04.14.16 | I'm stuck in the past. I can't bring myself to listen to anything after the 80s for some reason. I'm discovering all this great music but at the same time there's all these new albums I need to check out like Deftones, Polyenso, Weezer, and O'brother. |

04.14.16 | please do not refer to this as dad rock, there are at least 4 different legitimate genres in the list, it is so much better than the negative term used to describe it, much of it is far more advanced musically than anything being done today, it would be like calling pop punk, pussy rock or little bitch rock |
tempest--
04.14.16 | i will from now on be calling pop punk little bitch rock, thank you wham |

04.14.16 | In '93 Floyd, The Who and all the greats were deemed 'dad rock' 23yrs have past and nothings changed despite the 20yr gap between '70 and '93.
It's because fuck all decent stuff has been produced I tells ya. |
wham49
04.14.16 | great music is great music no matter how old it is, the kids thnk it is bad because it is old, I try to turn on as many as possible at my school, I ask what they are listening to, and then give them the real version of whatever new band they are listening to |
wham49
04.14.16 | zak, never heard the dad rock thing until I got on here 2 years ago, I was a freshman in 93, and was digging this stuff, except there was a little better new music to listen to. |

wham49
04.14.16 | no shit lpftw most of these bands are just that, timeless great music light years ahead of the stupid shit being made today, most of it anyway, maybe forigner or journey and fleetwood mac, can be dad rock, still a deragatory term to use for them as well |

LotusFlower
04.14.16 | Wham, dad Rock isn't a derogatory term used to downplay old rock albums... It's a term for people like you. Lol. |
Sowing

YetAnotherBrick
04.14.16 | lol at how much more outcry the term "dad rock" gets on here than the term "faggot." get your priorities straight
great list. most of these albums don't age |
SCREAM!
04.14.16 | lol lpftw & wham need to chill the fvck out
Also, check Rainbow and Budgie man. You'll dig I guarantee |
SCREAM!
04.14.16 | "In '93 Floyd, The Who and all the greats were deemed 'dad rock' 23yrs have past and nothings changed despite the 20yr gap between '70 and '93."
So basically this stuff should now be referred to as grand-dad rock and we can sstart referring to Nirvana, Soundgarden, etc as New Wave of Dad Rock? |
wham49
04.14.16 | yes granddad rock,
and yes it is dad rock is deragatory, and I was listening to it before I was a dad
how about timeless rock or something cooler than dad rock that sounds like shit |
LotusFlower
04.14.16 | Im calling it gran-dad Rock now |
SCREAM!
04.14.16 | Dad rock is basically a joke term on here anyway. Not really worth getting upset about |
LotusFlower
04.14.16 | Also it's attributed usually to people who claim modern music sucks and then uses the albums like these ones as evidence that "real music is dead" when they're usually most likely the albums their parents listened to which makes their opinion seem less genuine because they're citing "the albums me dad listened to" instead of really getting to the meat of an argument.
Almost all of these are really good albums. No one is denying that. |
Mystletainn
04.14.16 | Will you be my second dad? |
wham49
04.14.16 | not worked up, just passing the time in discussion, however when the high school kids use it it is derogatory, even though what they listen to is shit |

Artuma
04.14.16 | "light years ahead of the stupid shit being made today"

adr

PappyMason
04.14.16 | You need some Steely Dan in your life. |
Artuma
04.14.16 | "Lol Artuma I do but the phrase dad rock infuriates me to no end"
it gets misused a bit but it's honestly quite unbelievable how it appears every dad in our generation listens to basically the same music. shows that the rock spectrum wasn't very wide back then (but i can't really blame them for that) |
Trebor.
04.14.16 | But the late 70s/early 80s had so much good punk and metal shit that most dads ignored for some reason |
Trebor.
04.14.16 | My dad has like 20,000 hard rock and prog records but he doesn't have kill em all or fucking ramones or anything like that |
zakalwe
04.14.16 | Dads were off their neck on LSD, involved in threesomes and jamming Pink Floyd in their teens all the while grafting at exams that were harder, entering jobs that were more back breaking and forever being told to 'man up' and settling down at 21 to raise brats who will forever ponce off of him, tell him he doesn't understand and that his music is shite.
HAVE SOME RESPECT!!!!! |
Artuma
04.14.16 | oh i still respect them |
PappyMason
04.14.16 | Lol, ain't that the truth |
