Show Topic: The Mellow Side of Soft Rock 🎶
In the last episode of my podcast aired on Thursday, April 17th, 2025, we slowed things down for a warm and nostalgic journey into the world of Soft Rock, a genre that shaped the airwaves in the late ’60s and soared through the ’70s.
Soft Rock blends folk storytelling and the smooth instrumentation of pop and rock, delivering soothing harmonies, introspective lyrics, and mellow vibes.
Born in both the U.S. and the UK, this sound became the backdrop for romantic ballads, emotional reflections, and easy-listening classics that are still beloved today.
This episode featured timeless tracks by legendary soft rock and mellow pop artists, including:
America, Bread, Chicago, Air Supply, The Doobie Brothers, Seals and Crofts, The Carpenters, Chad and Jeremy, The Association, Ambrosia, Lobo, John Denver, Jim Croce, Harry Chapin, England Dan & John Ford Coley, The Hollies, Kansas, Harry Nilsson, Poco, Gerry Rafferty, Gordon Lightfoot, Boz Scaggs, Supertramp, James Taylor, REO Speedwagon, and more.
Whether you’re looking to relax or reminisce, this is the perfect episode to ease into the weekend with the mellow melodies of soft rock, or any other time of the week.
📆 This is one you won’t want to miss. Tune in as soon as the recording goes live and enjoy the smooth sounds that defined a generation. 🎧
