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.

All the AOR I'd select would be from its glory years late 70s to mid 80s, anything post that would be in another battle if there were to be one, btw Anteater is kind of like the resident newer AOR expert around here and has loads of great modern day AOR recs, also Trollheart is pretty useful as well.
No I haven't heard Bat II but Meat Loaf should get in either a concept/opera cat or an arena one.
Overall the three talked about cats should be:
AOR- supplied by me
Arena- supplied by JC (could include some AOR like Boston and Journey etc as well and could certainly fit Def Leppard)
Concept/Opera- As one or two cats depends.
