We were calling it "AM Gold" before the Yacht Rock phenomenon.

The comedy series coined the term which was celebrated on here on the regular.

We hosted a Yacht Rock pool party recently and my wife put together a playlist for it.

The whole "genre" jumped the shark unfortunately. It was fun while it lasted. I'm being dragged to see a yacht rock cover band tmw night.

Most of the time I found mixes online they had a lot of yacht rock adjacent tracks and they became more interpretive and weren't as soft rock focused.

Really. It reminds me that Carol Kaye said recently that she doesn't like the name "The Wrecking Crew".
