I don't care about politics, it's totally on.

I'll just make a decision based on what's currently happening. I may try different strategies for different rounds. I'm thinking maybe we could take a vote on the first one, and really any subsequent ones. I do want to mix it up a bit though, so I don't just want to go in order from most exciting to least exciting. That would start to slog towards the end.

EDIT: So we're keeping punk in the rock survivor?

Oh ****, really sorry Unknown. Here's his two lists:
I spoke with Anteater who has an even wider knowledge of AOR than me and he suggested 2 lists. The first which is here is 'an acclaimed' AOR list where the material is still relevant today and was provided by Anteater.
Work Of Art - In Progress
Harem Scarem - Mood Swings
Dakota - Runaway
Planet 3 - Music From The Planet
Strangeways - Native Sons
Rush - Moving Pictures
Journey - Frontiers
Shy - Shy
Eclipse - Bleed & Scream
Toto - The Seventh One
This is as classic AOR list that most will be more familiar with and expect, and was provided by myself and Anteater from its glory years of the late 70s and 1980s.
Styx - The Grand Illusion
Boston - Boston
Foreigner - 4
Journey - Escape
Survivor - Vital Signs
Mr. Mister - Welcome To The Real World
Toto - IV
Rush - Grace Under Pressure
Bad English - Bad English
REO Speedwagon - High Infedilty
Would somebody be interested in helping to create a bastard child of the three lists we have?

Let's see, for alt rock we'd have to find a replacement for The Replacements.
1. The Replacements - Tim
2. Weezer - Pinkerton
3. Big Star - 3rd
4. The Jam - All Mod Cons
5. Cheap Trick - At Budokan (replaced on the other list by Toto)
6. Todd Rundgren - Something / Anything?
7. Teenage Fanclub - Grand Prix
8. Squeeze - Argybargy
9. Badfinger - Straight Up
10. Sloan - Navy Blues

Seems to have consensus, so putting it up. Replacements replaced with Muse - Origin of Symmetry. And of course, Cheap Trick was replaced with Toto.
