If your Dad plays rock and rocks but doesn't play Dad Rock is it still Dad Rock?

[Loobs]

Not all Dad rock is Dad Rock.

Damn. You pipped me to the post.

[Dr.Picklebottom]

[son studios]

[riff ie]

he should haved, he should haved...

The Mystery Jets had their Dad in the band. Does that mean the kids were playing Dad rock?

Even if you are 13 years old, if you enjoy listening to / playing along with any and all Steely Dan records, you are dad rock.

If I'm not a dad but I rock and play dad rock, does that make me a dad?

[english_bob]

The whole idea of dad rock assumes that your dad isn't very cool and listens to brainless MOR {censored}.

My kids are going to grow up thinking Battles is dad rock. They're going to think Trout Mask Replica is the ultimate dad rock album because their dad really likes it and their mum thinks its {censored}ing terrible

[son studios]

i am not the father. need we take this to maury?

[dZjupp]

my kids think Sonic Youth, Mudhoney, and Mogwai etc etc are dad - rock

they love their Mudhoney for sure

[Texas Noise Factory]

So, once you become a father, you can't play rock anymore? I thought you just couldn't trust anyone over thirty...

Too many freakin' rules maaaaaan.

My Dad likes Dad Rock but also likes rock that definitely isn't Dad Rock even though Dads like it.

[Loobs]

And Steely Dad is yacht rock.

[Naterel]

Dads house Dads house

[arthurdent'd]

I should be a Dad by now, thank god for slamming my nuts repeatedly in the car door all those years ago.

[christianatl]

My dad wasn't a musician, but he was a big fan of both Willie Nelson and B.B. King.

This is because he was awesome, just like his son.

If your Dad listens to Mariachi does it become Dad Mariachi? Nope, it's still the perfect festive music to listen to while eating tacos.

[mr benn]

My Dad has/had a better record collection than I do...


He's {censored} on guitar though!

[anjin-san]

I'm a dad and my kids hate my records because they "sound terrible". Husker Du, Guided by Voices, Fugazi, early Flaming Lips, Butthole Surfers is dad rock in my house. They do kinda sound terrible.

My 11 yo and I agree on Black Sabbath, AC/DC and Rush (all are preffered listening). He doesn't care for Sunn O))), so he's not going with me to their show.

And Steely Dan is fantastic.
