how is Work of Art not AOR?

It's the very definition of AOR 

Also the best album in the list 

Yeah, you're spot on.

I thought I edited my OP to point that out before you posted.

I must not have saved it.

A very solid list, but I don't think I class any of those bands as AOR.

IMO, of course.

Well, my alcohol induced thread got the attention it deserved. 

Sorry guys.

Here's the question again with the answer highlighted, for those interested.

There is a huge connection with Heavy Harmonies in this clue, but I'd be surprised if anyone can manage off the top of their head to find it.

Okay,

I'm day 2 into a long weekend and I'm bored already, so I've come up with this shit.

We can look up anything, anytime on the internet and that's great, but it makes any type of "quiz" redundant. 

Unless, it's a cryptic quiz. 

Cryptic crossword puzzles are the best. Before you can answer the clue, you have to figure out what the clue is.

There are many methods used to encrypt the answer. 

I'll post some when they come to mind and I invite everyone to do the same.

Just a bit of fun.

I'll start with one example...

What in the fuck is that name? A Neverending John's Dream? Are you fucked?!! I mean, I'll give it a listen--Pride & Joy usually have good releases--but fuck that name!

I thought exactly the same thing.

"The Show Must Go On".

A magnificent track.

The original by Queen is beyond KILLER, but I just discovered today that Australia's sweetheart, Delta Goodrem has covered it.

It's a worthy tribute. 

The best cover that nearly surpasses the original is the EPIC version by JSS.

Of course, the fap value of Delta has to be taken in to account, so it's a quandary.
