I had not heard of this genre when I still had my big boat. That said, we probably played many of those songs on the boat
 
What exactly is "Yacht Rock"? I tuned into the XM Yatch Rock station a couple times. It just seems like a new terminology for "soft rock". Is there a difference between soft rock and yacht rock?

Sure - where folks have boats, it's 'Soft Rock'; where folks DON'T have boats, it's 'Yacht Rock'!!
 
yeah, soft rock and yacht rock are pretty much the same. If you want to go into details

Yacht rock is soft rock but not all soft rock is yacht rock. It's smooth, feel good, with that glossy coastal vibe. Songs by Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins, Steely Dan, Michael McDonald and Toto all fit. :)

Thanks. What would be a couple examples of soft rock songs that are not Yacht Rock songs?
