From Urban Dictionary:

2. Yacht Rock
2 up, 9 down

Yacht rock is cheesy pop rock music from the 80s and 90s. Artists like Michael McDonald, Kenny G, Stevie Nicks, Toto and a host of other similar bands comprise artists who performed this music. Think of dudes in their 50s cruising the harbor and snorting cocaine on their yachts blasting Kenny G and you will be able to picture those who enjoy yacht rock

I saw Billy's dad out in Newport Beach the other day cranking out some yacht rock. It made me want to vomit a shade of teal blue puke

Yup, just as I had imagined itSmile
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer

prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Could you not call Yak rock simply Tibetan RnR like everybody else?Tongue
 
 
 
I suppose the Yacht rock is an evolution of corporate rock

As long as it isn't offensive I don't see any reason why you (and by you I mean anyone) should be upset.Wink

That doesn't matter, as long as you continuously talk about certain groups, you're at fault.Wink

Then why don't you not ever discuss these groups:

VdGG
OOIOO
Robert Wyatt
Astrid Proll

And how much Rock Bottom pwns everything else

You fall victim to constantly talking about certain groups as well, so don't act like you don't.
