08.03.12 | List isn't ranked except the top 3, which has remained the same for a while now. |
MO

YankeeDudel
08.03.12 | Good dad rock |
JamieTwort
08.03.12 | Thanks MO.

JamieTwort
08.03.12 | @Yankee: So prog and blues is dad rock now? I mean yeah they're old but old doesn't equal 'dad rock'. 4 and 8 are the only ones that could really fit that description. |
Jethro42
08.03.12 | Excellent top3
Nice to see 5 (a pesonal top 5) and 7. |
JamieTwort
08.03.12 | Thanks Jethro. Knew you'd approve of most of these choices. |
Weesnaw
08.03.12 | hell yeah, latimer is so awesome |
JamieTwort
08.03.12 | Indeed. |
KILL
08.03.12 | best list ever????????????????????? |
omnipanzer
08.03.12 | Tommy Bolin (of course) |
JamieTwort
08.03.12 | Almost included Bolin but I decided I had to include Martin Barre instead. I listened to some of Going Back To Colarado and it's pretty good but I definitely prefer their self-titled album. |
YankeeDudel
08.03.12 | Bro Jamie my dad jams all these, so it is indeed dad rock. But dad rock rules. Genesis has been his fav band since he heard Watcher Of The Skies on fm radio driving alone at night back in 72. All he jams to is prog and blues. I mean what do you know about MANFRED MANN's EARTH BAND. |
Nagrarok
08.03.12 | An unmistakable JT list, I've heard at least one album from all of these. Hackett, Gallagher and Latimer are definitely favourites of mine as well. Honestly I'm not too familiar with Moore except for 1, what in particular would you recommend? Still got to check out early Scorpions as well. |
JamieTwort
08.03.12 | @Yankee: Fair enough bro. When someone says 'dad rock' I ususally think of classic/hard rock or hair metal (which I like too). |
JamieTwort
08.03.12 | @Nag: For Gary Moore I'd probably suggest checking out After Hours next, it's the same style as Still Got the Blues and almost as good. If you want to explore his hard rock/metal era I highly recommend the live album We Want Moore!, which shows a completely different side to his guitar playing. I also recommend looking into his work with Colosseum II, which is bassically jazz fusion with a hint of prog, either Electric Savage or War Dance would be a good starting point for them.
As for Scorpions, In Trance and Taken By Force would be good places to start with the Roth era. |
TheNotrap
08.03.12 | Great list JT.
Gary Moore is definitely my favourite here. His raw street vibe is very unique. One of the most overlooked guitar players indeed. |
Nagrarok
08.03.12 | Really don't think Moore classifies as 'overlooked' tbh. And I think I'll go for that live album then Jamie, I'm more interested in hearing that rockier side. |
TheNotrap
08.03.12 | In US. |
YankeeDudel
08.03.12 | First time I saw Gary Moore was in that 2004 50th anniversary of the Stratocaster concert. He killed it and was making funny O faces the whole time. The bottle was the death of him. |
JamieTwort
08.03.12 | Thanks Notrap. Gary Moore is definitely overlooked on this site. |
Nagrarok
08.03.12 | @Notrap: Ah, ok. I guess the situation is similar to Gallagher's, who wasn't too famous in the US either. Both are legends in Europe. |
TheNotrap
08.03.12 | Yeah. Moore always had a pretty solid fan base in Europe.
I remember an article about Moore in the 90's. Many US guitar players didn't know Gary Moore's work. Like "Gary Moore? Who's that guy?" |
YankeeDudel
08.03.12 | Joe Bonamassa is getting a lot of hype here now. Hes good but all of the sudden hes all over the place. |
JamieTwort
08.03.12 | Joe Bonamassa is definitely the most popular blues guitarist around at the moment and rightly so, he releases quality album after quality album. |
JamieTwort
08.03.12 | "And I think I'll go for that live album then Jamie, I'm more interested in hearing that rockier side."
In that case I also recommend checking out Run For Cover and Wild Frontier for some of his more well-known hard rock material. |
NightProwler
08.03.12 | Great list - 1, 2 and 8 are among my favorites as well, and I also have great respect for Barre and Roth |
CaptainSpacker
08.03.12 | @Jamie Prog and blues is exactly what I'd I call Dad music, I'm not knocking it or anything, but every Dad I've met likes their prog |
Nagrarok
08.03.12 | ^my own dad doesn't like prog, I tried to get him into Gabriel-era Genesis since he digs the Collins stuff, among other classic progressive bands, but he didn't care much about any of it. |
JamieTwort
08.03.12 | Thanks NightProwler. @Spacker: Yeah I see your point, it's just that when I hear the term 'dad ROCK' I automatically think of mainstream hard and classic rock bands like Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake etc. |
KjSwantko
08.03.12 | Nice list, Jamie |
JamieTwort
08.03.12 | Thanks KJ. |

08.04.12 | very classic rock |
Ovrot
08.04.12 | Moore m/
Where is shawn lane? |
JamieTwort
08.04.12 | @Fonz: Indeed. When it comes to guitar playing I prefer guitarists who play with emotion and concentrate on composition and melody as opposed to speed and technicality, so I guess it's no surprise that my list is predominantly made up of blues and prog guitarists as opposed to metal or jazz players.

I'm not too familiar with Shawn Lane so I'll check out some of his stuff. |
