I never heard the term Yacht Rock before. None of the songs listed are in my collection.

Re the Four Seasons, to each his own. I can't listen to Frankie Valli, it just grates on my nerves. When my older son told me that he and my daughter-in-law had gone to see Jersey Boys, I asked him what he had done to deserve punishment like that.

They're horrible indeed! But this thread needed a Thunderbird video  :mrgreen:

Yacht Rock has been a cover band theme for years now. We've got a few here in Chicago. That list is a pretty good representation of songs. Baker Street is a staple.  ;D They're definitely making more than tip jar money!

no yacht. no rock.



But it's 60ies pop! I have a weak spot for that from all the singles my nine year older brother had, I can even handle Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich in small doses.

Hearing a really good sax player play Baker Street with a couple of long solos is an excellent thing!   8)

Unidentified Flying Object sans Kraut but with Donnervogel ...








Many decades later, a lot of hair has gone, Americans have invaded, but ze Donnervogel ist immer noch da, albeit with a new player ...

Yes!

Just say no to Yacht Rock unless there are TBirds.

Ye mortals, make way for the Imperial Wizard of Circumcisionvention! Your hapless attempts thwart me not, I'm a lawyer, no loophole, however small, is safe from me! Thunderpelican Yacht Rock, voilĂ !

I hate to admit it, but I actually watched enough of a Steely Dan video to see the Thunderbird. Didn't think I could make it that far.

No comment about loop-holes is safe from innuendo on this site...nudge, nudge.

Now would be perfect timing for a Walter Becker signature Thunderbird. Give it an aquamarine and florescent pink finish for the yacht rock fans. That would be a way for Gibson to one up Dean.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

It'll need flamingo inlays.

And I have an idea for the factory strings ...

Don't laugh, I have those on my black Krist Novoselic RD!  :mrgreen:

Last time I brought it with me, my band mates were fashion-helpful by recommending that I should perhaps have my toe nails made to match.
