Jefferson Starship “Miracles”. ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” is soft rock to me. I don’t feel a dance beat even though it is always classed as disco. Kansas “Dust in the Wind”.
I use the term soft rock for soothing or relaxing popular music as opposed to hard rock which has a pounding beat, discordant sound. I think of ballads as being deeply emotional, while soft rock is haunting or melancholy. Bubble gum has teenage themes and catchy hooks.
