5 Forgotten AOR Songs

This week Alan from Modern Musicology launches a new side-project! In this series of shows, I’ll tell stories behind some of the albums in my collection. This week, we’re talking about 5 Forgotten AOR Songs! These are tracks that got airplay on Album Oriented Rock radio stations back in the day but have mostly been left behind, frozen like a moment in time. 

You’ll hear about two men who walked away from bands at the height of their popularity, a band that was poised to be huge but never quite got there, a singer with a big voice who never quite found her audience, and a new band that maybe sounded a little too much like bigger, more established band. 

What’s your favorite forgotten song from the AOR era? Drop me a line at [email protected] or just leave a comment on our socials or whatever podcast platform you’re listening to us.

The second half of this episode was recorded live on stage at MarsCon 2026. My guest was comedy musician and TikTok star Ross Childs. Or rather, that’s what the plan was, when suddenly Vice President J.D. Vance arrived in his place. Being the seasoned professional I am, I forged ahead and took questions for VPJD from the MarsCon audience, including some coming from multiple past guests of this podcast. It got weird. And that’s saying a lot coming from me.

Since I wasn’t able to get any proper animation talk in the live podcast recording, I later recorded an additional half hour of on-topic talk at my home with our most frequent guest Tony Goldmark, as well as my girlfriend Kalani Mitchell. We started off talking about the Disney Afternoon soundtrack album and other music from their shows that we loved, and we did a quick review of Pixar’s “Hoppers”. So hopefully starting with that will balance out the mascara-laden rantings of the second most powerful, uh, person I suppose (?), in America.

This week we fire up the wayback machine with a review of all the Star Trek title sequences and theme songs! It’s a big nostalgia fest for us as we go right back to the very beginning and talk about every show intro in chronological order. Tonight we’ll be covering as many of the legacy shows as we can, because….

…first we will be talking about the just announced cancelation of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy!

This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 25 “Bounty,” now that Maria and Bill have watched it.  Plus, our guest from last week, Jarrah from the Women at Warp podcast, is back with us to talk about this episode, which seems to consist mostly of T’Pol writhing around on the ground and walls. We also discuss in depth every baffling part of this screencap of Trip’s bookshelf.

A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “What Happens in Decon Stays in Decon!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week.
