Va - 100 Greatest Soft Rock Anthems Ever -2019-...

"Sailing" – Christopher Cross (Disc 2, Track 4). Worst Track: The mediocre "Baker Street" cover (Disc 3, Track 11). Most Likely to Make You Cry: "Leader of the Band" – Dan Fogelberg.

Think of it as the sonic equivalent of a Bruce Weber photograph: sun-drenched, slightly melancholic, impossibly smooth.
