Because AOR is 'niche' and most at Classic Rock apart from messrs Barton and Ling couldn't care less. We're not hip and trendy , featuring bands that regularly appear in the pages of the main mag. I think it's pretty self explanitory how AOR is percieved these days , consideing the AOR issues have been put on the back burner for whatever reason. We'll do what we always do ....carry on regardless ....with or without the associations.
