My wife has banned me playing that Benny Mardones track again. Shame, absolute earworm.

I love yacht rock songs with harmonized choruses. These two are my favorite:

Re: Yacht Rock
Recently finished Michael McDonald's new memoir so his stuff is in heavy rotation right now. Man, what a voice and vibe. His first solo album is killer. I saw The Doobie Brothers open for Steely Dan in 2018, which was right before McDonald rejoined them again and I really wish he had been playing with them at the time.

Re: Yacht Rock
The end of that intro is a little Zappa-esque. I thought they were about to get freaky, but it was short-lived.
Still, pretty cool.

Re: Yacht Rock
michael mcdonald might have one of the best voices ever, but i dunno how you go from steely dan and the doobie brothers to the piles of shit he was releasing in the 80s.

I dunno I think his first two solo albums are really good. Haven’t gone further yet but I like those

Re: Yacht Rock
maybe i'll check those out. his voice is amazing, i'm sure there's something i'll like. i just immediately associate his name with bad pop music from the 80s.

Re: Yacht Rock
Anyone check out the new yacht rock doc on Max yet? I haven’t, but I will soon. My kid has been playing Tin Man by America on his guitar lately.

I’m hoping there’s a large portion dedicated to the Dan since he pretty much owes them everything.

Great doc. Lots of fun. Fagen’s response to the request for the interview is hysterical.

Re: Yacht Rock
evidently steely dan isn't fond of being labeled as yacht rock. hopefully donald fagen doesn't read LV's posts here.
