One of my favorite re-edit twelves from last year tackled two of my favorite "non-so-guilty" pleasures in Mad Mats' The Blue Eyed Soul EP. On this release, Mad Mats' reworks both Kenny Loggins' "This Is It" and The Doobie Brothers' "What a Fool Believes", two tracks that I enjoy even without any re-tooling. That being said, Mad Mats' does an amazing job on this record at giving these two cuts a refreshing and new feel. My favorite of the two tracks in "This Is It", Mad Mats' adds some additional percussion grooves to give the song even more "push" for the dancefloor. Regardless, this is an outstanding release that I highly recommend checking out. Enjoy! Kenny Loggins - This Is It (Mad Mats Rework)

There's a treasure trove of "lite rock"/"lite FM" type stuff from the late 70's/early 80's, and this one is definitely one of the best.
For an amusing take on "yacht rock", check out this amusing video on Youtube:
