Archelirion
02.09.16 | Depends if it's still being used as a pejorative :3 |
MO
02.09.16 | no classic rock is fine |
zakalwe
02.09.16 | I bloody love step-brothers. Funny as fuck. |
ScuroFantasma
02.09.16 | agreed, great movie |
Mythodea
02.09.16 | is there sth equal for mothers? How would mom-rock sound? |
JigglyPDiddy
02.09.16 | I sometimes reffer to Hair Metal/Rock as Jellyfish Metal. Is that a thing? |
onionbubs
02.09.16 | Well, I will now |
Mythodea
02.09.16 | ''Jellyfish Metal'' best thing I've heard today. |
SCREAM!
02.09.16 | "is there sth equal for mothers? How would mom-rock sound?"
Sting, Chris De Burgh, etc |
Snake.
02.09.16 | step brothers was not good |
JigglyPDiddy
02.09.16 | Barry Manilow and Air Supply are the definition of Mom Rock/Metal. |
DinosaurJones
02.09.16 | Also, Rod Stewart. |
JigglyPDiddy
02.09.16 | When I become a mom, though, my mom rock/metal will not be those examples... |
onionbubs
02.09.16 | "Rod Stewart" [2]
the only album on this list my dad likes is 5, unfortunately... |
DinosaurJones
02.09.16 | It's true, my dad likes all of this.
He's also a big fan of:
Santana
Led Zeppelin
Eric Clapton
Jeff Beck
...I can't really complain about his music taste. It might be "dad-rock," but I still enjoy it. |
Ebola
02.09.16 | Rush isn't really "dad rock." Imo that's more like 70s and 80s soft rock, the Eagles for example. |
SCREAM!
02.09.16 | I wouldn't call Floyd (especially animals) dad rock either. Some of their songs might fit but overall I'd say prog is pretty separate from "dad rock", with dad rock being more straightforward and radio-friendly. |
JigglyPDiddy
02.09.16 | ^^^what they said |
wham49
02.09.16 | hate the term, sounds lame, and there is not one thing lame about the bands on this list, this music is more forward thinking than most made today, in fact most newer bands try to emulate some aspect of Dad rock to mixed reviews |
Underflow
02.09.16 | I don't think so only because in ten-fiftenn yearss Radiohead is going to be dad rock. |
Jots
02.09.16 | implying Radiohead fans yield offspring |
Snake.
02.09.16 | rush isn't really "dad rock" unless your name is dalton dubois |
wham49
02.09.16 | good point underflow, my point exactly, old doesn't mean bad, newer doesn't mean good |
claygurnz
02.09.16 | Yeah not a fan of the term, has negative connotations imo |
onionbubs
02.09.16 | the rolling stones are pretty dad rock, i guess. Or at least, my dad likes them |
MO
02.09.16 | "hate the term, sounds lame, and there is not one thing lame about the bands on this list"
this |
SmileNerd
02.09.16 | More of a category than a genre. |
TheMagicalBlender
02.09.16 | 30 years from now Alice in Chains, Radiohead, and Nine Inch Nails will all be dad rock too. |
Rawmeeth38
02.09.16 | Alice in Chains and Nirvana already are |
smaugman
02.09.16 | dad rock is usually a term for those who think it's strange listening to "old" music |
basikchanL
02.09.16 | it isnt |
smaugman
02.09.16 | how do you define it then |
Mythodea
02.09.16 | don't take the joke too seriously |
botb
02.09.16 | Love dad Rock tbh |
ArsMoriendi
02.09.16 | I mean it's based on stereotypes of what a group of people listen to rather than the sound of the music itself... So obviously not.
Plus it's ever changing, my dad likes poppy indie folk too. Are the Decemberists Dad rock? My dad loves them. |
dbizzles
02.09.16 | I always considered Dad Rock to be music that a middle aged father would think was jamming hard... like Foo Fighters. Not so much classic rock. I haven't thought much about it I suppose. |
UpwardSpiral
02.09.16 | Rod Stewart [3], Fleetwood Mac |
braspberries
02.09.16 | Wilco tbh |
MyNameIsPencil
02.09.16 | depends, will dad rock say it's going to the store to get cigarettes; only to never come home? |
ArsMoriendi
07.15.19 | Insults aren't genres, they're insults
"dad rock" "mumble rap" "cock rock" "vapid pop" etc aren't genres, they're criticisms |
kalkwiese
07.15.19 | One day all rock will be dad rock and the community will be united again |
Rik VII
07.15.19 | A lot of genre names started as insults/criticisms. Like space opera, as an example outside of music. |
rabidfish
07.15.19 | only if we add the dad- prefix to all genres.
wu-tang is dad-hop
michael jackson is dad-pop
merzbow is dad-noise |
ArsMoriendi
07.15.19 | The Velvet Underground is dad-hipstercore |
kalkwiese
07.15.19 | My Chemical Romance is dad-emo |
ArsMoriendi
07.15.19 | Beethoven is great great great great grandfather classical-core |
Divaman
07.15.19 | No. No, it should not. And I say that as a Dad. |
Pikazilla
07.15.19 | The Velvet Underground is dad-hipstercore
Yeah, pretty much. |
Pikazilla
07.15.19 | Hispter dadcore. |
rockandmetaljunkie
07.15.19 | Since AOR is a genre i don't see why it shouldn't be |
Larkinhill
07.15.19 | The Beatles
The Byrds
The Doors
Rush
The Rolling Stones
All my dad’s favorite bands. I wouldn’t call any of them dad rock tho. |
Larkinhill
07.15.19 | What the fuck is dad rock anyway? Just older music that dads listen to because that’s what they grew up with? I don’t understand that label. It sounds semi-insulting, but most “dad rock” bands are awesome. |
Larkinhill
07.15.19 | I always considered Dad Rock to be music that a middle aged father would think was jamming hard... like Foo Fighters. Not so much classic rock
That’s interesting. Makes sense. So basically rock bands that are just alright, but dads love it because they think it “rocks out”, but that’s just because they’re comparing to stuff they grew up with. |
Pikazilla
07.15.19 | Yeah, Foo Fighters and Nirvana are most definitely dad rock lol |
butt.
07.15.19 | whitesnake is dad rock |
zakalwe
07.15.19 | It’s a sign of the times that nowadays ‘dad rock’ is actually considered ‘real rock’ and pisses over todays pretenders.
Dad > |
J() Alexander
07.15.19 | Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs is the ultimate dad rock album tbh. |
Larkinhill
07.15.19 | Chili Peppers? |
Asdfp277
07.15.19 | no cuz as time goes on newer rock becomes dad rock |
Divaman
07.16.19 | That's true. Whatever you're listening to today = Dad Rock tomorrow. And your children will consider it to be elevator music. |
