AM Soft Rock Radio - Help

Great example. Was this song a hit by the way?

It’s 1974 but fits the sound of the electric pianos and vibe

Sara Smile

Bee Gees sans Disco

Supertramps “Goodbye Stranger”

Dolly

Stevie, and not the hotel clerk or prewar German hooker acting one.

Sir Duke

Low Down - Boz Scags

I can’t go for that - Hall and Oates

Steely Dan

Judee Sill

Susan Hacks - Evergreen

Gary Wright - Love is Alive, and, Really Wanna Know You

1977 Bob Welch- Ebony Eyes

Walter Egan, "Magnet and Steel"

R1, “Pilot of the Airways” reached number 13, as a hit, in 1979. It was a wonderful song; I enjoyed it.

"Falling in and out of Love/Amie": Pure Prairie League. It's actually 2 separate songs that were meshed together. Early country rock/folksy stuff.

Almost the entire album "Aja" by Steely Dan. Maybe a little more jazzy than you had in mind but great album.

I forgot to add this

This one.

Genesis' 1980 "Turn It On":

And another

R8 Had no idea he was white.

Here’s a compiler playlist from a Time-Life “AM Gold” CD

I wish I could send you my full catalog of that genre (cheesy 70’s rock) because I have a lot.

Another 1980 Genesis, Misunderstanding:

James Taylor & JD Souther - Her Town Too (1981)

Champaign - How Bout Us (1981)

Maybe more R&B than soft rock (though it was #1 on the AC chart) but a great song nonetheless

This thread makes me hear the radio station jingle “96.5iiiiiive K-O-I-Teeeeee”

Paul McCartney & Wings, especially “Silly Love Songs”

I remember every single song mentioned and they bring back good memories.

I wish people posting links would also tell us what song it is they're linking to. Is it that hard?

Try music from Bread, America, Jim Croce. If you look at the tracks listed in Rhino's Super Hits of the 70s series (AKA Have a Nice Day!) you will find plenty of songs that fit the bill.

Melissa Manchester Midnight Blue. One of my favorites, and 70s soft rock/pop is my JAM.

Not late 70's but a soft rock song nonetheless- Ozark Mountain Daredevils' 1974/75 Jackie Blue:

The Time-Life Best of Soft Rock playlist on spotify

What’s the difference between the sons listed here than yacht rock? Nothing.

Rita Coolidge: "We're All Alone".

James Ingram’s “Just Once”, brings such bittersweet memories. He was a beautiful and talented gentleman.

Shenna Easton, “When He Shines.”

Ventura Highway, America.

R41, I love "Just Once," but I would consider it a "slow jam" (R&B ballad) not "soft rock."

"Summer Breeze," Seals & Crofts.

More Melissa

Ambrosia

Doobie Brothers

To get the full effect you will need to listen to these songs on an AM car radio. Miniature transmitters can be had for less than $100 and eBay is crawling with suitable old radios.

"Love Will Find a Way", Pablo Cruise

"One Toke Over the Line", Brewer & Shipley

My favorite '70s one-hit wonder song: "Dancing in the Moonlight", King Harvest

1976's "Moonlight Feels Right" from Starbuck.

"No Time to Lose" by the Tarney Spencer Band, complete with a video of roller skating in Venice Beach.

"I'd Really Love to See You Tonight", England Dan & John Ford Coley

ELO had so many hits: Evil Woman, Livin’ Thing, Strange Magic, Telephone Line, and this song, Turned To Stone ruled the late 70’s airwaves:

In the 70s, people into 40-50 year old music tuned in to Lawrence Welk.

I loved and still love "Telephone Line" and "Strange Magic."

More Melissa Manchester - Come In From The Rain Not as popular as some of her other songs but one of my favorites.

I'm one of the guilty parties who weren't putting the song title and the artist because I can see the preview but I now remember not everyone sees them. Sorry.

There are several songs by The 5th Dimension that you'd like but this is my favorite - If I Could Reach You

I don’t consider this soft but I feel like with the electric keyboard it goes with all of this

OP, just get the Yacht Rock station on Pandora. Done.

"Sexy Eyes" - Dr. Hook

"So Into You" - Atlanta Rhythm Section

"Over My Head" - Fleetwood Mac

I never heard the term "yacht rock" before. You learn something new every day. Now I have a name for one of my favorite genres. Since I thought of Christopher Cross, I should link to "Sailing." But something about Arthur's Theme take me to a different time and place...NYC, pre-AIDS.

