EagleMoon Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 What's "AOR"? The dumbest subgenre ever: Album Oriented Rock But the bands categorized as such tend to be my thing 100%. I wouldn't necessarily call it a genre. Radio stations used to focus on album play rather than just hit singles. Mostly during the late 70s and 80s. To me, this was a time when you heard a lot of deep tracks off of albums. Much better than it is today. Unless were talking about Sirius XM, which is more far more AOR than most FM stations are now.That is what FM stations were for - playing songs you wouldn't hear on AM radio. FM rock music stations used to be called "underground music" when it started out in the late sixties. You're right, that is what they were originally, but not so much now. Most of the radio stations now play the top 20 hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like FM has become what AM was back in the days of transistor radios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yes, but how do you know what to look for on YouTube? Back then, all we had to do was listen. The stations would play the new music and introduce us to new bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a way, I think music is almost too accessible now. It's become cheap in the quality sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I know many people have discovered great music from the recommendations that YouTube offer, as have I, and on Spotify every band comes with a page of similar artists, and that is how I discovered Styx.

librarian Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I ate a can of baked beans, steamed broccoli, a rack of BBQ ribs, deep fried, and a can of coke. Now, I got a case of the farts... That combination could kill someone! Good God people be careful :outtahere: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 The pads of my fingers have become super sensitive and typing is painful. I have no idea what is causing it, but I notice that it is worse in the fingers that are arthritic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boots Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I ran into a pane of glass. I thought it was a door, but it was just a huge window. I broke my nose, and it took a whole day for the bleeding to stop completely. I didn't have time to see a doctor because it happened on the day I was writing an exam.

Lorraine Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) I ran into a pane of glass. I thought it was a door, but it was just a huge window. I broke my nose, and it took a whole day for the bleeding to stop completely. I didn't have time to see a doctor because it happened on the day I was writing an exam. FML Just make sure your nose is straight. You don't want it to heal crooked. It should heal on its own well enough without a doctor, but you should go to an Urgent Care Center or an Emergency Room to make sure there isn't some other damage.

Lost In Xanadu Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 My daughter is sick and it makes me sad. I hate when the kids get sick... really sick. She was running a 103 fever, coughing, dizzy... not the flu, the culture they did came back negative. She's just not herself, and I wish I could just take it from her and deal with it myself.

Rhyta Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Can I be sick of my boss??? I just had another surprise meeting with him last week and he's trying to get me suspended for 3 days without pay. Sorry if this is off topic but I am tired of feeling nervous all the time and just when I think things improve, I get the rug pulled out from under me again...so I alternate from mad to sad several times a week.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm like you - I'd rather take the suffering from someone and endure it myself rather than see another person whom I love - relative or friend - suffer. Hope she feels better fast, LIX. :hug2: Hugs for you and her. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
