Have you heard Bat II? That's very AOR. It takes somewhat of a turn around from the first, and the third is kind of nu metal. Still, I agree that there are better representative albums of the genre. Hard to find better albums, but I'd say some albums I find worse than Bat 2 do a better job representing the scene, since it came late.
besides, I was kind of hoping I'd fit Hysteria in 80's arena rock. all of their music is born for the arena, not that that's a good or bad thing.
