Too many artists listed

I removed a bunch of artists from the article, but they got re-inserted. Some of these make no sense. The Beatles? Simon & Garfunkel? The Supremes? They stopped recording before soft rock was even invented. Others just don't fit the category. Not everything that's "easy listening" is soft rock. R&B like Boyz II Men and New Age like Enya are their own genres. Korny O'Near 08:19, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm..

The Beatles' "If I Fell" does seem to sound very 'soft-rocky'. Dave Clark Five also had a hit with "Because". Don't forget about the Bee Gees' 1960's material with songs such as 'Spicks and Specks' (a poppy yet soft-rock sound), 'Could It Be' or 'Three Kisses of Love'. Don't know why 98 Degrees or All 4 One were thrown in there by that user. This genre does indeed confuse alot of people.

My idea is to erase the list altogether and simply put artist/singers in alphabetical order with an example of a song or songs, so we know why they were thrown into the soft rock category in the first place.

Example:

"Air Supply - Here I Am
"Aerosmith - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
"Billy Vera and The Beaters - At This Moment
"Chicago - I Don't Want To Live Without Your Love
"The Eagles - Take It To The Limit
"Smokey Robinson - Just To See Her
"Steve Perry - Foolish Heart

etc etc

I'll go ahead and do that now.