"Falling In Love Again" - Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Reynolds

life is a rock but the radio rolled me

One of my favorites that no one knows....Terence Boylan.

And another....Ned Doheny

So many of the great soft rock songs of the 70s really knew how to either mix happy sounds with a melancholy feel, or just hit that melancholy feeling HARD. Like this one

This has that happy/melancholy thing. It always makes me get a little teary.

As Truvy said: "Tears through laughter is my favorite emotion...."

"Sad Eyes" - well, self explanatory

Another somewhat unknown (this guy was in the Eagles at one time).

No disrespect to R47 but if you'd like another version.....

Y'all betta CLAP for Miss Phoebe SNOW!

Meow

A little soul

Virtually unknown, but one of my favorites.

Lovely

"If You Could Read My Mind" - Gordon Lightfoot

R80's post reminds me of this. It was one of the first songs I ever remember hearing....my babysitter played it for me.

America, "Ventura Highway"

So many Joni Mitchell songs, but here's one that really fits the bill - "Help Me"

Pretty much anything from the America's Greatest Hits album would fit nicely.

[quote]Rita Coolidge: "We're All Alone".

Boz did it better.

I love Karla Bonoff.

Yes, you may know the Linda Ronstadt versions of her songs (Linda recorded a number of them) but this version is THE one, at least for this song.

Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty.

You're the Biggest Part of Me, Ambrosia.

Boz Scaggs, "Harbor Lights".

This song defined the 1970s. And they were the best chair dancers I’ve ever seen.

Lonely Boy by Andrew Gold

Let's not forget all the "dumb comedies" soundtracks:

Spirit in the Sky

Bill La pBounty

Cat Stevens stuff

Don McLean - Castles in the Air

Anybody else remember this one?

Roger Voudouris - Get Used To It

This song played constantly on the radio for a couple of months, then was completely forgotten, and the singer was never heard from again.

He was the younger brother of one of the guys from Supertramp.

Ali Thomson - Take a Little Rhythm

I always thought this was a perfect little pop song.

And how frigging hot was Ray Parker Jr. when he was just starting out? Holy fuck.

Raydio - "You Can't Change That"

Godley & Creme - Cry

Orleans - Dance With Me

Poco - Crazy Love

ONJ!

He/His/Him

Goodbye 👋

Touch Me

Dream Weaver- Gary Wright

Wildfire · Michael Martin Murphey

Hated Wildfire. That's just depressing.

------------------

Walter Egan wrote this as a love song to Stevie Nicks

Gordon Lightfoot - Sundown

This is deep cut but better than some of the overplayed Yacht Rock hits. Great vocals, keyboards and harmonies.

Brandy

Lovesong

From 1972, Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show -- "Sylvia's Mother" (written by Shel Silverstein)

"Everybody's Talkin'" - Nillson

"Time In A Bottle" - Jim Croce

"Cat's In The Cradle" - Harry Chapin (though Taxi gets Honorable Mention)

"Danny's Song" - Loggins and Messina, though they had several other good songs

This one is a little more obscure; "Silver Morning" by Kenny Rankin. Other good sons on the album are Blackbird (Beatles cover) and Haven't We Met.

From 1983, The Police -- "Every Breath You Take"

Seals & Crofts - Diamond Girl

Sanford-Townsend Band - Smoke from a Distant Fire

"It Might Be You" - Steven Bishop (also "On and On)

"Love And Affection" - Joan Armatrading

And with this, I bid you all a good night.

Don't Give Up On Us

Lindsey Buckingham - Trouble

Dave Loggins - Please Come to Boston

10cc’s “I’m not in Love”

Maria Muldaur, “Midnight at the Oasis”

Merrill Rush, “Angel of the Morning”

Suzi Quatro Chris Norman Stumblin’ In

In addition to the Yacht Rock channel recs, check out SiriusXM’s “Love songs from the 70s”, OP.

The person who has utterly monopolized the Datalounge page on Reddit does NOT approve of some of the choices here, particularly Godspell.

Jackson Browne.

Victor Garber would be very disappointed with the charmless Godspell killjoy.

R135 I agree.

So much so that he and his husband would have to spend a few hours fucking some hairy ass to get out their frustrations.

