Soft Rock

[10cc]

You guys already beat me to Ambrosia, Orleans and Bread

I'm no good with the doing the links - can someone add some Firefall "You are the Woman" or "Just Remember I Love You"

Talk about a guilty pleasure - my wife can't believe I still listen to this stuff!!!!

Dave

Bam! Never knew who sang this song, awesome!


And I've never heard this little jewel either. Thanks Dave

I'm not one for a whole lot of soft rock, and I'm not entirely sure if these will qualify.

Meatloaf - Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through
Meatloaf - Objects In The Rear View Mirror

 

[DiabolusInMusic]

Of course somebody with the handle 10cc is into soft rock...

I am too.

So many songs here that I've wanted to cover!!! I suggested to my power trio that we do "Love Me Tomorrow", have wanted to do "Jump Street", "Lowdown", "Georgia" and so many others off Silk Degrees that it ain't even funny. I also would love to do Smeet's "Lonely Boy" and "Jackie Blue" just for fun...

Alan Parsons Project... "Don't Answer Me" was one of the songs used on our wedding mix (never, I mean NEVER, give a musician an opportunity to design the music for his wedding... she forced me to stop after three discs) and I still have so many of his songs on my iPod...

"Hearts"... "Is everything alright..." Great. Now I'll be singing this for the rest of the weekend. Thanks.

Just don't watch the video for whichever Marty Balin song where he plays a guy in a jail cell... Might have been Hearts.... too much shirtless Marty in nothing but a banana hammock, sitting posed with legs kinda spread. Seriously, I saw it once about 10 years ago and it's weirdness is just burned i to my brain! I am scarred. Or maybe subliminally in love? Haha.

The Stones Start Me Up intro (heard at every sporting event ever since!) is not a subtle rip off of Thunder Island, is it? If Blurred Lines is a rip off of Got to give it up based on essence alone then this is Grand Theft!

 

[Ewo]

These count?

 

[stratovani]

A bit more recent stuff.

As others inspire me...

Yes! Gerry Rafferty! Definitely one of my favorite soft rock artists.



90% of what I've seen in this thread is bringing back a flood of memories from the 70s and 80s.

Totally forgot about this one! Gerry Rafferty was such a great talent.

+1, the first Stealers Wheel album was an excellent pop record!

4 good ones. I love this stuff, don't tell my band.

 

[Crystalman85]

Yep, yeah & Yes! This is shaping up perfectly! Smeet and Tyler dropping by with some heavy hits. Thanks guys!

Really?...Bette davis eyes by kim carnes is consider to be soft rock? I always thought that song was more like new wave. still a great song.

 

[Son of Wobble]

I was born in '63, so this late '70's 'soft sound' stuff is the true sound of my adolescence. Thus this thread has left me a little teary-eyed.
Great play list, guys!

 

[Jughead6]

How about a bit of Joe Cocker (RIP)...

 

[tinman 1967]

Maybe ya had to be there, but I always loved "Miracles" by Jefferson Starship.

I saw the Airplane reunion tour back in 89 or so. I remember Jorma, Jack and Paul hanging back playing the song while Marty and Grace sang it to each other.... One of the most magical experiences I have ever witnessed. What a show!

Ambrosia

Ambrosia's early albums were Prog-Rock!

 

[Robroy]

Most of what other people call "soft rock", I call "pop" (even when done by "rock" bands). The only songs I consider to be soft rock would be stuff like Wanted, Dead or Alive.
