Probably one of the most overlooked genres of music out there and it's playing 24/7 on Sirius/XM Ch. 31 for those that have it. Even if you don't, grab your Steely Dan, Christopher Cross and Boz Scagg records and meet me on deck.

Dress appropriately and I will have you served cocktails and jumbo shrimp as our yacht plies the waters of someplace in the Caribbean.

Will check it out, although not my favs. Really have been diggin’ “Road Trip Radio” which is now on XM 18. Hope they make it permanent, cuz road trips are.

“the opening strains of Christopher Cross’ profound, “Sailing””

Profound?

Profoundly boring perhaps.

SiriusXM took off C-SPAN Radio with the latest channel shuffle. I used to record it every Sunday afternoon when C-SPAN replayed all of the Sunday News Programs commercial-free.

So instead I get to listen to yet another iteration of the same light rock songs? SiriusXM is getting dangerously close to losing a ten year subscriber.

“Christopher Cross, Toto, Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, Michael McDonald, Player”

I’m not a huge fan of the first two, but I’m definitely up for Boz Scaggs and especially Steely Dan pretty much anytime, anywhere. “FM” is one of my all-time favorite tunes.

This thread calls for some Bertie Higgins! Key Largo

Think of him as the "el Tropicale" Kenny Rogers

The real “Yacht Rock.”

Adult language warning.

This was the best. Episodes 1-4 are good too, the later ones not so much.

I’m still on nonspeaking terms with SiriusXM since they dropped Pops channel 75 from the lineup—just so they could add some more Britney Spears channels.

Not by any means a yacht song, but a good one from the same general time period as Cool Change.

We live on our 36ft Ta Shing Tashiba. When we go sailing, we listen to nothing but the wind.

We have found that the world is much more interesting without other sounds covering things up.

Just the sound of the waves and wind.

I’m sorry but there’s no universe in which Christopher Cross is any form of “rock.”

Little River Band fans, you’re going to love this!

YouTube has their FULL Greatest Hits album in excellent remastered quality! Trust me, it sounds terrific!

This one from 1978 might also fall into that genre.

Thanks, Sam! Just got a trial account and this is the best station. We were a lucky generation as far as music went. From yacht rock, hard rock, jazz, R&B... good stuff across the board. Then in the ‘80’s Country went full bore with George Strait, Alan Jackson and Garth Brooks.

A few years back my sons’ even said my generation had the best music.
