Complete List Of Soft Rock Bands And Artists

Feature Photo: Arthur D’Amario III / Shutterstock.com

Our Complete List Of Soft Rock Bands And Artists presents a list of artists that often fall into the soft rock category. Defining the soft rock category can be a challenge because many of the artists that can fall into the category cross over into multiple genres. At times there is a very fine line between pop artists, folk artists, soft rock artists and even country artists. In many instances, multiple artists can be classified as both. Groups and artists like the Beatles, Billy Joel, Elton John, and more can be classified as both pop and soft rock artists as they have released songs that easily fall into those separate categories. The Eagles can be defined at times as soft rock, pop, or country. Their music was that diverse, even in individual songs.

In the end, if a band has released multiple songs that can fit into the soft rock category we have included them on this list. That does not mean they can not be included on other lists such as pop artists and more. It just means that they released multiple songs that have fallen into the soft rock category, thereby reserving them a spot on this list. Pages like this are about promoting artists and music. If someone is searching for a particular sound, we want to offer them as many choices as we can while also presenting the history of all types of music.
