June 21, 20187 yr I have it year-round on 311, but for those that don't, it's on Ch 70. Love me some Yacht Rock.
June 21, 20187 yr Yacht Rock is great but man they need to bolster their damn playlist. Lots of repetition.
June 23, 20187 yr What I like about these threads and others like it that it allows me to rediscover some tunes I'f totally forgot about.
June 24, 20187 yr I'm no Yacht Rock professional, but the latest Dawes album, Passwords, sounds like they're angling for some Yacht Rock radio airplay.
June 25, 20187 yr They play Gerry Rafferty way too much, and that results in an immediate channel change for me.
June 25, 20187 yr They play Gerry Rafferty way too much, and that results in an immediate channel change for me. Your hatred of awesome saxaphonery is noted.

I whisper this about War on Drugs sometimes, though it's probably blasphemy. Yacht rock doesn't have to be cheesy IMO
June 25, 20187 yr Saw a bar band cover this over the weekend. Great twin guitar leads where the sax is in the original
June 25, 20187 yr The fact that they play an abbreviated version of Baby Come Back, one of Yacht Rock's most important songs, is fucking unforgivable.
June 26, 20187 yr The fact that they play an abbreviated version of Baby Come Back, one of Yacht Rock's most important songs, is fucking unforgivable. That’s one of my gripes with Sat radio. Why play radio edits at all?
June 26, 20187 yr Love me some Yacht Rock but I've come to the conclusion that Rupert Holmes "Him" is unquestionably the worst song ever written. Edited June 26, 20187 yr by Cheeseweasel

June 26, 20187 yr Fuck yeah it is. How else would Yah-mo be there?If I have to hear Yah-mo be there one more time I’m gonna yah-mo burn this place to the ground.

I miss the old Dawes. One of the few millennial bands I stopped yelling at clouds to listen to. New Dawes sucks.

Yeah, they mix in some dogshit, like the aforementioned "Him", yah-mo-be there, and a handful of other bullshit songs that knock me off my smooth ride.

June 27, 20187 yr 12 hours ago, baboso said: I loathe his entire catalog. Y’all are nuts. Rupert is awesome. The song I cannot listen to (and they play way too often) is Into The Night by Benny Mardones.
June 28, 20187 yr I found myself humming a little ditty while working in the garage the other day, and I kept asking myself why. Then I realized I had been exposed to a few hours of Yacht Rock the previous few days so I had heard it 3-4 times.

June 29, 20187 yr My favorite part is when the 47 year old Mardones pitches his $11.00 Big Lots area rug through the 16 year old's window. "Young lady, take my hand and join me upon this filthy bath mat so that I may fuck you."

On some level, maybe, I can understand Baker Street grating on you after a while because it's overplayed. But you're going to change the channel on Right Down the Line? That's just wrong.
