England Dan and John Ford Coley weep.
And, I'm sorry, but Player and Ambrosia are Top 5 worthy every day of the week. In fact, the Throbber just got a flashback boner to Junior Prom slow dance on Baby Come Back. brb, yo.

We can add them. They are both worthy and have been played on the yacht I sail on.PurpleThrobber said:England Dan and John Ford Coley weep.

If I were on a yacht, I wouldn't listen to any of Yella's choices. Yachts and rap go together. Yachts and old man music do not.

Lots of old, rich, white guys own yachts. But, yes, Yacht Rock as a genre reached it's zenith in the late 70s and early 80s.RoadDawg55 said:If I were on a yacht, I wouldn't listen to any of Yella's choices. Yachts and rap go together. Yachts and old man music do not.
In the sail boat I crew on there's no mutual exclusivity between enjoying yacht rock and hip hop. We play both with regularity. -
Rented a house boat for our week long senior trip to Lake Shasta. We played Nelly's first album the entire time. Not rock, but a good time nonetheless.

Interesting mix. A few of those make me want hot ice picks in my eardrum. A few others are guilty pleasures. A few are are among my favorite songs. I often forget about Dirty Work. Thanks for reminding me.YellowSnow said:Escape – Rupert Holmes

Reggae trumps rap as summer time boating music by the way and it's not even close.RoadDawg55 said:If I were on a yacht, I wouldn't listen to any of Yella's choices. Yachts and rap go together. Yachts and old man music do not.

And thanks for your service reminding me of yacht rock. Just tuned in to SiriusXM 311.
You have NO idea the damage Benny Mardones did. -

Right up my alley

Solid list, just a couple edits, and if you wanted to go full Yacht, you could add "Sailing - Christopher Cross".YellowSnow said:Escape – Rupert Holmes

Flagged because any respectable Yacht Rock playlist needs The Doobie Brothers and Kenny Loggins on it.

Look, I would consider myself one of the most respected yacht DJs in the Lake Union sailing community, and this was an actual play list I made for next week. Supposed to be mid 80s and sunny. But all bullshitting aside "What a Fool Believes" by the Doobies is perhaps the most yacht rockey song of all time. I just wasn't in the mood for it when I was making the play list is all. Same is true for Boz Scaggs. Lowdown is as classic yacht rock as it gets.
