Yacht Rock Playlist

Sorry for the low volume, I was feeling very smooth. "Is that Yacht Rock? Turn it up dude."

Welcome to week 113 of the Seasons of the Ukulele, Yacht Rock!

From 1976 to 1984 the radio airwaves were dominated by really smooth music, also known as "Yacht Rock." These Yacht Rockers docked a remarkable fleet of number one hits.

Here's a few links that will provide some ideas for some great Yacht Rock.

If you're not sure if your song idea qualifies as Yacht Rock then ask yourself a few questions. Is it smooth? Is it a little cheesy? Is it AM Gold? These should help. But, if you're still not sure then check the links or you can PM me. I'm pretty lax on my themes, what's important is to have fun.

Here's a list of some popular Yacht Rockers

Kenny Loggins
Michael McDonald
The Doobie Brothers
Hall & Oats
Rupert Holmes
Al Stewart
The Commodores
Christopher Cross
Toto
Chicago
These are just a few

Smooth videos are encouraged but not required.

I'm pretty loosey gooseyon the rules so pretty much anything goes. Just don't get too liberal with the rules.

I was more of a Huggy Bear man myself (although not in the pin up sense I hasten to add)...........The Seasons is where the elite meet and come to greet and eat and flee the feet who are so sweet with the finer things of life, beep-beep, beep-beep, beep. (spoken in my best Huggy Jive accent)

Great theme Moons

Ooooh CHEEEEESY. I can do that. Nothings gonna stop me doing a bit of Leo Sayer. I fancy a bit of over acting is gonna be called for on this one. ;-)
 
In my younger days people said I looked like him[I had a black beard too] now they say I look like Keith Richards !

Impossible!!

No one has quite such a "lived in" look as Keith Richards

Unless it's Mick Jagger :rofl: :eek:ld:
 
I love when I know right away not only what song I'm going to play but what I'm going to wear.

Not to hijack the thread, but I am on my way over to Season 109 to make sure I haven't missed anyone and I will get results up later today. I was doing much better and then I started coughing and was forced to pipe down. I hate both of those things. But I should be able to get through a nice, yachty number in the next few days, and not a moment too soon!

Oh, and also, I totally want to go on a cruise with concertina and BEVOMU. Every buffet would be cheese.
