The Cat 3 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 My grandfather loved Johnny Cash. My father loved Johnny Cash. My uncles love Johnny Cash. I love Johnny Cash. My kids love Johnny Cash. I suspect my grandchildren and great grandchildren will love Johnny Cash. If not, they will be cut off of the family tree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 When I refer to that classification of music, I use the radio term "classic rock," which is just an evolution of old AOR. Anything that wouldn't fly when AOR became classic rock radio, doesn't fly with me under that classification. So in general we start with the tail end of the sixties and go up to (but never including) Nirvana, though some releases post Nevermind do make the cut (Tom Petty and Aerosmith come to mind).

HemiBeers Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 So is Dad Rock the opposite of Kid Rock? If so, I'm confused. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) I recently saw Ian Anderson in concert. During intermission he discussed prostate cancer and how most fans in the audience are 50+, and should get tested. Now that is Dad Rock and I love it.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Top 20 DadRock albums. I have most of them. https://www.amoeba.c...ther-s-day.html That list sucks. If you're gonna list a top 20 albums which you refer to as "dad rock," knowing the term to often be used in a duragatory manner, you have to pick twenty albums that are both worshipped by 45+ dads everywhere and totally rock out. More like Moving Pictures (or 2112 maybe), Who's Next, Toys In The Attic, Back In Black, Destroyer, the Number Of The Beast, The Black Album, Boston, 4, Pyromania, etc. More emphasis on the rocking. Gee, people need to be more accurate with their insults. :eyeroll: :syrinx: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I think "dad rock" is a loaded term used to not only disparage older bands, but to insult younger fans of older bands, in the sense of "ugh, you like Metallica? That's lame-ass dad rock." Anyway, I'd like to get your thoughts on this matter. I don't even think whoever said it meant it as THAT much of an insult to younger fans of older bands. Seems like the types that say those types of things say them to make themselves look cool, hip, whatever. The answer to this "problem" is very easy. When they ask you/say to you, "ugh, you like (insert any older rock band)? That's lame ass dad rock", answer with: "Yeah. I like (that band)." When you can reply like that without feeling defensive/annoyed, then you can TRULY move on and enjoy music without thinking so much about what others think.

EagleMoon Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I think the "dad" prefix has just become a general term that encompasses anything that younger people consider something their parents would do. I've heard it in relation to a lot of things and not just music. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eel Yddeg Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Classic rock isn't dad rock at all.When I went to some Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd tribute bands, or when I saw Queen, lots of people there were kids, or teens, or younger adults, and they enjoyed the show very much.I don't think "dad rock" is a real term. It's just a derogatory term against fans of older music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My awesome mom is 80 too! I showed her a Neil Peart drum solo once and she said, "My gosh! He's like a tornado!" She can recognize talent when she sees it and doesn't care if something is old, new, or whatever. If she likes or dislikes something she can still give it credit if there's talent present. GRANDMA ROCK! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
