Ep 04: Yacht Rock

Set sail with The Vinyl Curriculum as Jim takes Logan aboard the smoothest genre of them all—Yacht Rock. It's all about tight harmonies, slick production, and breezy vibes from the late ’70s and early ’80s. Think soft rock with a captain’s hat.

This week, we drift through hits from Toto, Michael McDonald, Steely Dan, and more. Logan tries to figure out what actually qualifies as Yacht Rock, while Jim defends the genre’s unsinkable cool.

🛥️ Is this smooth ride a vibe or a snooze? Logan weighs in.
🎧 Featuring classics that go down easy with a cold drink in hand.
