I was wondering if anyone knows of any really good AOR that's slipped under the radar because it's sung in a foreign language? I remember going to Japan in 1999 and heard some really good melodic rock in a record shop, but hadn't a clue who it was.

Don't know if Jon Anderson ever sang any songs from "Drama" after rejoining Yes in '83.

I enjoyed the Yes "Union" tour in the round - definitely seemed more of an "event", and had a great view. The twitchy "spider leg" lighting rigs extending out from the centre of the stage were a bit scary though!

I like Episodes 3 & 4 where Steve Perry teaches Kenny Loggins how to rock :-)

Be great if anyone can help me on this. We're having an "Innovation and Creativity Week" at work, and in the background we thought it'd be fun to have motivational/ inspirational songs playing in the public areas. I've come up with this list off the top of my head, but I want to get as much AOR/Rock in there as possible! I'd be very grateful if you can come up with some songs - ca

As one of Andrew's sicophants (sic), and a donator, I'd also like to thank Andrew for the work he's put into the website over the years. Haven't really expressed it before, but when I think of my knowledge of melodic rock before I first started coming to mr.com around 2002, I'd laugh at my younger self in derision. Of course, it's cost me a fortune in CD's that I'd never otherwise know about,

I thought the Noticeboard was the first part of the upgrade, and that happened last year? Andrew kept the look and feel similar, but we didn't have all the picture attachments and other bells & whistles....

Very sad. Got his solo album years ago, and met him in the audience at a couple of gigs. Very friendly chap, and wasn't at all bitter about the success that eluded him.

I'd add Yes-90125 too. Wore 2 cassettes of that album out playing it all the way through....

Didn't Yes use Steven Soderbergh to direct 9012Live just after leaving college? I bet they didn't pay much for his services.....

Armageddon It..... The video's are amazing - like something from Deep Impact. It looks like the object was only a metre or 2 across though. The damage came from the hypersonic shockwave of hitting the atmosphere at 30,000kph

Apart from rock, there's quite a bit of 80's electropop, Mike Oldfield, and instrumental synthy new-age stuff (Vangelis, Kitaro, Mark Shreeve etc) in the collection.
