Infidel!
 Sterile production? Check. Twinkling electronic keyboards? Check. Evidence of vacuous lyrical content? Check. Too much cocaine? Check. Bloated egos? Check. Guilty, m'lud. Jules |

Did CSNY hide “Through My Sails” on a Neil and Crazy Horse album in the hope that no one would notice their Yacht Rock anthem?

Well, Neil slipped it in there. Not sure he gave the others much of a say really. Jules |

That includes lots of Jackson Browne's albums then, and I'm not having that!

Not even Lawyers in Love? Not even that. Not my favourite JB album by a long shot, but it still deserves better than being labelled as 'yacht rock'. IMHO, obviously. Other opinions are available... |

Ironically, The Yachts (from Liverpool) were much more a power-pop outfit.

I never thought of Jackson Browne as a purveyor of yacht rock, but "Somebody's Baby" from the Fast Times at Ridgemont High soundtrack may qualify. |
