We Just Disagree is not yacht rock.

I guess we just disagree.

Heh.

Of course it's yacht rock! It's got that quintessentially annoying smoothness, the "mature" lyrics< and would fit right in with pretty much anything by Michael McDonald. It's from 1977 - smack dab in the middle of the yacht rock/easy listening era.

Google "yacht rock" and "We Just Disagree", and there are plenty of cross-references. Most of the music press considers it pretty squarely in the yacht rock category. Here's a list of the "Top 50 Yacht rock songs", and We just disagree is at 40 or so.

Down with yacht rock!

The guys who invented the term yacht rock — and still rate songs every week on their podcast — gave We Just Disagree 17.75 out of 100 points. Careless Whisper by Wham! is rated higher.

Songs at 50 and above are considered yacht rock. Songs below 50 are . . . nyacht. It’s the Yachtski scale. They know of what they speak. That’s my go-to source. :-)

Smooooooth music 🛥️

I was a teenager in South Florida in the late 70’s. My whole day to day life was one never ending Yacht Rock song.

I hated it!!

My fantasy was to be a teenager in London in the mid 60’s!

Now it cracks me up knowing that people from the Midwest who loved this stuff were fantasizing about living my life.
