Hello,
On this first Yacht Rock blog I'm starting off with the obscure Yacht Rock songs. In other words songs I don't know by title and artist. I may know the song once it starts playing. There are a few of those songs on this blog and there are a couple of other songs that I liked. But a lot of the other songs are dreck.
Thanks to Wikipedia.org for this yacht rock definition:
Yacht rock (originally known as the West Coast sound or adult-oriented rock) is a broad music style and aesthetic commonly associated with soft rock, one of the most commercially successful genres from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. Drawing on sources such as smooth soul, smooth jazz, R&B, and disco. Common stylistic traits include high-quality production, clean vocals, and a focus on light, catchy melodies. Its name, coined in 2005 by the makers of the online video series Yacht Rock, was derived from its association with the popular Southern Californian leisure activity of sailing.
I did the first one of these early January of this year. That was 20 Obscure Yacht Rock songs. I now have 6 blogs ready to go of the greatest Yacht Rock songs, this is Part 1 of Yacht Rock greatest hits.
