Yacht Rock

Nothing pairs better with a sunset cruise than a good Yacht Rock playlist. Smooth music, calm water, and zero urgency—basically the opposite of my inbox. I came across this interesting guide on yacht ownership while daydreaming about my next trip:
 
Top Yacht Rock songs. James Taylor, America, and Air Supply don't make the list

  • "Sailing" by Christopher Cross – The quintessential yacht rock track.
  • "What a Fool Believes" by The Doobie Brothers – A masterpiece of smooth West Coast pop.
  • "Rosanna"by Toto – A staple of 80s slick studio production.
    • "I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)" by Michael McDonald – The peak of McDonald’s legendary soulful vocal style.
    • "Lowdown" by Boz Scaggs – A silky, Grammy-winning R&B/disco crossover.
    • "Peg" by Steely Dan – Highlighted by flawless session musicianship and vocal harmonies.
    • "Baby Come Back" by Player – The ultimate smooth soft-rock breakup anthem.
    • "Right Down the Line" by Gerry Rafferty – A warm, feel-good groove highlighted by beautiful slide guitar.
    • "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes – The breezy and catchy tale of casual romance.
    • "Biggest Part of Me" by Ambrosia – A soaring vocal harmony showcase.
"Sailing"? That's for blow boats. That will be 20 Les Halls and 10 George Van Parys.
