Your favorite AOR anthems (upbeat, anthemic, shoulda-been-on-Rocky 4 soundtrack)

Here's an obvious one we seem to have forgotten:

Good stuff, love that FM.
Here's Mike Slamer's group, Steelhouse Lane. Anything with Slamer is quality.

Slamer and Billy Greer of Kansas.

Also, Kenny Loggins:




And Cheaptrick's contribution to the Top Gun soundtrack too:


And this David Coverdale track off the end credits of Days of Thunder, co-penned by Coverdale, Bily Idol and Hans Zimmer:

Quote :

catchy ballad from the Elefante bros. They were known simply known as Elefante.

"Young And Innocent"

Duck and Horseman are lighting up this thread today...those songs are all damned good, and the only one I already knew was, of course, Danger Zone. That Cheap Trick song smokes! And that song from Scarface is great. I've never seen Scarface (never really been interested), but that song is great and the soundtrack looks pretty interesting...Elizabeth Daily songs? Awesome.

That Coverdale song is great too...I've never seen Days of Thunder, but that soundtrack looks pretty good too. Thanks guys.

Seems you've got some films to see then.

Remember this one?

You sure you're only 20?

Yes, I am, why?

I just don't know any 20 year olds as into this style as you seem to be. It's a compliment.

Ahh, I see. I do know some people my age who dig this stuff, but that's mostly the odd Survivor/Asia/Journey tune they heard on a radio station in a GTA game, most don't seem to bother much further than that.
Also met some people a bit older than me but still under 30 who seem to be really into this genre on the internet.

Anyway:

Here's one i'm surprised never showed up in a movie, at least that I know of.

Lou Gramm - Lost in the Shadows

Tina Turner - We Don't Need Another Hero

Cutting Crew - Life In A Dangerous Time

Dokken - Dream Warriors

Real Life - Send Me An Angel

Sammy Hagar - Heavy Metal

Most of the songs you posted aren't AOR at all...

I have to agree on the Greg Rollie song, that was cool. I didn't even know he did that style but it would fit in a move.... And while I have never seen "Stayin' Alive" I loved this song as a kid but thought it would have been better in a Rocky movie:

Really does make me think of Rocky.
