The raw power of really smooth music
If you've had the misfortune of interacting with me over the past two weeks, you've heard me talk about the smooth brilliance of Yacht Rock. Created by the people who brought to bear VH1's apparently short-lived Acceptable.TV, the show's 10 episodes catalog the heady days of 1976-1984 where hell-raisers like Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, and Steely Dan lived like Rock Gods... smooth, Yacht-music-creating Rock Gods. To try to explain the greatness of the shows is to fail. So, here's one of the best episodes.
Like other great programming (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia comes to mind), you have to give it some time before its brilliance sinks in.

That Oates putting the muscle to Hall would have been a whole lot funnier if I knew any H&O lyrics.
