Well, now you all know what
the favourite songs of all times are of the editor of this site. Let me
know what you think about it and any comments are welcome to be posted
on the messageboard.
A few comments now from myself, you will be surprised about the number
one (KISS), but remember that this was a pure AOR song of the band that
was co-written by Michael Bolton who probably would have recorded it himself
if the guy hadn't turn out to be a wimp in the 90s.
I made up this top 100 AOR
songs of all times every year (since 1986 I believe) and that KISS song
has been on the number one position ever since it came out in 1989. It's
one of those songs that you never forget and I guess the title says it
all. Many AOR fans don't know this KISS song and think of KISS just a simple
rock'n'roll band. But in the 80s the band made a couple of beautiful AOR
songs (the Paul Stanley tracks) and one of them was "Forever", the best
semi-AOR ballad ever made in the music history. "Forever" reached the top
10 US Billboard charts 10 years ago.
O.K. KISS is a simple rockband,
but in the 80s they had an eye for good AOR songs, because besides "Forever"
also "Reason to live" (another big hitsingle) is a superb piece of AOR.
Nevertheless I could go on and talk about the rest of the bands/artists
in my top 100 AOR songslist, but I dare you to react on this list and add
your comments about this on my messageboard.
If you have got your own top
10 or something of AOR songs of all times, print it on the messageboard
and see the reaction on your list. Last note I would like to add here is
that in the next upcoming month there will also be placed my TOP 100 AOR
ALBUMS OF ALL TIMES, but more about that later. Hope to talk to any of
you soon through the messageboard about this list.
