Daryl Hall, part of the famous duo Hall & Oates, expresses frustration over the yacht rock label, which he believes misrepresents his work. In a recent podcast, he criticized the genre's origins, dismissing it as a creation of California humor. Hall contends that the genre's criteria are vague and fail to capture the essence of his music, which he describes as smooth, mellow R&B. He feels categorized among artists like Toto and Steely Dan wrongly, arguing that the labels such as 'soft rock' do not accurately reflect his artistry.
Yeah, he's watching you and is pissed off. Daryl Hall...doesn't find conversations about the genre to be worthy of his time or respect.
Hall's irritation, ostensibly, stems from the haphazard criteria that has come to define yacht rock as we know it.
