Yacht rock is a revived term for the polished, soft rock, R&B, and soul music that was popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s, characterized by smooth grooves, lush production, and complex musical arrangements, often evoking the California lifestyle. Though initially a dismissive term, it was coined by a 2005 web series and has since become a way to describe the genre's signature escapist sound and the technically skilled musicians behind it. Key artists include Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, Toto, Michael McDonald, and Christopher Cross.
