Worst Yacht Rock Music Ever Thread

Turn it up!!!

A torture music thread! Great idea!

Yeah, those are awful.

Line from Little River Band's 'Cool Change':

~~the albatross and the whales, they are my brothers~~

Yeah, second-rate Journey copycat yacht rock. But this is actually far worse than mere cheesy yacht rock. In the video, the 30-something pedo freak with eye makeup singer is obsessing over a 16 year old girl! He can't get any chicks his own age?

This one killed the dancing bananas...

This song gets my personal vote for the worst song ever...I basically said this on Twitter last week and Henry Gross's wife tried to take me to task for my opinion on art. It was a fun back and forth.

Can you link the twitter thread?

As mentioned, yacht rock appeals to women more than men. Chicks dig it, while a lot of guys would rather hear something with a harder, faster beat and more guitar and bass.

Yachting is the term for washed up actresses and celebrities who sell themselves to rich old farts.

There's actually a website where songs receive composite scores to determine whether they are or are not yacht rock. It's called 'Yacht Or Nyacht?'

Had to down vote in YT for fear it might show up in a recommended list and screw up my algorithm.

Here's something that all of the romanticist yacht enthusiast will really enjoy..

Groan...

Me, too.

It says a lot that the guy has khaki macramé sandals to match his khaki slacks, I think.

Huey Lewis.
“If this is It” wins hands down every time.
