Actually this list itself ain't bad, it's just most of the songs that are [deleted]. But not all, of course -- there's plenty of yacht rock to love. And who better to rank these tunes than VH1? There must be some holdovers from before the celebreality pox. Tomorrow night, Video Hits 1 will air their televised countdown of the Top 40 soft rock tunes, but go ahead and take a gander now and see if they hit the Marx.

Say what you will about this list, but we're with #1 (love us some Chris Cross). Also, whatever happened to the Yacht Rock guys? Weren't they developing something for VH1? Maybe they'll talk about it when it airs tomorrow. Too bad we won't be watching.
what about Rick Dees Disco duck?
They got shafted!
Spew.
We banned the soft-rock radio station at work because of those.
Pretty much.
the flatted fifth is the devil’s note!
Sabbath would never have existed without it.
Here’s a pretty decent cover of Lay Lady Lay. It’s a bizzare video but there just isn’t much good video of Dylan out there.

Hey, at least you can say you like some of these turds.
Where’s “TEACHER” by George Michael
Sung to th etune of Ayatollah.
I think this guy was into horse sex.
I kinda like: Brandy you’re a fine girl, what a good wife you would be....
Or that nun who sang the Our Father in the early 70s?
Abba was far too talented for this list, IMO
LOL. Odd, but not too bad. I’ll stick with the original.
In "Captain of her Heart" it's the note of an archangel. The first time I heard it, it sneaked up on me and *wham* (no, not the group) it flipped my ecstasy switch.
(". . . she couldn't wait another day for, the captain of her heart")
Some music does that to me.
That would have to go on the “gay soft rock” list, along with a couple of Queen songs.
I have to admit I watched the WHOLE show on VH1.
And when I was done I downloaded a couple of songs... Christopher Cross ‘Sailing’ and Seals and Croft’s ‘Summer Breeze.’
LOL! After I read the entire list, I agree with you.
I liked Seals and Croft back in the day. Diamond Girl still sounds good. Definitely reminds me of my youth.
