Who /unironicallylovesdadrock/ here?
I love all music but dad rock holds a special place for me because
a) I grew up listening to it with my actual dad
b) Bruce Springsteen resonated with me as a skinny teenage x-county nerd for some reason and
c) now that I'm an adult with a shit ton of outside stresses and responsiblities sometimes it's nice to have a huge genre of familar, chill music to fall back on. I still love putting on a good challenging album but if I'm driving home from work and it's been a long day there's nothing wrong with a little Jackson Brown or Hall & Oates to chill me out.
I was listening to some Cream a couple days ago. Legitimately great band.
I love Boston and Styx. I don't know why, I just do. I have been trying to stop listening to dadrock but I can't. Considering deleting all dadrock so I can stay patrician.
Ewww, fuck no lol
>>60699303
don't change yourself to live up to a bunch of random anon's taste. There's nothing more pleb than hating a band because everyone else does.
Grew up on dadrock, I love it unconditionally.
Petty is based.
>>60699303
>Boston
for somebody who sucks the dick of dadrock, i don't get why people even like Boston, i remember buying their second album, and when i listen to it, i legit forgot i was listing to an album, it's so boring and uninteresting,and looking at there first album, not much diferent
Dadrock super group appreciation.
>>60699437
Boston's basically a one-album band, and even that album is just okay.
I like pic related better. Every song is killer. "Refugee" and "Louisiana Rain" are damn near perfect as far as I'm concerned
ew stop posting anytime.

man, this is TOTALLY not b8.
>>60699159
I saw them last year and they put on a great show. Petty is cool dude.
>>60699612
are you serious with this post
There is literally nothing wrong with dadrock, anybody who has something against it beyond not enjoying the music is a faggot
does yacht rock count
do groups like black sabbath and the jimi hendrix experience fall underneath the dadrock tag or are they "cool" enough to escape that label
>>60699735
they are most certainly dadrock and there's nothing wrong with that
>>60699373
This
>>60699735
They're dadrock and they are also really good.
>>60699257
I also grew up listening the music my dad used to play in his car. Now i listen even more dadrock than my dad.
>>60699735
they are "dadrock" but that doesn't make them not cool
>tfw my love of music came from my dad sharing his favorite albums with me
>tfw I play him the weird shit I like and he really enjoys it
do any of you all like the sonics? are any of their albums worth checking out aside from here are the sonics and boom?
>>60699844
play him swans
>>60699861
I don't like Swans
disturbed is the only dadrock band i like and even then they're pretty shit. i'm glad my dad raised me on good music like Minor threat and The Slits.
I've always thought "dadrock" is a term best applied to somebody's overall taste, not individual artists. Like, if somebody only likes the music that they heard from their dad or classic rock radio, then yeah, that's dumb, but having a genuine appreciation for rock music that happens to be older is perfectly valid.
Take >>60699257, Bruce Springsteen's a great example of what I mean. Something like, say, Born to Run will resonate pretty universally with people for a long time to come, it's not just for aging nostalgic baby boomers.
>>60699844
you probably dont actually listen to weird shit...
>>60699876
>disturbed is the only dadrock band i like
>>60699893
You probably have a shitty dad
>>60699872
you like swans.
>>60699960
I literally don't
>>60699876
>Minor threat and The Slits.
>good music
LMFAO the worst punk bands of all time and you think they're good? Stop posting.
>>60699876
>disturbed is the only dadrock band i like
>>60699612
Implying I didn't develop out of shitty music into rock
I love dadrock, but I'm actually old enough to be alot of your dads.
>>60699981
not him but it would be better if you stopped posting
Is this man considered dadrock? If so, yeah, I unironically love dadrock.
>>60700072
he's unclerock
>>60699965
sounds like something a swans fan would say
>>60700091
beefheart and zappa are unclerock. Lennon is auntrock
>>60700097
hue
>>60700112
Todd Rundgren is hardcore unclerock
>>60700125
leey
>>60700139
It is, it really is.
>>60699883
Springsteen before Born In The USA = not dadrock. Everything after is nothing but.
My father, in the short period of time we had rogether, showed me lots of cool punk bands like Crass and the Sex Pistols, also the Misfits. I'm sure we would have shared lots of cool music together... Really miss him
>>60700280
I'm interested to hear what your criteria for what is/isn't dadrock, in that case.
>>60700280
>Born to Run isn’t dadrock
>Goat of Tom Joad is
Nah
>>60700280
What the fuck are you talking about
>>60700112
>beefheart and zappa are unclerock
This. I've never asked my uncle about Beefheart but he's a huge Zappa fan.
>tfw my dad came home from the record store with Beefheart, Patti Smith, Ted Nugent and The Eagles on the same day
>>60699159
My dad is a 2000s rap fag. not even the kind /mu/tards like, total shit like Styles of Beyond, Techn9ne, and Lupe Fiasco.
Petty is keeping me alive right now, so unless my sperm was donated in my sleep and I have a kid i don't know about he is far from "dadrock" to me.
>>60699159
Listening to Nazareth - No mean City. Typical 70s Heavy Rock, but the vocals are so rough, fucked up and pissed off, I kinda like it. The Track "Claim To Fame" especially-
>>60701983
>Beefheart, Patti Smith
Patrician.
>Ted Nugent
His solo stuff is shit but The Amboy Dukes made some great stuff.
>The Eagles
Revoltingly awful.
john denver was my first sexual fantasy

Just that he was edgier when he was younger and hungrier. Asbury Park, Born To Run, and Darkness are all pretty solid, The River has some great standout tracks and Nebraska is near mythic. After USA, his age and the devils of superstardom made his work much more AOR and radio friendly, therefore to me, much more dadrockesque, The Ghost Of Tom Joad notwithstanding. I always conceptualized dadrock to mean just that, songs for and about older men. By this criteria, Zeppelin will never be dadrock, nor will Sabbath. The Eagles are dadrock because they never shut up and went away, witness the mostly embarrassing solo careers of Don Henley and Glenn Frey. Petty is not dadrock because he was never a cool kid so he can't be a cool dad. The Stones aren't dadrock unless you're a sixty year old moron shilling out two grand for floor seats to their yearly tour, then they become the de facto kings of dadrock. Context is clearly everything in this emerging genre. Be happy to answer any further questions you might have about it.
Also, Sabrina, don't just stare at her ass, eat it.

>>60699648
I've only listened to On Time and S/T and enjoyed the latter a lot, is their other stuff as heavy and primitive sounding?
