Lately, it's MOR. What does this mean? I saw it recently used on here describing Fleetwood Mac...

MOR: Middle Of the Road

"Middle of the road or MOR is a broad term encompassing a number of musical styles. Not technically a genre in its own right, it was, and in some places still is, a popular radio format. Music classed as MOR is broadly popular in outlook, but not cutting edge; it is generally strongly melodic and frequently uses vocal harmony techniques and arrangements involving orchestral instruments.

Some musical styles frequently included under the general heading of "middle of the road" include:

Easy listening
Traditional pop music of the pre-rock & roll era, or later recordings imitative of that style
Orchestral ballads
Songs from musical theater
Light jazz
Any music with a nostalgic feel.
MOR should not be confused with AOR (Adult Oriented Rock)."


'light jazz' *shudder*

CHiPs always used to irritate me.

NAMBLA.

Too funny.

I guess Dave Matthews is the current king of either. He's probably more MOR than AOR, as he doesn't really rock.

Freedom is indivisible. The liberation of children, women, boy-lovers, and homosexuals in general, can occur only as complementary facets of the same dream.   -- David Thorstad

umm, you might want to choose your words more carefully. eep.

Er, Yeh.

They want to "protect" young people from "dirty old men" (I, incidentally, am speaking as a "dirty [gay] old man" - something I take as a positive goal), but in reality are protecting them from themselves. They support criminalization of young people's sexuality, especially if it involves sex with an adult man. They condemn any adult who helps a young person to explore his or her sexuality.

Anyone else remember when this woman on NPR got NCAA and NAACP mixed up? She even got fired for it if my memory does still exist.
