And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Re: Yacht Rock
I wasn't aware Yacht Rock was a thing until one of my favorite podcasts brought it up. He actually convinced Sonny Ledford (he of Myrtle Beach Myrtle Beach Goddammotherfucking Myrtle Beach fame) to do a full show in his Yacht Rock alter ego persona.
Anyways, I apologize for possible diverting attention away from the Great Pruitting of twentyaughtsixteen, but.. A question:
Warren Zevon?

Not in this adipose semite's opinion. He has some pissed off lyrics that are anything but fun and breezy (Exciteable Boy). If you want to put Werewolves in there, fine. But it does mention ripping someone's lungs out.Nonlinear FC wrote:I wasn't aware Yacht Rock was a thing until one of my favorite podcasts brought it up.

A more interesting case would be Jimmy Buffett. Right era, generally the right subject matter, generally the right mood. Not that they're the ultimate arbiter, but I'm pretty sure Sirius/XM rarely (if ever?) includes him on their Yacht Rock channel. For no easily explainable reason, I say no. Though if something like Come Monday was someone else's song it would almost certainly work...

Re: Yacht Rock
In my defense... I clearly stated I'm not quite sure what the genre really entails AND the link to the Steve Forberg stuff sure has a lot of Warren Zevon influence.

Re: Yacht Rock
Yeah, I think of Yacht Rock as anything from that mid-late 70s to early 80s period of pussified (redundant?), blue-eyed soul. Almost always sung in a falsetto or naturally high voice.
Totally Kafkaesque
Re: Yacht Rock
Joe Jackson's "Steppin Out" is included on my before mentioned Yacht Rock box set.
Always thought of him as more New Wave. I guess it could be listened to on a yacht, you know as you do lines with some hottie with huge hair those weird high hipped bikinis.

to quote Yacht Rock maybe episode 10 or 11 wrt Buffett:
"it's mellow, but not smooth. mostly shitty."
i concur.

Re: Yacht Rock
I will venture to say that I am the Swamper who has spent the most time on yachts, and I can state without a doubt that I've never heard any of these musicians while on a yacht.

Okay, now I understand how a Bruce Hornsby fan would get upset when an artist he likes gets dumped in with shlock like Kenny Loggins.Giff wrote:So, not Teddy Pendegrass?
Teddy Pendergrass is soul.
Hootie and the Blowfish are Yacht Rock.

Re: Yacht Rock
So I've been thinking a lot for some reason about the Mount Rushmore of yacht rock.
Here's my opinion.
Michael McDonald(obvs)
Kenny Loggins
Christopher Cross
Rupert Holmes (who I hate but I gotta be realistic)
I'll more or less not argue the first three guys.

Re: Yacht Rock
Is Air Supply/Reo/Boston, or at least the soft 80s version of them, not Yacht Rock? I'd give the 4th spot as some combined tribute to that stuff (but the face is still Toto).

Yacht Rock on S/XM is touting a new Barbara Streisand channel. Is this the end of Yacht Rock radio?
I don't think Boston can be considered 'Yacht Rock', as bad as the song Amanda was. Songs like More than a Feeling are just too accomplished to wear the boat captain's hat.Ryan wrote:Is Air Supply/Reo/Boston, or at least the soft 80s version of them, not Yacht Rock?

It's on Channel 714 now. Some newer cars/radios might get that. I don't unfortunately. But should be available for internet radio enjoyment year-round.
