Yacht Rock

[Yamaha Rider]

I actually like this song. Cross is an excellent guitar player, although you probably wouldn't know it.

Beato just interviewed him.
Ride Like The Wind is another gem.

Such an evocative record. Magic.

I did not even know there was such a category... where have I been?

'West Coast Sound'? AOR?
Same difference.

that guy is the smoothest character I ever heard

in case anyone skipped this-->

he's blessed and mostly true pieces in the song's story and he married the girl for 51 years^^^

I like that song too.

Like Disco, I avoided giving Yacht Rock a chance. But certain events like a dinner party or pool party, it was asked to be streamed. That genre of music turned out great as background music or to those into music some fun reminiscing. I now enjoy Yacht Rock (and disco) when the it’s the right time.

So what's the difference between 70s Soft Rock and Yacht Rock?

Womernz likes Yacht Rock.

The Tuna Colada song, for example.

So what's the difference between 70s Soft Rock and Yacht Rock?

Yacht Rock includes the early 80s too...?

 

[2 hit wonder]

Yes. Just calling it Yacht Rawk is enough.

Did you say Rot Rawk?

<<<< possibly
favorite vid of all time

Everything about Moonlight Feels Right defines the 70s vibe. The outfits, the chains, the early synth, the vibes player in an open-chest jumpsuit, the beret, the chuckle, all of it. I think the durmmer's outfit influenced Eddie Van Halen's later guitar designs. When you drove to this concert, you were in a carpeted van with blown-out Jensen Triaxial speakers and a sunset mural. It was a perfect time.
