I�m not familiar with the complete discographies of all bands but I�m pretty fond the the early Toto albums and Boston are pretty cool too. never liked Asia much though. I�d give me vote to Toto. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

These are all some of my favorite bands. My vote was for Journey, but AOR is definitely one of my favorite genres and I have the full discography of many of these bands. -------------

I like how this thread has stubbornly stayed in General Polls for almost a week. And apparently I can't vote in polls anywhere on this site. RAAAAAAAAAFFFFF! -------------  |

This is tough......but stuck with Journey. To me Captured is one of the greatest live albums issued in this group of bands. I'm a pretty big Toto fan too------------- US Festival '83 "Heavy Metal Sunday" Survivor.... |

Honestly, I'm not familiar with any of the bands on the list to cast a
vote, even though I have music from Asia, Boston, Journey,
and Foreigner. I do like the occasional AOR song but they're usually from newer bands: |

I have to say that I have all the albums by all those bands and I'm looking forward to the melodic Hard Rock/ AOR enters as a separate genre in MMA.
I like all the bands on the list and I regret not having been able to vote all (and add more). After careful consideration, I voted for Foreigner because they were no votes. -------------

For me, no poor bands here but these can rock and can also prog-out;
1) Saga
2) Journey
3) Toto

^That�s one hell of a great track...I actually have a couple of Boston vinyls in my collection, but never gave them many spins. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Based on their complete bodies of work, I'd have to pick Journey. The first Boston album though......  Heck, the 2nd Boston album was great too, and 3rd Stage/Walk On aren't bad.Styx is a favorite of mine too, though each album tends to have a cheesy 'What was DDY thinking when he wrote these lyrics' song.

1 other thing to note is 3rd stage could have went without the interludes
