I have it year-round on 311, but for those that don't, it's on Ch 70.  Love me some Yacht Rock.

 

Yacht Rock is great but man they need to bolster their damn playlist. Lots of repetition.

What I like about these threads and others like it that it allows me to rediscover some tunes I'f totally forgot about. 

I'm no Yacht Rock professional, but the latest Dawes album, Passwords, sounds like they're angling for some Yacht Rock radio airplay.

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

Saw a bar band cover this over the weekend.  Great twin guitar leads where the sax is in the original

 

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?

Love me some Yacht Rock but I've come to the conclusion that Rupert Holmes "Him" is unquestionably the worst song ever written.

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.

Bro. You need to mellow out to some smooooth tunes.

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

As I have heard it, Ambrosia was going to try to move away from soft rock and into heavier metal, but David Pack wrote this and it went top 3, and they said "fuck it, (yacht) rock it is!"

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.

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. 

Deserves some credit for one of the creepiest all time videos though:

 

 

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.

Rupert is pretty strong, but he's got nothing on Bertie.

If you’re going to have a hit, you got to make it fit so they cut it down to 3:05...

Bertie showing us Yacht Rock personified. 

I hope that poor girl he was holding hostage in that video is OK.

Wow, I hear this all the time, and never paid attention to the lyrics.  Holy shit.  Chris Hanson would like Benny to have a seat over there.

 

And I kinda like that song.  I feel a little dirty.

God damn...never seen the video...that IS creepy.

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.

 

That 16 year old snatch didn't do much for poor ole Benny.
