What Are You Listening To? April 2020

Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic (1974)

I came across the term late in the game, and can't really tell if "Yacht Rock" is predominantly a term of derision or endearment. Either way, I love the music and the imagery of the term. I'd love a comprehensive guide to Yacht Rock that includes albums post 2000.

I think there used to be a Yacht Rock station on Sirius XM satellite radio. Maybe it was just a summer thing.

Simple Minds- Sparkle in the Rain (1984)



I haven't listened to this in well over 20 years, but for some reason "The Kick Inside of Me" just popped into my head this morning. I had forgotten how much fun this album is. It takes me back to another time.
