No, they moved it to channel 311. You can get it on your app but also on the dial in your car radio, you just have to twirl the dial a decent amount. Unless you have direct entry tuning.
Yeah, basically it’s “70s soft rock the lister doesn’t like and probably hasn’t really listened to”. And of course from day one the term has been used to dismiss Steely Dan which just ultra offends me cause Steely Dan is one of the most awesome bands ever. Even other artists that get in the category that I like can be dismissed. I enjoy Jimmy Buffett, especially when I’ve been drinking, but I’ll be honest, not musically challenging, or interesting, and never really added anything to the concept of music. Anybody wants to dismiss him as meh I’m OK with. I think I do too, just meh I happen to find fun. But nobody gets to dismiss Deacon Blues. Not on my watch.
Hopefully you don't consider that also a "lazy label."
Personally, I would have named the station "Cheeseburger in Paradise with Mushrooms and Swiss Cheese" though I can see how some would consider that a rather unwieldy name.
I had to Google Yacht Rock. I like some of that stuff as a changeup (not so much Rickie Lee Jones), but I’ll take Allman Bros. Trouble No More or Statesboro Blues or Robin Trower Lady Love, or Creedence Green River, if I’m just starting out on a drive.
Jimmy can call his music whatever he wants. And lets face it, that’s just marketing. That’s his famous song, and his brand. Restaurants, clothing, booze, cashing big fat checks in Margaritaville.
It’s an insult to call Steely Dan Yacht Rock.
“Babylon Sisters” is the perfect Yacht Rock Song. Well, maybe aside from “Sailing” or “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)”.
Fun article, but the first half about ATM was completely unnecessary.
Yacht Rock = gay. That’s why.
Jazz Rock, yes. But there’s something insipid about the label Yacht Rock.
When I’m surfing thru stations on Sirius and it lands on Magaritaville station, I can’t change it fast enough.
I'm sort of getting into them now.
They are actually a pretty tight band, which pleasantly surprised me as I always considered them a bunch of druggies.
I’ve been a Dead fan since the mid ‘70’s. However, after Garcia’s death, I pretty much stopped following them. I still listen to the older stuff regularly.
“Glamour Profession” by Steely Dan and “The Goodbye Look” by Donald Fagen are both better yacht rock songs. Which is why Sirius XM never plays them.
Me too....and I own a yacht. Funny thing is, everyone in the marina plays music. And you NEVER...ever....hear this kind of stuff.
I was a regular listener to the Sirius GD station, but one of their regular hosts annoyed me and I mostly listen to Classic Vinyl or Classic Rewind now if I’m not listening to my downloaded playlists.
Because yachts are boys’ toys?
It could be better if they played more than the same 40 songs.
Your ATMs didn’t give you receipts for deposits as well as withdrawals? Or did you never dare to check?
