California "Mellow Mafia"

[tdfwiner]

Wasn't sure what forum this would fit into best, so I went with the obvious. Everyone has heard the term California Mellow Mafia used to describe certain bands, and obviously there isn't an official list or anything, but what bands/musicians are usually considered "mellow mafioso"? Also, what years, roughly, would it cover (my guess, around 1973-1981?)? This is what comes to mind for me, am I leaving anyone out?........


Fleetwood Mac (as a band and solo)
The Beach Boys (band and solo)
The Eagles (band and solo)
Jackson Browne
Crosby, Stills & Nash
Bob Seger
Walter Egan
Doobie Brothers (?)
Warren Zevon
Bob Welch
James Taylor (?)
