Most of the radio I listened to in the 80's were FM stations focusing on AOR such as KFOG and KMEL (SF stations). So what's surprising to me is I've only heard of Asia and Journey from this list. Other than those two bands did the other bands on the lists get a lot of airplay on the east coast or something? 'Cause as far as I've heard thru the 80's they weren't playing them much if at all on the west coast.

Some interesting reviews of the albums and bands tho. Maybe I'll run across some of them some day and give them a listen.
