“Miami Vice” had a lot to do with it ... And don’t forget the movie “Cocktail,” which gave the Beach Boys a huge #1 with “Kokomo.”

Steely Dan doesn’t belong on this list.

Ping to my music gurus - I had not heard this term before, although it seems apt.
Does "Southern Cross" qualify?

I always thought “Into The Night” by Benny Mardones was a creepy pedophile song.

That point can be argued. But the song "Hey 19" from
Gaucho is quintessentially Yacht Rock.

To: Lurker
The “Gaucho” album with “Hey Nineteen” I think qualifies.

Southern Cross is firmly in that other category, “Trop Rock” (Tropical).
Cut-offs, flip-flops and parrot shirts

Perhaps you’re right. I just bristled at Steely Dan on the same list as Air Supply. I hated that band.

Cut-offs, flip-flops and parrot shirts Of which Jimmy Buffett is still the undisputed master to this day. I recommend his concerts, tuneful and funny and he hasn't lost a step.

A less generous term is “corporate” rock. I’ll stick to “pop” rock.

Yep lots of Steeley Dan, and Sade playing on the docks. Still are.

Pass some gas!

In the radio business, we called it “soft rock” or “chicken rock.”

They were later albums, but I would categorize Donald Fagen’s “The Nightfly” and “Kamakiriad” as Yacht Rock.