“Year of the Cat” by Al Stewart was one of the biggest soft-rock hits of the late 70s.

137 replies and no mention of Little River Band??!

Just about anything by LRB -- "Lady", "Reminiscing", "Lonesome Loser", "Help Is On Its Way", "Happy Anniversary", etc. -- but, I'd say "Reminiscing" has the highest cheese-quotient.

I hate-listened to, "Year of the Cat".

This is a bit early, but I loved this song- it was a happy song and I lived in Chicago at the time: 1972/1973 "Saturday in the Park":

There was a K-Tel album called "Mellow Gold." Apparently released in 1991. My cousin actually owns this.

Legendary DL icon Anne Murray was the Queen of late 70's AM pop.

No cheesy 70's soft rock playlist is complete without "Shadows in the Moonlight"

Paul Simon - Still Crazy After All These Years

Kenny Loggins & Stevie Nicks - Whenever I Call You Friend

Jackie Blue - Ozark Mountain Daredevils

Steve Miller Band - Fly Like An Eagle

Apologies if this was listed before. We're at the point where repeat posts are a bit inevitable.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

A beautiful soul

Another great but little heard artist of the era

Most of his other music is very dirty honky tonk drinkin' kinda stuff, but I love this one. Very mellow.

I wish there was a way to play all these tracks right from here, without having to use Spotify ( I'm boycotting them post-Young) or some such. Great tracks from somewhat before my time.

It appears we’re repeating ourselves at this point.

Hey, what about me???

I'm sure a few of you old homos rubbed a few out back in the day thinking about my hairy chest.

I loved the one hit from the Stampeders "Sweet City Woman".

Lobo had two great ones "I'd Love You To Want Me" and "Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend".

Bread had a lot of early 70s hits, but my two favorites were "If" and "It Don't Matter To Me".

For you, R152.

Most of this isn't "soft rock"---Steely Dan, no, too jazzy. Steve Miller, more like Frat Rock. Jackson Brown? Country or Folk rock---too much story telling and meaning for "soft rock" which was usually pretty vapid.

How about Player - Baby Come Back

Unfortunately Steely Dan gets played so much on Yacht Rock channels I’ve come to loathe songs like Peg. It sucks how channels dedicated to certain genres or eras get stuck playing the same songs over and over instead of playing more obscure but equally good songs.

"Undercover Angel", Alan O'Day (1977)

I love the person who did this.

Steve Miller Band- Fly Like an Eagle, Take the Money And Run, and Jet Airliner, 1976, 77:

Bee Gees gorgeous “Spirits Having Flown” more of a deep cut but a favorite.

Leblanc and Carr “Falling”

Bobby Goldsboro “summer (the first time)”

Dammit, link for APP GPP:

Yacht rock adjacent double “captain of her heart”

Another post yacht rock with yacht rock king Michael McDonald and Aretha Franklin “ever changing times”

Easy listening/yacht rock/adult contemporary R212 .

Pointer Sisters “he’s so shy”

Stephen bishop “on and on”

Doobie brothers “real love”

Captain and tennille “do that to me one more time”

ELO “strange magic”

John Denver - “Shanghai Breezes.” I always loved that song.

Dan fogelberg “heart hotels”

Outside the sound but from the seventies:

You Light Up My Life - Debby Boone

Judy Collins “Send in the Clowns.” She sang the best version of this brilliant song.

Bee Gees “love so right”

Paul Davis “65 love affair”

Patrice Rushen - Settle For My Love

Kool and the gang “too hot”

Let’s not forget one of DL’s favorite tv theme songs from “Angie” different worlds by Maureen McGovern

Another tv theme song that became a hit “believe it or not” by Joey scarbury from greatest American hero.

Carly Simon “you belong to me”

Gino vannelli “living inside myself”

So saxy

Oscar-nomimated "The Last Time I Felt Like This" from "Same Time, Next Year" by Johnny Mathis & Jane Olivor. I love them together. Her voice is gorgeous.

Peabo Bryson “if ever you’re in my arms again”

George benson “this masquerade “

I shut this shit down way before Lionel or Adele!

"Sailing", by Christopher Cross

Olivia newton-john and cliff Richard “suddenly”

Michael McDonald “I keep forgettin”

Neil Diamond “Love On The Rocks”

Earth, wind & fire “after the love is gone”

'The Name Of The Game' by Abba. Thisngroup released a lot of Bubblegum but I co sider this song legitimate Soft Rock.

