I've always been a fan of "soft" rock, as it was referred to at the time. So many great songs on this list! My own favorites here are:

Stop Draggin' My Heart Around - Nicks/Petty

You Belong to Me - Carly Simon

Hold Me - Fleetwood Mac

Head Over Heels - Tears For Fears

I Can't Tell You Why - Eagles

I didn't know Alanis Morissette music is now considered to be yacht rock! Sounds like the term has stretched until the end of the 20th Century!

A few weeks ago, I started compiling my own ultimate yacht rock playlist and now I’m going to work on finishing that so I can include it in a new ultimate yacht rock piece you’ve inspired me to write! Between your piece here and Bryan and Dan’s comments, I know what I have to do. The assignment is clear. I’m psyched about this! Thanks, Matt!
