Looks like AOR to me...
I'd have to go with Journey... Foreigner a somewhat close second.

I went with Journey. But what is the meaning of "corporate band"?

That was a tough one. I chose Journey, they have longevity and their music stands the test of time better. Plus they have Steve Perry!! He rules!

Had to go with Styx......the OLD Styx, before Dennis DeYoung started singing the syrupy ballads.
I hated the term "corporate rock". It was coined by people who were insanely jealous that these bands were making truckloads of money at the time.
REO Speedwagon would be second on my list. They had some AWESOME live jams!

I didn't vote for Kansas because they don't belong on the list. Kansas was very technical and close to progressive. Corporate rock? Not in the least....therefore, not a viable choice.

I've seen Kansas live and they are technically sound! They would be my second choice behind Styx. I like the term Arena rock or Album rock better than corporate rock

If this were the 80s, I'd say Night Ranger and not think twice. But I also like Journey, Foreigner, and REO Speedwagon.
Geez, you made this tough! I'm going to go with nostalgia and say NR, with all the others in a tie for second place .1 percent behind them.
You'd like to think so, wouldn't you?

Journey. I wish I could have seen them play live back in the 80s (with Steve Perry), I hear they were awesome in concert.

Journey rules over the world (with steve perry of course). They have some of the most beautiful songs, like "separate ways".....
....."Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched
And went our separate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won’t desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched
And went our separate ways"....
very sad.... it reminds me someone.
