Been trying to review some of Alien's CDs. Got some AORs, a tiny bit of hard rock, but according to Heavy Harmonies, their latest album (Eternity) is "melodic rock". I'm not quite sure what that is. Apparently, Wikipedia seems to link AOR and melodic rock to "arena rock".
Gah, I'm such a n00b at music genres, but I've still got a lot to learn. So, can someone tell me what the difference between AOR and melodic rock is?
