The term easy listening is often incorrectly applied to other genres such as soft rock, smooth jazz, ambient music or new age music.
It made me realize I don't know what easy listening is. And I don't think this thread is helping much, with the wide variety of styles.

Not that I was yearning to get into easy listening.

Oh damn, that Chicago song...brings back memories. Must download and add to my nostalgia playlist!

Yeah, it really doesn't qualify as easy listening, but since Easy is part of the title and I love the song to death, I decided to throw it out there.

Easy listening is really just a commercial radio demographic that gives 40 something post mid-life crisis sufferers a soundtrack to ruminate over their regrets, could-have-beens, and whether or not they still believe in life after love while they pound terrible coffee and consume mass quantities of donuts and antacids inside their cubicle universe.
