Wondered if you ever got this magazine? It's a great read and you get to learn about some fine bands in it (well, I do: you probably know them already), plus you get a free CD (although at about 11 Euro for the mag it's not really free, but heigh ho...)
Bad Company are not classified as AOR, that's just me bending the genre boxes a bit, but I think they're the perfect example of where hard rock does meet AOR. Bad Company are classified as hard rock and Foreigner as AOR, I think both bands were very similiar but they have a different classification.

No I don't have that mag, but I'd sure as hell love to have it, how old is it? They have Toto on the front, as far as I'm concerned AOR's finest ever band.
