Well, e.g. Rumors the album is "Classic Rock" now. During that short (or "short", doesn't matter anymore) period, Rumors was an archetype of Adult Oriented Rock. Edited by Svetonio - July 01 2014 at 05:05 |

Of course it bloody matters. Language is the means of conveying information that is understood by the people you are talking too. If you are using a different definition of the words you use to everyone else then no one will understand you. If no one understands you then no one will ever agree with you. Rumors was typical of Adult Oriented Rock, but AOR today, for the rest of the world except Svetonio, means Album Oriented Rock as typified by Asia, Boston, Foreigner, Journey, Survivor and Toto - NOT Fleetwood Mac. Adult Oriented Rock is an archaic term - used for a brief period in the UK it back in the late 1970s and no one (except you) uses it now. It is not the subject of this poll.

I'm sorry you weren't living in the UK or USA in the 1970s - it's not my fault and I cannot change that. I'm also sorry that your interpretation of received knowledge does not agree with the personal experiences of those who were - again, this is not my fault and I cannot change that. All I can do is politely point out that you are talking about a completely different subject to everyone else. I'm sorry that this does not make you a maverick or an enlightened being, it just makes you look odd (and not in a good way).

^ LOL call me crazy but I refuse to accept so stupid thing that e.g. Nazareth was / is Adult Oriented Rock, and Fleetwood Mac wasn't - only because somebody like you say so at internet.

Just wondering, is there any type of rock that isn't adult oriented? I can only think of the US kiddy metal bands that seem to proliferate on Kerrang TV these days.

Ignorance is bliss it seems. In the derisible field of Disco Donna Summer stood out as being a cut above the rest. Early in her career she sang in prog rock band and has, as we all know, covered Jon & Vangelis' State Of Independance and an 18 minute cover of Jimmy Webb's MacArthur Park. Most of her albums were concept albums and many tracks ran for considerably longer than the standard 3 minute mark. Steven Wilson is a big fan and influenced his early recordings with No-Man. During the Berlin sessions with David Bowie, Eno said of I Feel Love "I have heard the sound of the future... This is it, look no further. This single is going to change the sound of club music for the next fifteen years." Scoff all you like, it doesn't change the fact that:
