Close Your Eyes 09. Santa Cruz - Aiming High 10. Vega - Skin Deep 11. Maxx Explosion - Can't Stop Falling 12. Richie Sambora - Every Road Leads Home To You BTW, notice how we started in the track 01 on a 'Road To Nowhere', while we finish knowing that 'Every Road Leads Home To You'; now that's positive progression, isn't it? Well, no more lists from me until 2017 is finished I'm afraid (though I have a partial list already). I don't have so much stuff on preceding years... So enjoy what you have!

Shhhhhhh, time will tell... s/b on the A-side mate LOL, BTW Vega's WTH! is from 2012 or 2013? Heavy Harmonies says 2012, then Wiki and other sites say 2013... WTH! http://www.heavyharmonies.com/cgi-bin/glamcd.cgi?BandNum=5711&CDName=What+The+Hell!

Well, Crazy Lixx enters like a Friday-13th psychokiller into the middle of my top 5, also Brother Firetribe has grown a bit on me, so bye bye Jim Jidhed (oh, damn!) Tokyo Motor Fist Eclipse Crazy Lixx One Desire Brother Firetribe

Haha, I thought all your commentary was shaping up to you hating this. Why?? All my comments in this thread (aside from slagging them off live ) have been very positive Yeah, it's clear he doesn't actually read full comments. It appears he glosses over and makes a judgment based on what he assumes the comments say. Anyway, I can't wait to hear this one. What? Why do you have sex with goats? Jeez mate, there's better things to do with your time than that. Like worshipping Allah, like you always talk about. Just stick to that because I like farm stock. Anyway, to clarify my comments to Glen - lol @ you going back and collecting all your comments - I don't have a memory, so I had your last three comments in mind, two of which indicated you were heading towards thinking this was heard-it-all-before, predictable and nothing they hadn't done before. If you look at it in the context of time, through my dazzling eyes, you will see that, as usual, I was on the ball. LOL

Shhhhhhh, time will tell...

Ladies and gentlemen: the 2013 Awesome Super Track List! 01. Find Me - Road To Nowhere 02. Laneslide - Flying High 03. Houston - I'm Coming Home 04. Place Vendome - Heaven Lost 05. Pretty Maids - Sad To See You Suffer 06. Niva - Just Another Heartache Desperate for B-Side? Stay tuned!

So do you think it will/is happening? I can't see why not. Even the current fashion with the ripped jeans is a throwback to the 80s AOR scene to my mind Yes, at a certain point; as Geoff said this is not the 'mainstream' anymore (being 'mainstream' what huge companies support and put their big bucks in, which is basically music for nowadays teens), but I can see other smaller-sized companies and bands re-uniting and trying to do this kind of music again. Time will tell if can be considered a truly Silver Age or just a limited revival.

When a Golden Age happens in some form of art always comes a Silver Age some generations after, when the young people who were just spectators in the Golden Age grow up and have the money, the power or both to be able to bring back the golden years. Teens at 80's now are 40's, so they've got the power, the money and the will to revive the style music they loved.

Pretty decent...

TMF Defiants Ted Poley Call it a "Defiants sandwich".

Quoted for truth.

Yep mate, is my total favorite from them. Absolutely love the bombastic awesome beginning, it always draws a smile on my face. My 2nd from Vega would be Kiss Of Life, and 3rd White Flag, which I've also included in my 2016 Track List above.

Finally, the B-Side for 2014: 7. Work Of Art - Can't Let Go 8. Brother Firetribe - For Better Or For Worse 9. Crazy Lixx - Outlaw 10. H.E.A.T - Eye For An Eye 11. Vega - The Fall 12. White Widdow - Thunder

Well, Heart, obviously.

And here is the first half for 2014: 01. Alien - In Love We Trust 02. Secret - Since I Fell For You 03. Miss Behaviour - Double Agent 04. Angels Or Kings - Ice Turned To Rain 05. Unisonic - When The Deed Is Done 06. Free Spirit - Fever B-Side of 2014 in few days...

I don't like much what I've listened of his first EPs (too mellow and excess of synth for my tastes), but 'Vanishings' is a very good AOR album. Hope he keeps on this line.

This:

That's typical Brother Firetribe. No, no no. Completely wrong. No way is Brother Tribe "proper AOR." Not a chance. They have a handful of really synth-driven tunes, but even those I'd still not call "AOR." Not to get into this horrific discussion and wishing to completely avoid it, but Brother Firetribe are "too hard" to be proper AOR. Ballsy band - melodic hard rock. What he says. To answer Cure's original question - yes, every song has keyboards in it, so if you dislike keyboards avoid like the plague. That said, they do have a pretty beefy sound....melodic hard rock is pushing it a bit, but I wouldn't call them wimpy AOR......... Well, this is why this category exists: it's not hard rock I agree, it's not AOR either, but something between, so it's melodic hard rock. The 'melodic' softens the 'hard' adjective, IMO that was the intention. Then BF fits exactly in it. However I admit the name is a bit confusing. Do you mean the Brother Firetribe name? Lol, no, that name is funny. The 'melodic hard rock' name for the genre.
