    Ahaha!!!, that's true but that's a pejorative term. Not sure those artists would appreciate it.

    i think neil diamond is too edgy and in your face to be considered yacht rock.

    Neil Diamond is a hit machine with the heart of a rock-and-roller. Unfortunately, he's trapped in a prison of gentle grooves.

    Take in the last half of this -- see around 1:50 on -- and you'll see a great black metal cover that's never been made.

    Dude was very weird. Check out the band Super Diamond live sometime if you want to have a blast.

    If I had to pick one genre that's not too specific and not too all-encompassing I would just say soft rock.
