The stress of Thanksgiving is over. Now it’s time to heat up leftovers, relax on the couch and enjoy the smooth sounds of a wrongly mocked music genre: yacht rock.

As music critic and writer Steve Huey once explained, "from 1976 to 1984, the radio airwaves were dominated by really smooth music." Once known as soft rock, since the mid-2000s pretty much everyone has called it Yacht Rock.

To paraphrase crooner Michael McDonald, one of the signature players of the music style, Yacht Rock has a place in our lives.

The stress of Thanksgiving is behind us, and it’s the perfect time to kick back, relax, and let the smooth sounds of yacht rock take over. This genre, with its signature blend of pop, jazz, and R&B, became the unexpected soundtrack to a generation's quieter moments in the late 1970s.
