Re: Album Oriented Rock (AOR)--A dying radio format.

Hall and Oates.
I should have left a space between the letters and the "&" It won't happen again.

Re: Album Oriented Rock (AOR)--A dying radio format.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Blue Oyster Cult eventually inducted, as the credentials are certainly there.
As for The Replacements, I view them as I view The Call. Both were critically acclaimed bands with quality material, but for some reason the public--even AOR fans of the era--never seemed to fully embrace them even though both were not exactly flops on AOR radio, either. I was actually going to feature a track by The Replacements in a future Lost Tracks segment, but, what the heck? Here's a bonus. The Replacements--I'll Be You (1989) This track climbed to the top of Billboards Top Rock tracks in the Spring of '89. Why was this wasn't a correspondingly smash Pop hit, I'll never understand. This band's entire catalog is well worth checking out. The Replacements - I'll Be You - YouTube

Re: Album Oriented Rock (AOR)--A dying radio format.
Favorite Replacements song is Johnny's Gonna Die.
The Replacements- Johnny's gonna die - YouTube After the band's breakup Tommy Stinson fronted a group called Bash and Pop. Here's a sample. Bash & Pop - Friday Night (Is Killing Me) - YouTube

I'd throw Golden Earring into the mix. Love that group.

I love Westerberg's solo stuff, 14 Songs is one of my favorite albums.

Re: Album Oriented Rock (AOR)--A dying radio format.
It is a fantastic album, definitely one of my 'ten on a desert island' records.

I love the early BOC pre-hits. On Your Feet Or On Your Knees is a raging live record.

Re: Album Oriented Rock (AOR)--A dying radio format.
Good call. Another glaring omission.
They are mentioned in this article. Unwanted -- Dead or Alive: The Rock Hall’s Top 25 Snubs Quote:

OTOH, it's difficult to take any article seriously that suggests that Joan Jett And The Blackhearts are even remotely close to RRHOF material.

Daryl Hall's voice is a treasure. Never sang two refrains the same. Just great.
