daslied Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Yachts are strictly the domain of the corporate. I hereby renounce "Sloop John B". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 When I'm sailing my yacht, I like nothing better than cranking out Big Black's "Passing Complexion" at an antisocial volume, whilst urinating over the side onto inferior water traffic.

daslied Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Are they "yacht songs" because each one of them makes me want to throw myself off one, preferably near a gaggle of sharks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you a yacht snob, b-f? I'm shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJonSurfer Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 My name is Elmer J. Fudd, millionaire. I own a mansion and a yacht. (Need to be a heavy Bugs Bunny fan for this obscure reference!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 I noticed that article Paul Edward posted comes from IGN (gaming site). I used to post there at the vestibule, that site doesn't know jack$#@% about music, hrmm-k That top ten yacht list mentions forgettable 70's 8-track posh hits from: Kenny Logins Michael McDonald Captain & Tenille Loggins & Messina Ambrosia Seals & Croft Christopher Cross Player Robbie Dupree Barry Manilow Times like this, I'm glad I don't own a yacht.

bluesboy Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 I agree MC, Love Will Keep Us Together by Captain and Tennille could be # 11 on that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulEdwardWagemann Posted July 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Actually, Paul McCArtney's 'with a little luck' and Santana's 'I'm winning' and steve winwoods "If you see a chance take it' all sound suspiciously like yacht rock to me...or am I just imagining things here?

Otokichi Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 "Yacht Rock"? Don't ya know that "Your momma don't dance and your daddy don't rock & roll"? Forget those artificial playlists, we're on a fishing boat here, playing "Vahevala" or "Taking Care of Business," hauling in shrimp, crabs, or lobsters for those yacht owners. Don't know about you, but my collar is as blue as the sea. (Great Big Sea, that is.) :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, PMac's 'with a little luck' was actually recorded aboard the motor yacht 'Fair Carol' just off the Virgin Islands...

MindCrime Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Me & my old man, had a debate about this article that was posted, & how neither one of us identified with the bands that were placed, despite having a clear memory of the songs. If I was lucky enough to ride in a Yacht, it'll never happen in my lifetime, I would probably go with: Crosby, Stills, & Nash Emerson, Lake, & Palmer Bachman-Turner Overdrive these bands sound more like Attourney Law-firms, rather than rock Bob Segar & the Silver Bullet Band Rolling Stones (It's only rock & roll album) Chicago Buffalo Springfield Traffic / Blind Faith Spencer Davis Group Dan Fogelberg / Steely Dan The Byrds The Kinks etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
