Your definition of "Dad Rock"?

[Fender&EHX4ever]

The term doesnt really mean anything to me because 1) my dad only really likes classical and folk, 2) I love all the music my mom raised me on - Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, John Denver, Mamas & Papas, etc.

 

 

But i get the point. If your dad in his heyday of youth used to listen to Bob Seger, and he wants you to appreciate how it is such better music than the latest KOL album you just bought, then Bob Seger qualifies as "dad rock".

 

So what did your parents try to pawn off on you?

Radiohead

It's just an insult imo. Someone gets called a dad rocker to dismiss them as a person. Music doesn't stop being good or relevant just because it was made a long time ago. Great great great great great great great... etc. grandpa rock (see e.g. baroque music) is awesome, for example.

My dad listens to a lot of ragtime, jazz, opera and classical which aren't really my cup of tea. My mum's taste is more up my street though, she taught me to love the likes of:

 

Cat Stevens

Queen

Neil Diamond

Most of the popular 50s/60s rock and pop stuff

[Fender&EHX4ever]

 

Radiohead

 

 

Aka dadiohead

[Aedes]

Stan Kenton.

For sure. But its no different than what The Who were ranting about in '65. Old insults are old.

My dad listens to George Thorogood.

Or radiodad.

 

My dad used to make me listen to Cat Stevens, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Beatles, Rolling Stones,...

 

Now he enjoys Eels, Radiohead, Fleet Foxes and stuff like that too.

[companyman]

for me, my Dad was into Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis etc. in the Rock-n-Roll domain, mostly he was a Bebop guy....when I hear people calling Wilco "Dad-Rock" I am baffled.

I'm a Dad and my youngest in 19. I am currently listening to Seasick Steve, the Who, Morcheeba and James.

[schandmann]

My dad listens to Miles Davis and Tom Waits.

My kids think anything made between 1989 and 1995 with noisy guitars is 'Dad Rock'

 

 

... I think stuff like later Soul Asylum is 'Dad Rock' (even though I like it)

This x 1000. Dad Rock is the dumbest phrase used on this board. I imagine it's hard for most people to type, as their skull hoodie keeps falling over their eyes, which is already covered by their front swoop, in addition to holding their PBR with one hand.
