If You Love Yacht Rock

[cc333]

After giving it some thought, I think I like early Soft Rock a bit better, which encompasses both Yacht Rock and much of that easy, acoustic singer/songwriter stuff from the early to mid 70s (Bread, Seals & Crofts, etc), a bit better.

Yacht Rock, to me, would make more sense as a subgenre or style of Soft Rock, rather than a genre of its own, because it's a bit too narrowly defined.

I like Bread and Seals & Crofts.

Me too. David Gates was very good and I think wrote (and sang lead vocals on) many of Bread's most well known records.

Today I learned there's a Bread cover band called Toast:

All the major audio streaming services have dedicated Yacht Rock channels. IHeart, Pandora, Audacy, AccuRadio, TuneIn, etc. Spotify has a bunch of YR mixes (including mine).

For an over the air signal, there's Key 93.7 in Key West, FL. 24/7 Yacht.

Where's the one on Audacy?? I can't find it. And the one on TuneIn is 181.fm (Though they call themselves Listen.fm)

Audacy's is called Jugger-Yacht. Tune-In does have several third party streams and stations, but they also have their own, simply titled "Yacht Rock."

I'll have to give the Audacy one a try but I think my favorite one on TuneIn there will always be Listen.fm

Right now, I'm enjoying the sound of Top 40 Radio at its finest on Aircheck Radio
