I never hear Carefree Highway by Gordon Lightfoot unless I play it, and it's one of my favorites by him.

This song about a dog dying used to make my brother cry (probably still does). If you wanted him to leave the room all you had to do was break out the K-Tel record, and put this song on. 
<--- my brother. This song made my horse loving sister split.

Jackson Brown's first album is a monument to the genre:
Doctor My Eyes
Song for Adam
Rock Me On the Water
Jamaica Say You Will
Looking Into You
Doctor My Eyes

Rock Me On the Water

And then the is the Carole King Tapestry album- just take the entire album and stick every song on.

Not quite a light rock song - but I present Children of the Sun - Billy Thorpe (released in 1979). Definitely a song from my misspent youth.
Village Idiot
Pokerguy
Nick Lowe - Cruel to Be Kind (1979)
Bogart

One of my personal favorites. The classiest booty call ever.
Just ran through "Yacht Rock" on You Tube. Amazing stuff. Spot on.
There is a ton of Christopher Cross and others on my "Bedtime Playlist" on Amazon Prime.

Great playlist. I knew this already without really articulating it, but as a bass player, I really dig these songs because the absence of four or five overdubbed guitar parts (often with distortion) really allows the bass to shine. And without the guitars eating up so much sonic space, the bass can be a bit busier and that leads to more interesting lines. McCartney's bass on "Silly Love Songs":

Sounds like a Rick that he's playing on that tune, too, and I had completely forgotten that.

Agreed - very underrated band. I hear them from time to time on SiriusXM Deep Tracks, and they have a lot of interesting stuff beyond the few hits that are typically played on commercial radio.

He has rocked that hairdo since adolescence. He seemed ageless for decades, but he now is showing some age. Prince still looks like he has been in a time capsule for the last three decades. Just recently he is finally showing a line or two under his eyes.And a guy that remains committed to the same hairstyle for over 40 years.timschochet said:Come on, the guy epitomizes 70s light rock.

Yeah, I've seen some recent pics of Jackson and age is catching up to him like most. Really, I'm just jealous that he's managed to keep his hair the same all these years.He has rocked that hairdo since adolescence.

Yeah, Dennis De Young was always writing these sappy ballads- "Sing For the Day" is another. It used to piss Tommy Shaw off. Tommy wanted to ROCK!
Jayrok
Footballguy
Yeah, Tommy hated the soft stuff Dennis wanted to do (and roboto). Babe was their first #1, I think, and Dennis also came out with "First Time" which was another ballad that was doing great as a single but Tommy didn't want it on the album and threatened to leave the band. Money talks I guess and those were big hits for Styx.

I actually saw Styx in Myrtle Beach, SC, last week at the House of Blues. I've seen them a few times before but this was the best show I've ever seen of them. It was fantastic.
Tommy Shaw still rocks the guitar like he always has. JY is great too.
No "Babe" or "First Time", or "Don't let it End" in the set.
My favorites of the set were Crystal Ball, Blue Collar Man, and Renegade. Was my favorite band in the late 70s/early 80s.

You win simply on the level of obscurity. Pretty crazy to think that you know both of those images and then match them is savantastic.
