Ik heb een gebrek aan muziektheoretische kennis, dus ik doe alles op gevoel.
Maar ik heb toch even een youtube video opengegooid waarin jazz akkoorden uit de doeken worden gedaan, dus wie weet ben ik de volgende keer beter voorbereid..

Waar ligt bijvoorbeeld Tears For Fears - Advice For The Young At Heart op het spectrum? Misschien moet ik gewoon eens die podcast aanhoren, maar ik haat podcasts.

Doei

Deze maar dan:

James Ingram & Micheal McDonald - Yah Mo B There
Micheal Jackson - Human Nature
Patty Austin & James Ingram - Baby, Come to Me
Steely Dan - Kid Charlemagne
Toto - Rosanna

Bedenk me trouwens achteraf dat It's all Gone of On the Beach van Chris Rea ook prima hadden gekund. Of zie ik dat verkeerd?

Wordt er tegen Human Nature gestemd omdat het niet yachtig genoeg is of omdat jullie het lied niet leuk vinden?

Voor mijzelf sprekend ben ik niet kapot van Human Nature.
Maar bijvoorbeeld Steely Dan's Kid Charlemagne, wat ik best waardeer, vind ik niet echt passen.

Ik had Josephine in mijn lijstje gezet. En Level 42 overigens ook. Sommige mensen zouden echter zeggen dat Britse artiesten nooit echt yacht rock kunnen zijn.



Niet yachtig genoeg, wel leuk.

Andrew Gold - Lonely Boy
Boz Scaggs - Lowdown
Boz Scaggs - What Can I Say
Daryll Hall & John Oates - Kiss On My List

Young Gun Silver Fox - Midnight In Richmond

Niet leuk is nog zacht uitgedrukt.
Ik zal je mijn harde uitdrukking maar besparen.

Het was nog best lastig om het aantal terug te brengen naar 10.
37 tracks: dat zou volgens de losgelaten regeltjes een eliminatielijst van 17 tracks mogen betekenen. Was wel makkelijker geweest.

Boz Scaggs - Lowdown
Christopher Cross - Sailing
Donald Fagen - I.G.Y.
Earth, Wind & Fire - After The Love Has Gone 5

Einde tweede ronde.

Het scheelde een haartje of de hardcore Yacht Rock band Toto had ontbroken in de finale. Vijf nummers kregen 6 of meer stemmen. 16 nummers ontvingen meer dan 7 stemmen. Deze ontbreken in de finale die vijf met 6 stemmen mogen allemaal mee.
Deze 16 vinden we (net) niet goed of niet yacht rock genoeg:

15 Young Gun Silver Fox - Midnight In Richmond
12 Earth, Wind & Fire - After The Love Has Gone
12 Jay Ferguson - Thunder Island
12 Michael Jackson - Human Nature
11 Air Supply - All Out of Love
11 Raydio - You Can't Change That

10 Little River Band - Reminiscing
10 Patti Austin & James Ingram - Baby, Come to Me
9 Kenny Loggins - This Is It
9 Luther Vandross - Never Too Much
9 Seals & Crofts - Summer Breeze
8 Christopher Cross - Sailing
8 Daryll Hall & John Oates - Kiss On My List
7 Grover Washington Jr. Feat. Bill Withers - Just The Two Of US

Deze vijf overleven met 6 stemmen:
Boz Scaggs - Lowdown
James Ingram & Michael McDonald - Yah Mo B There
Steely Dan - Deacon Blues
Steely Dan - Kid Charlemagne
Toto - Rosanna

Geen Steely Dan/Fagen hierbij? Let wel; ik aanbid Steely Dan, maar daarin mist wel de cheesiness die voor mij bij goede yacht rock hoort. Er moet ook een zweem van te open blousjes, cocktails en borsthaar in zitten en dat hoor ik bij de heren Fagen/Becker niet terug.

Kijk dat is een mooie nieuwe definitie Marco dB:

1. Michael McDonald - Sweet Freedom
2. George Benson - Give Me The Night
3. Daryll Hall & John Oates - I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)
4. Michael McDonald - I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)

9. Christopher Cross - Ride Like The wind
10. Boz Scaggs - Lowdown

1. Steve Winwood - While You See A Chance
2. The Doobie Brothers - What A Fool Believes
