@@mrentilli AOR stands for Album-oriented rock is an American FM radio format focusing on album tracks by rock artists. AOR evolved from progressive rock radio in the mid-1970s, using research and formal programming to create an album rock format with greater commercial appeal. I found it on Google.

You've certainly got a solid list going on. All I would add is Show Me by The Pretenders (1984). But, other than that, you're set!

Agreed with "Rush Hour", "Breakout" (lead singer is gorgeous as well), "New Moon on Monday", "Trouble", "Everlasting Love" (maybe HJ best song), "Fortress Around Your Heart", "Lay Your Hands on Me" (TT best song), and "Electric Blue"...listen to the 12" version of this one...it makes the song even better.

Thanks, some of these songs I haven't heard since the 1980s. This really does bring me back to that age of absolute innocents.

Some of those even hit number one, but they were rarely heard thereafter. Jacob’s Ladder by Huey Lewis is a perfect example.
