Psychedelia, progressive, post-hardcore, ambient, post-rock, noise-rock, shoegaze, slowcore, stoner....all AOR? Since they are adult-oriented, should we call them AOR?

But what does it mean for music to be aimed at an audience over 20 years old? Because, is Jazz aimed at teenagers??? Music oriented towards adults basically means everything.

This is the definition from Wikipedia, which fits perfectly with the bands it later mentions as AOR. And in the next line, it lists the genres related to AOR: hard rock, heavy metal, pop rock, soft rock, hair metal, pop metal, pomp rock, symphonic rock, arena rock, classic metal. In fact, this is a definition that perfectly suits cold and useless bands like Toto, Journey, and similar ones. Not Pink Floyd! And even less so for Atom Heart Mother. Since you read that Wikipedia page, you should have noticed that Pink Floyd is not mentioned at all.

Cliff Jones is clearly using the term AOR incorrectly. Notoriously, AOR is a genre that includes bands like Boston, Journey, Foreigner, Styx, Kansas, Angel, Toto, Survivor, and REO Speedwagon. In short, it's a kind of radio-friendly rock/hard rock/pomp rock that is very popular with the average American audience and derives from the so-called Arena Rock. This is light-years away from Pink Floyd, especially when referring to Atom Heart Mother. Besides, "Adult-oriented rock" is a horrendous definition, as it implies that adults listen to only that music... it's enough to make you pull your hair out...

"Have the decency to be quiet"??? And why? Because you don’t agree with him?? Unregistered user, have you ever heard the phrase: "I disagree with what you say, but I would defend to the death your right to say it"? Or do you prefer dictatorship?

No, you might retort, but saying "I've listened to many more records than you" assumes that you know how many he has listened to. Can I point out bullshit when I see it?

"Dear paloz... I've listened to many more records than you... don't worry." Sorry, but WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW about how many records paloz has listened to? How can you be so sure? Anyway, on Revolver there are some incredible tracks, "Taxman," "She Said She Said," "And Your Bird Can Sing," "I'm Only Sleeping," "For No One," "Doctor Robert," but also a few mediocre ones like the annoying "Yellow Submarine" and "I Want to Tell You;" not to mention some more McCartney-esque pieces, "Good Day Sunshine" and "Got to Get You Into My Life," which are a bit mannered and pale in comparison to the other gems. Special mention for "Eleanor Rigby," stunning. The Beatles' album of maturity, but in my opinion, it's overrated by too many people... despite that, I think a 5 is warranted, given that we're faced with a classic...
