What is "soft rock"

n. A comparatively unaggressive, melodic rock music genre in which the arrangement and lyrics are emphasized more than the beat; a reaction against hard rock.

Soft rock or light rock is a style of music that uses the techniques of rock music to compose a softer, more toned-down sound.

Soft Rock was the last official release by Minneapolis band Lifter Puller. Released in 2002, it was a compilation of nearly all of the band's songs—save those found on their final studio album, Fiestas and Fiascos—and a few other odds and ends. The version of "Lie Down on Landsdowne" contained on Soft Rock differs from that found on Fiascos.
