Featured Artist Favorites – Yacht Rock – The Best of the Rest #11-25
In putting a bow on our dealings with the sub-genre of soft rock known as ‘Yacht Rock’, here are Randy W. Hall’s #11-25 favorite Yacht Rock tunes. You’ve been warned!
Guilty Pleasure Saturday #7 – Adina Howard “Freak Like Me”
“Freak Like Me” was the perfect single for one-hit wonder Adina Howard.
Guilty Pleasure Saturday #6 – Mandy Moore “Candy”
Most late 1990’s pop music was lamentable dreck to me. However Mandy Moore’s ‘Candy’ was the rare pop song from the era I embraced (though not too loudly)
Guilty Pleasure Saturday #5 – Motley Crue “Kickstart My Heart”
“Kickstart My Heart” by Motley Crue has been a shot of audio adrenaline for Randy W. Hall for going on 26 years now. It still kicks ass!
Guilty Pleasure Saturday #4 – Player “Baby Come Back”
The best song Hall & Oates never wrote. It has it all. Don’t act like you don’t like it.
Guilty Pleasure Saturday #3 – El DeBarge
For this week’s Guilty Pleasure we go back to the unforgettable “Rhythm of the Night” when DeBarge ruled the pop airwaves. Just watch the damn video and try not to sing along 🙂
Guilty Pleasure Saturday #2 – Chingy “Holidae In”
Our second Guilty Pleasure Saturday song comes from one-album wonder Chingy from his 2003 debut “Jackpot” where he made the highly catchy ‘Holidae In’ with legend Snoop Dogg and his mentor Ludacris.
Guilty Pleasure Saturday – #1 Paula Abdul “Rush Rush”
On Saturday’s from here-on-out I’ll feature one of my favorite guilty pleasures (musically of course) and occasionally try to explain myself. This mega-hit from 1991 Paula Abdul’s “Rush Rush” is one of the guiltiest.
