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.

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.

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.

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.
