I enjoy that station too but for some unfathomable reason my wife hates it. The only thing I don’t like is the Thurston Howell wannabe dj. Just get a regular guy or girl.
Sorry, I’d rather have a tooth extraction than listen to yacht rock.
I rebel at the whole yacht rock concept. It started as a pejorative used by idiots to dismiss music they couldn’t bother to listen too. Then some people who liked those bands accepted it. I don’t. It’s really not a scene. It’s a randomly applied label.
Well, she is a notorious bitch, for one. But then Darryl Hall is a notorious prick, so.....:)
I dunno. Not sure we should even allow some of the best bands of all time to be classified as “ yacht rock.” — seems sacraligeuos to me.
Why the ATMs with that title?
I liked this station but I thought Sirius got rid of it.
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.
Fun article, but the first half about ATM was completely unnecessary.
Yacht Rock = gay. That’s why.
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?
I’ve heard Phoebe Snow and Joan Armatrading.
We don’t listen to music much on our yacht. Sometimes when we are cruising we’ll have something in the background, but, I prefer the sounds of the boat moving, the wind in the sails, the conversations with my wife, and, no other sounds.
I LOVE RLJones. She is a true storyteller. Nicollette Larson & Neil Young made a great album together. No way they weren’t in love back in the day.
