The following is a list of notable soft rock bands and artists and their most notable soft rock songs. This
list should not include artists whose main style of music is anything other than soft rock, even if they have
released one or more songs that fall under the "soft rock" genre. (Such songs can be added
under Category:Soft rock songs.)
Artists which have released music of various different genres throughout their career including soft rock as
one of their main styles, may be included together with their notable soft rock songs.
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help
by adding missing items with reliable sources.

"Just as I Am" was their last major entry on the charts, reaching #19 on the Billboard Hot 100, while their interpretation
of the Jennifer Rush song "The Power of Love" became a minor hit, reaching #68.
