One of the enduring myths perpetuated by my (b. 1955) generation is that pop music in the 1970s sucked, a silly notion that’s almost solely backed up by one word: disco. @CrispinSartwell, @MoustacheClubUS, @Jeffrey89245983.https://www.splicetoday.com/music/pop-music-was-awful-in-the-70s-says-who#.XiszQWjxyiw.twitter …

Soft rock had its place too. It was a chill out reaction to the turbulent 60s.

Doesn't Joni Mitchell qualify as soft rock?

Some of her early stuff is on the cusp, but no.

There is a gray area where folk and soft rock come together. I think Joni Mitchell is more folk, but a lot of John Denver's music may live there.

I was struggling to come up w/ what artist reflects the pinnacle of soft rock & you just reminded me. I will argue that John Denver is that pinnacle & that his entire body of work is totally worthless. Burl Ives is like Jimi Hendrix compared to John Denver & thats not sarcasm.

To me, Christopher Cross and Michael McDonald's Doobie Brothers are prime examples. I enjoy a few John Denver tunes, being from W. Va, it's a state law. But agree about the Burl Ives comparison lol
