In an alternate reality, I am a gacked up fifty year old oil man with the most rocking mustache that man, woman, and arthropod will ever see.

What makes them Yacht Rock? I want to play!

[Captain Russ]

Clarification via the wiki:

"Yacht rock" is a name used to retrospectively describe the soft rock format that peaked in popularity between the years of 1975 and 1984. In part, the term relates to the stereotype of the yuppie yacht owner, enjoying smooth music while out for a sail. Additionally, since sailing was a popular leisure activity in Southern California, many "yacht rockers" made nautical references in their lyrics, videos, and album artwork, particularly the anthemic track "Sailing" by Christopher Cross. Notable artists also include Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan and Toto.

OMG, awesome!!! Continue!

Did someone say Boz Scaggs?

(And I shit you not - that's one of my favorite albums from the 70s! My sister and I played the 8-track while we drove around for almost all of 1977 through 1978!)
