Summary, Etc. Raised on Radio is the first full biography of the AOR (Album-Oriented Rock) era, tracing its rise and dominance from 1976 to 1986. Though dismissed by critics at the time, bands like Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Toto, and Heart sold millions of records and created enduring anthems that still resonate today. Blending behind-the-scenes stories with pop culture history, the book explores the excess, rivalries, and lasting influence of a genre that shaped power ballads and mainstream rock for generations.
