No I don't have that mag, but I'd sure as hell love to have it, how old is it? They have Toto on the front, as far as I'm concerned AOR's finest ever band.

Last May. Well, May 2011. Back issues available here
Music Magazine Subscriptions | My Favourite Magazines Edit: looks like it only goes back to issue 3, and that Toto one is issue 2 (Issue one was Journey). If you can't get it and really want it I can scan it for you. Might take a while but, let me know.

It dates back to the 70s as a radio format for FM stations that played Rock music. It was called album-orietned because the format of the radio stations to play album tracks, instead of singles that Top 40 stations played. It had nothing to do with the age of the listener the music was aimed at, that would be Adult Contemporary music.

Album Orientated Rock is the most correct label, as most AOR bands (the good ones) usually had album tracks just as good as the singles and at times even better, they would often get played on the radio, far more in the USA though than here in the UK.
