Episode 23.13: CoMFY: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Listen Later

Thanks to Listener Dennis, the yacht rock community has a new acronym to bandy about: CoMFY! “Commonly Mistaken for Yacht (Rock)!” are those songs that we repeatedly see being identified as yacht rock but in reality are anything but. This week the guys examine the concept of CoMFY and run through a number of songs to debate which are the good misses, which are the bad misses, and which songs are just plain ugly when mistaken for yacht rock.

In the process, we come up with a few new acronyms of our own. Tune in to learn what a WIMBY is and what an OGRE might be!
