ahhhh, a music war.
I labeled it 'fun rock' or 'feel good music', but I guess I might as well go with 'yacht rock'. For a very long time I have been working on the nuggets compilation of our generation. It features fun rock, smooth disco (see Firsts for everyone, Nov 17), feel good music and soft pop. Add to the list:
Olomana - Home
Olomana aren't quite obscure enough to make the comp., but they certainly have the sound - like The Beach Boys' Friends but whittled down to home style guitar and buttery vocals. Why is this so smooth? It's from Hawaii.
Steve Hackett - Hope I don't Wake
During my navigation of the uncharted 80's, I've come across many great looking, unrecognizable works on major labels. Had I been a Genesis fan, I would have recognized Steve Hackett's name instantly. Instead, I just focused on the mixed drink and island setting. Did you know Chevy Chase played drums in Steely Dan?
