Of course, Steely Dan or Supertramp comes to mind. But one of the best examples would be Daryl Hall & John Oates' War Babies, which is actually more of a Todd Rundren album. If you have other examples, please share.

I thought it was cruise ship rock. Yachts are too small to fit the keyboards and drum sets. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

| 80s Moody Blues and 80s Roxy Music are YRR, (yacht rock related). Possibly "From the Beginning" by ELP is YRR also. |

Carl Palmer's drum set would have sank a yacht. |

| Ambrosia first 3 releases would possibly fit the Prog Yacht Rock bill. |

"Gino Vannelli - Brother to Brother" to me perfectly fits that label ------------- On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became. Ernest Vong |

No. Just no. That's not remotely "yacht rock," prog or otherwise.  ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Actually it fits the general description of yacht rock rather well. The OP asked for Progressive Yacht rock--- that ain't Gordon Lightfoot or Christopher Cross. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

| Although he isn't in the Jazz Rock/Fusion group here (but probably should be), I'd be inclined to put Jeff Lorber Fusion in this group (Prog Y R)... |
