It dominated pop music. Then became a punch line. Now soft rock's influence is felt everywhere from hip-hop samples to TikTok.

Ep1. Reign
After Vietnam and Watergate, the musical question of a generation morphs from "Are You Experienced?" to "Have You Never Been Mellow?" As America gets in touch with itself, major artists of the era and today relive the '70s tsunami of soft rock.

Ep2. Ruin
Trashed by the music press, ridiculed in pop culture, left as roadkill by MTV, soft hits rock bottom in the 1980s. Air Supply and Rupert "Piña Colada" Holmes deal with milquetoast accusations as careers plummet and soft rock descends into irrelevance.

Ep3. Resurrection
The most fantastic resurrection in music history begins when Warren G samples Michael McDonald then Yacht Rock sets sail. Now a staple of hip hop, movies, TV and social media, soft rockers are finally getting the respect they've always deserved.
