HBO documentary, "Yacht Rock"

A very interesting exploration of a musical genre that was popular in the 70s and early 80s highlighted by such acts as The Doobie Brothers, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Christopher Cross, Steely Dan, and Toto. I had no idea how ubiquitous and influential the band Toto was on popular music in the 70s and early 80s. They are truly legendary.

It's a great documentary. If you're a fan of this music, it's a walk down memory lane.

I listen to satellite radio in the car. I usually am hooked on the 60's channel and 50's. But sometimes tune in to Yacht rock..(or whatever they call it). It's nice easy listening music.
