@MN5 That song definitely has some smooth and jazzy elements, but it's not quite there, especially in the vocals and some of the rhythm section. A bit early, like earlier Steely Dan.
By 1980 they were definitely making yacht rock though.
Bit more of a bounce in this one.

BTW, this website collected the scores from the official yacht rock podcast:

@MN5 lol. Admitting liking music in the yacht rock category would be devastating to one’s credibility. @tim save us although I down with whatever.
I think “any ferner” and “credibility” are an uneasy mix at best.

Quite like In This Moment (only heard a song of thiers a few months ago)

Now this is a Real Man’s Voice. And one badass MFer.

One of my favourites from the legend that was Bowie.
And for something more recognisable this one’s always worth a closer listen. The lyrics are quite something. Bowies cocaine period.
BTW I reckon David Sanborn’s sax work on this is as iconic as the line on Gerry Rafferty’s Baker St -

Had to post this now. When it comes to classic one hit wonders this takes the cake
Back the late 80s I saw a band in a West London pub by chance that happened to be Raphael Ravenscroft. The blower of the classic sax line.
I can’t accept that as a one hit wonder when he sung “ Stuck in the Middle with you” ( admittedly with different band members )

@MN5 as you say. Different band. But I guess you have a point.
We started a thread for one hit wonders but fuck it I’ll chuck this here.
Same era and WAY more of a OHW than the above

We've had this discussion before. "Right Down the Line" is also a popular GR song on the same album as "Baker Street".
