Bobby80s replied to Bernard's discussion My first post: how do you define Westcoast music?"What fascinates me, is how major artists like Carole King can do great Westcoast tracks later in their career (You're The One Who Knows, 1977), but most of her fans only know her earlier work, which had more minimal production. Same deal with…"
Peter replied to Bernard's discussion My first post: how do you define Westcoast music?"I agree to some point with Rudy Bosman... Westcoast music looking from musical view is a blend of primarily Rock, Jazz, Funk and sometimes other musical genres but with very often high class production, melodies and arrangements and played…"

Max replied to Bernard's discussion My first post: how do you define Westcoast music?"I think that Michael's Human Nature is westcoast. Like the first Lionel Richie Album, but Steve Wonder no. It's Soul.

Scott said… - Hey pal. There are so many great, relatively unknown westcoast artists out there. I rearranged my playlist to put a few of my favorites at teh top. (Although all 99 songs are among my favorites). If you want to start exploring some classic westcoast, I'd start with bands like Neilson-Pierson, Greg Guidry, Airplay, anything with Jay Graydon, and work your way out. Feel free to look over my playlist and sample songs from there and search the internet for more by each artist. You'll find that certain musicians found their way onto many of the westcoast songs...Jeff Porcaro, Jay Graydon, Steve Lukather, etc.
