Soft Rock is just a slogan for an Adult Contemporary format. There is no "soft rock" industry classification. Thus, this article should be combined with the [[Adult Contemporary]] article. Does a Wikipedian know how to add that tag, so it can be discussed? [[User:Goeverywhere|Goeverywhere]] 05:44, 27 September 2006 (UTC) |

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)
- 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.

- Nice work. The article already looks a lot better, and is more informative. Korny O'Near 02:00, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
