These soft rock / pop / jazz / whatever songs have been curated for yacht rock whether we like it or not. I always think of Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins, Little River Band and Pablo Cruise as prime examples, but more are getting lumped in to this category.

Just another example of how today's culture is ruining music. Just like how "classic rock radio" turned into garbage.

Electrophile Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I love yacht rock. Sorry, not sorry. Sometimes I want Achilles Last Stand, sometimes I want Baby Come Back. This is probably my favorite of the yacht rock/soft rock genre: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
