Yacht Rock “Dockumentary”

[FAUlty Gator]

Holy hell. I wish this thing was 15 hours long. So awesome if you like music. Learned a lot as well. Great stories. The overlap and influence of that kind of music and those artists is pretty incredible. I will watch this twice a year for the rest of my life.

On Prime- MAX. An HBO original. You’re welcome if you haven’t already seen it.

I hate that type of music so much I will never watch it. And I consume a lot of Bill Simmons media weekly. Just can't do it.

I enjoy some Steely Dan, Toto and others. I'll give it a watch.

I hate it too. And in fact, most of the music I love was a reaction against that stuff in the same era. But I loved the documentary because I'm a huge music fan in general and OP describes why pretty well what's enjoyable about it.

Never heard of it, but can't wait to watch it. Thanks for the tip.

The recurring theme of a lot of these type docs leads to the fact that the best music from 1950-1990 was played with the best session players serving as the heart of these songs.

And this might be a spoiler alert but…

I really liked how, when these guys thought their careers were dead and they were the least cool, the g-funk era of hip hop (which I actually like) not only sampled them like crazy, but embraced them when that genre was about as cool as it got.
