Det er jeg overhovedet heller ikke - men Copilot mener at:

AOR betyder Album‑Oriented Rock.

Det er en stil fra især slut 70’erne og 80’erne, kendetegnet ved:

- melodisk, poleret rock
- stærk fokus på hele albumoplevelsen
- radiovenlige, velproducerede sange
- store vokalharmonier og guitarhooks

Typiske AOR‑navne:
Journey, Toto, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon.

Jeg troede egentlig at det stod for 'Adult Oriented Rock'

Adult Oriented Rock (AOR) is a highly polished, radio-friendly rock subgenre. Emerging in the late 1970s and 80s, it combines pop hooks, progressive rock ambition, and slick production. It is known for lush synthesizer arrangements, soaring vocal harmonies, and epic power ballads.The term "AOR" is frequently used interchangeably with "Album Oriented Rock," a 1970s US FM radio format that played deep cuts alongside hits. However, as a musical style, Adult Oriented Rock is entirely defined by its smooth, commercial, and melodic sound.

Men så må man så finde ud af hvad 'Deep Cuts' betyder....