'Broken Hearted Me' by Anne Murray. One of her best and not too saccharine.

And if you like 'Broken Hearted Me' but want a little more testosterone than England Dan & John Ford Coley's original version is pretty damn good too.

'Isn't It Always Love' by Karla Bonoff - Later remade by Nicolette Larson and Lynn Anderson but I prefer the original.

“Weekend in New England” by Barry Manilow. The song is so heartbreaking, personally. I met him in college and our love was not meant to be, at that time. I said goodbye to him at his funeral.

R253 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Quarterflash - Harden My Heart

Cars - Drive

I always liked this one (probably their most famous) from Little River Band.

Speaking of Neil Diamond, Heartlight (inspired by E.T.) has got to be his schmaltziest:

Fred Knoblock & Susan Anton - Killin' Time

It's funny- at the time, I thought the Cars as of "New Wave Rock", probably because of the way they dressed, the hair, and their videos.

We have all failed the DL Reddit queen immensely. She has many notes on all the ways we have failed her.

Olivia Newton John “magic”

Sammy johns “Chevy van”

Leo Sayer “more than I can say”

.....

Robbie Dupree “steal away”

Lady - Kenny Rogers

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

r291, reminded me of the old joke:

Q-How do you get herpes of the eye?

A-By looking for love in all the wrong places.

You want soft & cheesy early 80s tunes OP?

Chances - Air Supply

Some Robbie...

The Sweetest Thing - Juicy Newtons

R.I.P.

Great songwriter!

Her voice makes Janet Jackson's coo sound like Tina Turner screeching......but great songwriter!

Leo Sayer-When I Need You

"The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" - Vicki Lawrence

“Do That To Me One More Time” by Captain &Tennille. In the accompanying video (which I can’t find on YouTube) Tennille walks along the beach, looking like she’s about to board a fancy yacht and Captain’s captain’s hat features prominently as well.

I didn't listen to AM radio much after 1967, so I don't think of these songs as AM, specifically. "Mellow" is the category in which I place the great majority of this music. My song from Boz Scaggs' Silk Degrees is "What Do You Want the Girl to Do?", but to me, it's an album track. Another favorite album is Stevie Wonder's Fulfillingness First Finale, on which I have no idea what the hits, or singles, might have been. The entire album might fit this category.

The song I feel compelled to post this morning is 1968's "Quicksilver Girl" by the Steve Miller Band, who seemed like a completely different band at the time than the one we heard later, in the 1970s. I have no idea whether it played on the radio, however.

Kudos to the guy(s) who posted the Melissa Manchester songs. "Come in from the Rain," "Better Days," and "Midnight Blue" are favorites of mine

Yes I'm ready

Robbie Dupree “hot rod hearts”

We hadn't seen dancing from a white man like that since....well, since Pat Boone!

It might be off by a couple years but I

think it's the sound you're looking for OP =

More soft & cheesy early 80s magic =

I know this group already has several songs listed above but I didn't see this one =

I don't recall any James listed here yet...

Player “baby come back”

Michael Johnson “bluer than blue”

Some Bonnie...

Not well know but a good tune.

‘65 Love Affair

Apple iTunes on your cell > Radio > WABC Aircheck.

Swing Out Sister - Breakout

Johnny Hates Jazz - Shattered Dreams

Alone Again, Naturally - Gilbert O'Sullivan

Benny mardones “into the night”

Paul Davis “sweet life”

Barbra Streisand “woman in love”

A little disco/pop/soft rock.

Bee Gees “love you inside and out”

George benson “turn you love around”

Anyone who listens to SiriusXM on the app, the Yacht Rock Deep Cuts station is VERY good.

John Stewart “gold”

Jay Ferguson “thunder island”

George Benson “breezin”

I love to crank up the cheesy music when I am alone in the car. It doesn't get much cheesier than this, it's a guilty pleasure

r338 here's another great cheesy song

Don McLean “cryin

Gary Wright “love is alive”

Leo

Andrew Gold “lonely boy”

Got to have some Andy Gibb *swoon*

Dave mason “we just disagree”

R344, not a big Andy Gibb fan, but I did like his second Number 1 hit (Love Is) Thicker Than Water. Yes it has the stupidest title of any hit song ever, but the melody is great, especially the fade out ending.

