message: Why does Piano Metal redirect to this? How does it have literally anything to do with soft rock? metal of any format is the antithesis of 'soft rock' this is common knowledge  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.28.243.251 (talk) 11:52, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

message: I removed a bunch of artists from the article, but they got re-inserted. Some of these make no sense. The Beatles? Simon & Garfunkel? The Supremes? They stopped recording before soft rock was even invented. Others just don't fit the category. Not everything that's "easy listening" is soft rock. R&B like Boyz II Men and New Age like Enya are their own genres. Korny O'Near 08:19, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Too many artists listed 

message: Soft Rock is just a slogan for an Adult Contemporary format. There is no "soft rock" industry classification. Thus, this article should be combined with the Adult Contemporary article. Does a Wikipedian know how to add that tag, so it can be discussed? Goeverywhere 05:44, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Soft Rock vs. Adult Contemporary 

message: The examples of soft rock songs/singers is overly long. When I sorted it into a list I only expected a short sample, but I guess some editors decided to put every soft rock song/singer out there. I'm putting a clean up tag and a note not to add further more. It's bloated as it is. ResurgamII 14:00, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Does the quote by comedian George Carlin serve any purpose other than to express an editor's distaste for soft rock? Does anyone mind if I remove it?

thread_title:  Nomination of [[:Portal:Soft Rock]] for deletion 

message: I've been working to improve this article by adding info on some significant artists and songs, notably in the mid-60s The Byrds and The Turtles. Also added mention of Neil Young's "Heart of Gold" from 1972, as well as a paragraph on Charlie Rich's 1973 hits "Behind Closed Doors" and "The Most Beautiful Girl". I had even included a quote about Charlie Rich by Greil Marcus in Mystery Train. The removal of my edits is seeming to be malicious, as though someone is claiming ownership of this article.

replies: text: The last removal was of content either not referenced or the songs you mentioned were not sourced as soft rock in their respective articles. Thanks for your good faith edits nonetheless. ~ Hiddenstranger (talk) 02:52, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
