REO Speedwagon
Fleetwood Mac
"best dad music"
has no sense at all...
as in
'songs and bands that could be on a "Jeremy Clarkson's Greatest Driving Hits" type compilation, but are actually also amazing'?
if so...
Toto - Africa
God, I fucking hate Toto
I was on a long plane ride (20 years ago) and they had this looped five song thing and it was all Rosanne, Africa Toto shit and I swear to god I hate Toto more than Celine Dion!!!
I sure can understand that feeling.
Not sure who I would chose between listening one hour to Dion or to Toto...
Same goes for Genesis, Dire Straits, Status Quo...
10cc!
Focus - Hocus Pocus
Queen
i forgot The Cars
.
Eurythmics!
<3
"Twenty punk classics"
The perfect gift for father's day
ELO!
REO speedwagon suck donkey dick.
Fleetwood Mac were great, yeah.
Of course the classics: Zep, Stones, Aerosmith (70s only).
Bob Seger has some rollicking good tunes.
Lynard Skynard.
I dunno, I can definately sit through Classic Rock radio without any problem... although my buddy at work loves this shit to no end. He was playing me this one band and I said, "Jesus, that sounds like Spinal Tap." He didn't realize I meant it to be an insult. Ha!
Yeah!
Bob personifies American Rock to me. In a good way. More so than, say, Springsteen.
.... the best of.
:) ha!!!!
young people listening to Genesis...
we made REVOLUTIONS so that no one would have to listen to bands like Genesis ever...
that's why I replied
to Sarkyfox and not to you...
You're SO wrong, lyle!
Gabriel-era Genesis is fantastic. FACT.
you're 22
we'll talk again when you get wiser...
I note you're 36
and are therefore beyond saving....
Tom Petty
Cheap Trick
Huey Lewis & The News (Fore!)
i'm FREEEEE!
FREEEEEEEEEEEE FALLIN'
Tom Petty
slays
he won't back down
apparently
tom petty is fucking bad ass.
he looks all chilled out, but he'd probably pistol whip you if you fucked him off.

The best music that my dad listens to
is Neil Young. He also listens to some total poo.
I don't understand
Why is it assumed that, having successfully seeded, a man then acquires poor taste in music?
because you post on DiS?
think about it
The
Doors?
Coldplay
Keane etc.
no no no.
no.
My dad likes them!
you're missing something here
Oh yeah
woops
10CC
Ultravox
Yes
I became a dad in June
I've been listening to:
MIA
Dirty Projectors
Richard Hawley
Marnie Stern
Jeffrey Lewis
St Vincent
I guess that means they're dad music. Also good.
no.
dirty projectors!!
new album = the shit
live = the shit
Meatloaf
There, I said it.
The Eagles.
Tom Petty (as mentioned above)
My dad likes 60s music more than anything else.
Same with my mum.
So they both sort of get awards for the fact they've never sat me through the torture of bands like Dire Straits.
The Police
My Dad likes an incredible amount of country music and there's some good stuff there if you hunt long enough.
Honestly there is.
Oh yeah
For the record, that band my co-worker buddy loves: Uriah Heep. He says they actually *are* the band Spinal Tap modeled themselves after. He said it without a hint of irony. haha!!! So I said, "turn it up to 11!"
my dad likes uplifting vocal house
and Maroon 5
SM are a great dad rock band
I was thinking that exact same thing when I played that lime green album over the weekend... I love Lightning Blue Eyes!!
Steely Dan - Reelin' in the Years
Steely Dan is too good to be classed as "dad music"
i speak purely chronologically
although in my case 'dad music' is stuff like Vera Lynn, what with my dad being born in 1929.
But then, he liked Mike Oldfield. In fact, fuck - 'In Dulce Jubilo' is dead good.
After seeing the Sopranos finale
I may add Journey as a slight guilty pleasure...
journey
is not a guilty pleasure. i never knew journey until recently. my dad having been an afficianado of modern free jazz and old english folk. my wife likes journey. i hear journey on the radio. i love journey. i could and do listen to don't stop believin for a long time
Awesome
I have records by three of those four.
My dad:
a mixture of old, mostly not very obscure yet good stuff, and new, crap "dinner party" music like norah jones and madeline peyroux etc
Foreigner
One of my Dad's favourites along with Mike and the Mechanics.
:-S
I have to second Jamie's 'Focus - Hocus Pocus' nomination. I kinda love that tune in a guilty pleasure sorta way.
ahem
just d/l'ed whitesnake's greatest hits, it IS dadrocktastic and utter class. FOOL FOR YOUR LOVIN' NO MO-HO-WORE!!!
Billy motherfucking Joel
we didn't start the fire.
