This was the dominant commercial style of rock music for about ten years, starting in 1976 when Music/{{Boston}} released their first album and Music/PeterFrampton released ''Frampton Comes Alive!'' (the best-selling record of the year), and more or less ending in 1986 when Music/{{Journey|Band}} released their last album for ten years and Music/BonJovi's ''Slippery When Wet'' put HairMetal, the format's spiritual successor, on top of the mainstream rock pile at the same time AlternativeRock acts like Music/{{U2}}, Music/{{REM}}, Music/{{The Cure|Band}} and Music/{{INXS}} started to cross over onto the AOR stations that had been arena rock's bread and butter. HairMetal would serve as the SpiritualSuccessor to the genre for the next half-decade, inheriting the genre's penchant for glossy production, [[AudienceParticipationSong stadium-ready anthems]] and {{Power Ballad}}s. The alternative bands meanwhile would set the stage for the next sea change with Music/{{Nirvana}}'s ''Music/{{Nevermind}}'' in 1991.

Although {{rock}} groups had been filling some of the largest venues in the world since Music/TheBeatles played at Shea Stadium in the 1960s, this subgenre of rock music began to develop in the mid-1970s. Also known as adult-oriented rock (AOR, which is the term [[https://rateyourmusic.com/genre/AOR/ rateyourmusic.com]] uses to describe the genre) or album-oriented rock (also abbreviated AOR, which is the term [[https://heavyharmonies.com/cgi-bin/genre.cgi heavyharmonies.com]] uses to describe the genre) due to the genre's focus on albums rather than singles -- and by such other labels as pomp rock, melodic rock, anthem rock, teen rock, or stadium rock -- the main exponents of the style were pop-rock bands that wrote songs specifically to be performed in big stadiums in front of big audiences.
