And suddenly I'm in 1985. Sounds really good.

I found this cassette (remember those?) in the dollar bin at Woolworth's way back when. It was an okay album. Back then there were many of these melodic rock bands - "AOR" wasn't a term back then but we knew them by what they sounded like.

This band has been around since 1987, from Sweden. They're on the harder side of AOR.
Lyrics are very cliché but good song-writing otherwise.

IF Tyketto are AOR - then I love, love them.

H.E.A.T - If they are I like a bit of them.

I just downloaded the album from this very AOR sounding band (keyboards and everything). Nestor - Stone Cold Eyes.

I just discovered this band called Winding Road. Like their label-mates Universe Infinity, they are a recent band (2018) but are comprised of veterans of the Swedish melodic rock scene.

Pretty good stuff, like a lot of AOR it's formulaic and it needs that something to really grab me but there's potential.

This German band popped up on my You Tube feed and this album is not bad:
