10 best yacht rock songs of the summer

[ad_1]

The term yacht rock was not coined when the genre took radio by storm in the 1970s and 1980s. Quieter soft rock earned its name 30 to 40 years later when Channel 101, a website of Los Angeles, launched a comedy web series titled Rock of the yachts.

The web series imagined the lives of the stars of the genre with invented plots. For example, imagine if the Doobie Brothers and Hall & Oates were rivals and Kenny Loggins was a good friend of Boz Scaggs. Pretty fun stuff, but thank goodness it gave the genre a name, mostly because it’s so universal. You can’t describe yacht rock, you just recognize it when you hear it.
