blazer rock

Popular rock music ca. 1985 to 1989 that includes crisp, crisp drum beats and usually a horn section. Easy to identify artists of this genre because one or more of them will be wearing a blazer and/or sporting a mullet.

Steve Winwood, "Roll With It", a perfect blazer rock album
Rod Stewart, "Infatuation" era
Robert Palmer, any of his stuff
Don Henley, "Dirty Laundry to "The End of the Innocence" (sometimes the blazer can be used to make the artist seem more serious)
Power Station
Genesis, which then spawns Peter Gabriel in all of his blazer glory
