Haha, the main point of contention for a thread like this is separating AOR from hair metal. As a result, there won't be any Ratt or Guns N' Roses or whatnot.
In any case, anything I post here is subjective: there are probably going to be loads of albums that people will think I should have mentioned that probably won't see a shred of recognition here.
Oh, and Q5 are awesome. Thanks for the recommendation Lee!
