(Finished March 8th, 2026) Part 5 of The Best Ever Songs of Soft Rock

Hello,

Two years later I’m continuing this blog series. I”ve decided to include any and all mellow, soft rock and lovely ballads for this blog series. Any song that has a mellow, relaxing feel to them is eligible to be included here.

What exactly is soft rock, is it the Eagles, Dan Fogelberg or Steely Dan. Or is it Air Supply, Bread, James Taylor and Carole King. How hard does the music have to be before it’s no longer soft rock? Well I have no answer to these questions, but I will be presenting several selections of what most people will agree is soft rock. As always enjoy!
