It’s kind of silly." I disagree. It's easy to identify what it's not. And while what's included in it is somewhat flexible -- something I see as a strength, not a weakness -- it definitely includes the smooth, danceable, yacht-rock sounds of the bands I mention upthread.

Overtired now. “I would be careful about the ‘Balearic’ term — it doesn’t really mean anything specific and can therefore be applied to anything, so if something is described that way it doesn’t really tell you anything about it.

Plus if you wanted to buy the disc you would pay $46 at import prices.
