Yacht Rock: The Power of Smooth Music

LockingPlier  said about 5 years ago  or at  1:25PM on Tuesday, July 25 2006 in music

OK, This shit is fuckin' awesome.

If you're bored today then you're in for a special treat.

What do Kenny Loggins, Christopher Cross, Michael Jackson, Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers, etc. all have in common?

That's right, they understand the power of smooth music.

Click here for the sordid history and temultuous evolution of Yacht Rock.

Scroll down to the bottom and start with episode one....it is well worth it.

As Oates says:

"FUCK YOU, LOGGINS!!! Hall and I will not stand idly by while you California vagina sailors stab the American airwaves in the balls with your shit music!"

LockingPlier  said about 5 years ago:

"He's trapped in a prison of smooth grooves".


LockingPlier  said about 5 years ago:

tsk, tsk LP

I think the key to a good thread is to pose a question or a topic that is accessible to as many people on the board as possible.

You know, to promote a broader discussion.

Clearly, you've painted yourself into a corner with this one.

Don't be discouraged, you'll do better next time.


LockingPlier  said about 5 years ago:

There is no discussion to be had.

I do not expect it to be a lengthy thread, full of whimsical discussion (this comment excluded).

I posted it so other people could enjoy the humour, Bruce.

It's a pity you are not able to see this.....I feel sorry for you.

M&N is not a popularity contest for everyone, you know.


Bruce  said about 5 years ago:

i feel your pity


tangy_zizzle  said about 5 years ago:

I will watch this. Can't view it at work for some reason.


froginasock  said about 5 years ago:

also check out House of Cosbys. Comedy Gold.


LockingPlier  said about 5 years ago:

They were taken to court over House Of Cosbys.


LockingPlier  said about 5 years ago:

Episode 5 is pretty funny.

They call on the spirit of Koko to stop Michael Jackson turning away from smooth music.

"Hard Rock has got me and Eddie (Van Halen) drillin’ more cooch than Black and Decker!"


the power of 666  said about 5 years ago:

will watch 1 now


the power of 666  said about 5 years ago:

oh shit, i've sen this ages ago!


LockingPlier  said about 5 years ago:

Oh man.....I'm behind the times.


MickeyPratt  said about 5 years ago:

I have it on fairly good authority that these guys have been offered a DVD release for the series.


unvisible  said about 5 years ago:

The irony is that yacht rockers were much more abrasive, raucous and rockin' than most of today's indie rockers....

Vincent Price: "Smooth music will only survive if McDonald and Loggins can be persuaded to make amends!"