Trivia: That song knocked out his brothers "Stayin Alive" from the number one spot, then he got knocked out of it by his brothers' "Night Fever". In 1978, it was ALL Gibb.

Andy Gibb “love is (thicker than water)”

Nigel Olsson “dancing shoes”

Don't mean to sound like a hall monitor, but several of the recent offerings have been posted MULTIPLE times already. I'm wondering if people know how to use the CRTL+F to search WITHIN a particular thread??

If LB wasn't the Queen of early 80s soft & cheesy

rock than she sure was a princess =

Angels Calling =

Shadow Of Love =

Also the troll who posts Go-Gos or Belinda C in any music thread on DL. They were mainstream pop back then, not adult contemporary or soft rock. Just because it’s muzak now, doesn’t mean it was back then.

Marty balin “hearts”

Jefferson airplane “miracles”

Probably not a full list but Here’s the songs that have been posted more than once.

Magnet and steel Diamond girl Jackie blue Undercover angel Fly like an eagle I just wanna stop Right down the line Do that to me one more time I’d really love to see you tonight 65 love affair Reminiscing Your smiling face You make me feel like dancing Steal away When I need you Baby come back Summer breeze I’m not in love

Get help for your OCD, r356. You must be fun at parties.

Thanks R356. It'll help out some new folks to the thread. I know I won't post any of them!

Poor R353 wants to label a group with 2 or 3 word descriptions.

If that was the case you couldn't post "Rapture" by Blondie to a rap thread since they weren't considered rappers or "Island Of Lost Souls" to a reggae thread because they weren't considered reggae artists.

The above 2 songs that I posted by the Go-Go's would've been played by the soft rock stations in my area because they fit the bill. No one said that they were soft rock artists. Get over your stupid labels.

Jane (& the group) have done some songs about the surf music genre, Belinda did "I Never Wanted A Rich Man' which was country, The Graces did "Tomorrow" which was folk, & Gina has done some songs from House Of Schock that had a country feel to them. Artists dabble in other genres. It happens. Get over it.

OP, since you've gotten so much help, how about posting a link to your Spotify playlist so we can all enjoy it?

Get help for your closed in frankencunt r357. You must smell like shit.

Level 42 - Something About You

It pains me to think of Roxy Music as "soft rock", because we certainly didn't call it that in the early '80s....but I guess it is, now. (sigh)

[quote] It pains me to think of Roxy Music as "soft rock",

I guess the same now applies to Jethro Tull

Just the two of us Grover Washington jr. Andy bill withers

Smokey Robinson being with you.

Hues corporation rock the boat

Skylark wildflower

Silver wham bam shang a lang

Glen Campbell Wichita lineman

"Imaginary Lover" Atlanta Rhythm Section

This one was all over the radio for a couple of months, then vanished forever down the memory hole.

Typical AM late 70's soft rock, written by Randy Goodrum, who also wrote "Bluer Than Blue", "You Needed Me", "It's Sad to Belong", and "Broken Hearted Me", just to name a few.

Gene Cotton - Before My Heart Finds Out

Gene Cotton actually had a number of top 40 singles, including a duet with Kim Carnes, but this is the only one that got close to the top 20.

Hybrid yacht rock/r&b Ray Parker jr. “I still can’t get over loving you”

Keith carradine I’m easy

Yvonne Elliman”s gorgeous cover of “hello stranger”

Apologies the elliman one was already posted. Another gorgeous cover. A taste of honey “sukiyaki”

Stevie wonder send one your love

Lou Rawls you’ll never find another love like mine.

Roberta flack and Donny Hathaway “the closer I get to you”

Cornelius brothers/sister rose too late to turn back now

Spanky and our gang like to get to know you

Chuck mangione “feels so good”

Foreigner waiting for a girl like you

Lobo - Where Were You When I Was Falling in Love

R382, I think that song holds the record for longest time at Number 2 on Billboard without ever hitting the top of the charts . Nine weeks, I think.

"How Much I Feel", by Ambrosia (1978) sums up to me what you described, OP.

This is such an underrated song.

I’d forgotten this great Karla Bonhoff song for years until I heard it a while ago on Easy 99.1 in the Boston area (it’s from 1982 despite the 1990 copyright date on the video). That station, in fact, is a real throwback to the kind of radio stations that played this music the first time around.
