I don't have enough in my playlist.

I'm looking for something along the lines of Foreigner's "Waiting for a Girl Like You", White Snake "Is This Love",etc. I prefer soft rock from the 70's & 80's but any decade is fine.

Thx

So, are you thinking more "power ballads" over "soft rock?" There is a difference to me.

This compilation seems to be the answer to your prayers:

For 70s Soft Rock, you just swerved directly into SoulAlive territory.

Some of this material bore the label Soft-Rock...

Bread (one of the best and most successful examples of this sound):
It Don't Matter to Me
The Guitar Man
If
Make it With You
Baby I'm A Want You
Diary
Everything I Own
Sweet Surrender

Fooled Around and Fell in Love - Elvin Bishop
Lonely Boy - Andrew Gold
Ride Captain Ride - Blues Image
Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head - B.J. Thomas
One - Three Dog Night
Hello It's Me - Todd Rundgren
Nights in White Satin - The Moody Blues
I'm Not in Love - 10cc
So Into You - Atlanta Rhythm Section
I Just Wanna Stop - Gino Vannelli
Midnight Feels Right - Starbuck
Magic - Pilot
Shannon - Henry Gross
Save It For a Rainy Day - Stephen Bishop
Let Your Love Flow - The Bellamy Brothers
Go All the Way - The Raspberries
Behind Closed Doors - Charlie Rich
Green Eyed Lady - Sugarloaf
Little More Love - Olivia Newton-John
Midnight at the Oasis - Maria Muldaur
Whenevery I Call You Friend - Kenny Loggins

...There were quite a few artists (some that you wouldn't expect) that fell into that category.


The musical freedom unleashed during the 60s provided fertile ground for the further fusions that would occur during the 70s. (Country-Rock, Power-Pop, etc.)

Music for adventurous listeners

Tribal Records

"To Be With You" - Mr Big

You're welcome.

Hmmm... If AOR fullfills your definition of "soft rock" I would recommend Toto or Dire Straits. And allways remember sensual instrumentals of Carlos Santana, Samba pa ti particularly. Besides, even hard rock bands such as Aerosmith have impressive ballads like "Dream on" or "I don't wanna miss a thing". And then there is a one album you must definitly have: Carole King's Tapestry.

This was a compilation of soft rock songs from the 1970's I made before I got a huge mp3 player. I burned them to CD-R and called it "70's AM Mellow Gold: Vol. 1".

Summer Breeze - Seals & Crofts

Precious and Few - Climax

I'm Not In Love - 10cc

Year of the Cat - Al Stewart

I'd Really Love To See You Tonight - England Dan & John Ford Coley

Dream Weaver - Gary Wright

Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty

Drift Away - Dobie Gray

(Baby) Fallin' In Love - Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds

When I Need You - Leo Sayer

Miracles - Jefferson Starship

Wildfire - Michael Martin Murphey

I Go Crazy - Paul Davis

Baby Come Back - Player

Crazy Love - Poco

Just Remeber I Love You - Firefall

Still The One - Orleans

On and On - Steven Bishop

How Much I Feel - Ambrosia

Escape (The Pina Colada Song) - Rupert Holmes

I could go on, but it would take all night just to list the 70's and 80's tracks, let alone the 90's.

I normally get really pissed when an informercial comes on, and they seem to run incessantly on my weekend TV channels, but when a Time/Life infomercial about various pop/R&B music collections from the 1960's onward come on, I watch them to catch up on what music I have on my mp3 player and which ones I need to download.

Back when I didn't have cable the 11:00pm Time Life infomercial on Ion was appointment TV.
