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

[TomCTC]

My dad loved Yes, ELP, and Zeppelin. No problems there.

[Trick Fall]

I'm kind of dreading the first time my daughter here's my first album which includes the song Copsucker whose chorus goes
Copsucker, pig {censored}er, transi hooker, what a looker

{censored} it dude I love dad rock. Steely Dan, Phil Collins, Jimmy Buffet, the whole nine yards. I will wear that badge proudly. I never pass up an opportunity to sing "Easy Lover" for karaoke. That and "Separate Ways" by Journey.

[pbone]

Also my dad beats all your dads. He owned a radio station here in Seattle and was a show promoter. His record collection is immaculate (DJ copy of DSOTM top the list) and has smoked weed with Eric Clapton and bob marley

Promoters are assholes.

Everyone knows that.

I don't know if you missed it, but his dad has a sweet dad rock record collection.

I dunno. My dad plays avant garde jazz.

[hotmess]

Didn't read the rest of the thread, but the answer is "no" because you specifically stated in the conundrum that it is not Dad Rock.

My dad likes Enya. I'm a dad too, and I'm into Baroness, Mastodon and Deftones. My kids like crap pop music. The 11 year old played that damn "call me maybe" song for 4 hours continuous yesterday (I wasn't home, thankfully). I would say I win this contest.

This.

And my dad thinks Steely Dan are the greatest band of all time.

He's {censored} on guitar though!

Basically this.

[Fender&EHX4ever]

I've been into Steely Dan since I was 8. I was a Dad-Rocker way before my time.

[The Lou-Dog]

Does that make me Dad Rock?

[LSDis4me]

Today I threw away my Steely Dan cassette. It was just too warbly. Had it for about 33 years, making it older than some of the dads here.

 

RIP Josie, Dr Wu, Rikki

[mr benn]

Pretzel logic is awesome.

[The Lou-Dog]

For me it goes, 1. Aja 2. Royal Scam 3. every thing else they did in the 70's 4. the new {censored}.

[Elessar [Sly]]

My dads listens to all kinds of stuff, I wouldn't consider what I hear coming out the speakers dad rock.

[WeStartToDrift]

I had a high school teacher that had three kids and was in a band that covered "Do You Compute" by Drive Like Jehu. Coolest guy ever.

[Jisatsu]

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

 

You literally are going to become my dad.

 

Which is cool, man.

[Loobs]

 

You are wrong. They are {censored} rock.

 

 

If you think Steely Dan are {censored}, you need help, honestly.

Neurosis loves Steely Dan. I read in some interview that they're all really into Steely Dan and they put it on the PA when they load in.

[Loobs]

I also like Battles.
