I never liked that song, but try to never give people grief over what music they like, since it's so subjective. And saying, "I don't like that song," is far different from saying, "that song sucks" (as if that's a fact, when it's an opinion).
OT: Taylor Swift's Updated "All Too Well" on SNL
- Thread starter RU848789
- Start date
Well I've been trying to promote it with Athletic Department as our now entrance song for the football team, but no luck so far.
Awwww, it's so cute seeing your faux outrage in defense of your little brother, whose only contributions to this thread are as immature as my one childish post in response to another one of his.
getting back to Zep...Four Sticks is probably their most underrated song...crazy--it's another great one on IV.
I'd never even heard the term "yacht rock" before seeing that, childishly conceived but whatever, thread. When I saw the thread title, I opened it expecting to find this inside:
NOT SAFE FOR WORK (OR YOUNG CHILDREN)
T-Pain's backing vocals that delicately echo the expletives get me every time.
Not really defending him just wondering why a grown man would go out to search for a "kindergarten" meme to post.
If you’re looking for childish behavior from grown men on this board, there is no shortage of material to choose from. It’s curious that you focus your criticism on one person in particular.
It’s a reference to sophisticated affluent-but-stoned white guy music, such as Steely Dan, Christopher Cross, Michael McDonald. I actually think Taylor Swift may be dipping her sound into the genre in the near future, since she has been exploring the desolate “cottage-core” genre.
A place for Swifties to gather and dance the night away:

I don't think Steely Dan belongs in the same category as the crap in this thread mentioned as "yacht rock".
Most of Steely Dan's stuff...especially the early albums.....is quality.
Deacon Blues, Reelin' In The Years, My Old School. Doctor Wu, Only A Fool Would Say That, Kid Charlemagne, Haitian Divorce, Pretzel Logic.......all classics.
No Yacht Rock there.

If known at the time they would have kicked him out of The Melody and banned him from future visits
#'s is a Swiftie?!
I'm a semi Beilber so I can't talk. Lol
Actually that is all Yacht Rock. You must not listen to the Yacht Rock station on Sirius XM.
Beib's was on SNL a year or two ago, and his 2 performances were really interesting.

Other then that can't say I've heard anything I've liked from Beibs, same goes for Swift.
I'm not really that into JBiebs. I only like 2 or 3 of his songs.
Years ago when my daughter was into him I wanted to poke my ear drums out with bamboo skewers. Music was awful.
You can’t change that fact Steely Dan and those songs are played on the Yacht Rock station. I can tell you must be around 66-72 with those comments. Just like my older siblings.
Today some on this board celebrate Taylor Swift's birthday. It was trending on Twitter. Could not find a tweet by #'s.
Well, according to the authority on Yacht Rock, linked below, you're both wrong and right, lol. Generally, the early Steely Dan work from the first 2 albums, including Reelin' In the Years and My Old School, are not considered YR, given that they're earlier and a bit edgier/rockin (in general), while the later albums from Katy Lied (4th album) until the end (which include all the other songs listed, iirc) are generally considered YR, partly because of them being after 1975 and partly due to their generally cooler/jazzier style - and Katy Lied featured Michael McDonald the evil genius of YR, lol. Pretzel Logic (3rd album) has songs that score right on the edge of YR, including Rikki Don't Lose That Number and Any Major Dude Will Tell You. As someone who was a big fan of SD's early albums and not so much the later ones (with exceptions), I tend to agree with the scoring.

You are all busy "branding" yourselves via criticizing... like Millenials... and that is not to suggest you are young at heart.
The early Steely Dan albums are full of gems like My Old School.
BTW, Jeff Baxter's guitar on that tune is special.
Thanks for posting that link. I checked out that sight and there are a lot of songs missing (based on me being forced to listen to that station. Also, I asked my authority (my wife who listens to Yacht Rock whenever it's on) and she said "Reelin in the Years" is on there all the time. 😀
They may be playing it, but if so, they're going well outside what anyone would say is Yacht Rock. YR is song type and style, not artist. Just because Michael McDonald was in the Doobies starting in 75 doesn't mean they should be playing early 70s Doobies, which is much bluesier.
