My favorite is Guns N' Roses, without a question. I loved everything they put out. I listened to Appetite for Destruction at least a couple times a day 2 years ago. It's a little cheesy to say, but that is a badass album. T. Rex, Beatles, Led Zeppelin and others were favorites of mine a couple years ago too.

The Band

their "last waltz" live album is god tier

Bowie, Lou Reed/Velvet Underground, The Who. Frank Zappa if you count it too.

>>33788438

I refuse to call Nick Drake dadrock.

>>33788438
i wouldn't really call TML dadrock, they kinda give off that "teen angst" vibe going on

>>33788438
David Bowie and Frank Zappa are the only trve dadrock bands you listed

Pic is related.

>>33788438
krautrock is only dadrock if you are a kraut.

>>33788597
>>33788818
>>33788890
trolled hard.

No love for the James Gang?

Rides Again has that classic Dad Rock sound.

Steppenwolf. Creedence Clearwater Revival. Fleetwood Mac.

>>33788438
if my dad caught me listening to Nick Drake or Scott Walker he'd think I was gay

>who's next
>not based Quadrophenia

>>33788597

My dad owns all of Nick Drakes vinyls.

>>33789009
>Who's Next
>not Based Nu-... By Numbers
Quadrophenia wins though.

If "dadrock" excludes prog and experimental stuff and is just radiorock from the 60's/70's, then I agree OP. The Who were a great band.

>>33788976
fleetwood mac are mompop

The Band, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Boston, Bruce Springsteen, CCR, David Bowie, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Rush...maybe a few others, but those are the biggies.

>>33789057
The Who By Numbers is also fucking excellent.
I don't know if it's an issue of it being over-played, or if by Who's Next, they were just heading in a direction I didn't like, but I don't think it's really that great of an album.

>>33788438
CAN WE MAKE SOMETHING CLEAR RIGHT NOW
OLD MUSIC DOES NOT MAKE IT DADROCK

IF IT GETS FREQUENTED ON CLASSIC ROCK RADIO THEN IT IS DADROCK
thankyou

Rolling Stones.

I've always liked AC/DC

The Band, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Boston, Bruce Springsteen, CCR, David Bowie, the original Jeff Beck Group, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Rush, the Who...maybe a few others, but those are the biggies.

>>33789158
This. Velvet Underground? Not dadrock, seriously.
I was told by my father that it 'sounds like something to commit homicide to'.

Use your head, /mu/

>>33788597
Out of everything on that list, Nick Drake is the only one you think isn't dadrock?

>>33789009
>>33789126
They're all excellent to me, but I do think By Numbers is far underrated. I guess it was the first album Pete didn't do anything really new.

>>33788966
>No love for the Hotman?
>Rides Again has that classic Dad Rock sound.

Fixed that for you, bud.

Probably this.

>>33788501
Yeah, I fully agree. I stopped listening to most dadrock after high school, but the Last Waltz, and the Band in general, is still amazing. Always wonder why they don't get mentioned more often here.

Besides them, I'd say the Allman Bro's are still good when I'm in the mood, and I'll occasionally listen to some Tull, Floyd, and Yes.

>>33788291
Never understood what everyone else saw in the Who. The only thing they did that I enjoyed was A Quick One While He's Away.

>>33789126
>>33789236
It feels sort of watered down and directionless to me. Some good songs but as an album it lacks substance. It fizzles and goes out.

>>33789163

'Let It Bleed' is still one of my favorite albums.

>>33788991

I think that says more about your dad than those artists.

>>33789321
That is, Who's Next, not By Numbers.

>>33789306
What's there to say about The Band, really?

Based Stones

>>33789321
>watered down
From what?
>directionless
I can understand this complaint, as it was supposed to be a bigger album.
>lacks substance
I don't really know why it would and their other albums don't.

>tfw when no-one ever talks about this album.

>>33789306
>Never understood what everyone else saw in the Who. The only thing they did that I enjoyed was A Quick One While He's Away
I hate to say it brings the feels, but it brings the feels. There's quite a bit of genre growth as well; the songs on My Generation sound nothing like the do on Quadophenia, sound nothing like they do on The Who Sell Out.

>>33789306
>Always wonder why they don't get mentioned more often here.

When Levon Helm died, one of the only threads I saw about it was made by somebody from /v/, of all places, who said he loved the Band and wanted to make a memorial thread on the proper board. I remember thinking "wow, /mu/ really needs to step its game up".

>>33789407
>>33789414
Hivemind

I like it, but it does feel real fucking off for a Who album.

>tfw a timeless and amazing band will soon be considered dadrock

>>33789461
they play Nirvana on classic rock radio, is Nirvana dadrock?

>>33789407
It's my favorite of theirs.

>>33789328
>>33789400
>>33789174
I feel AC/DC and The Stones were the worst of all dadrock

>>33789225

Yes.

>>33789049

That's actually really nice.

>tfw you will never own Pink Moon on pink vinyl

>>33789450
Sell Out was a transition period. Pete was getting more confident in his high concept composition and ideas, but hadn't quite had the vindication that the response to Tommy gave him.

>>33788438
what the fuck is Nick Drake doing in between The Stooges and MC5? Did you take a break typing that list to just cry for awhile or something?

>>33789483
I heard Seven Nation Army on a classic rock station recently.

Weezer

>>33789407
What are your favourite tracks? I really dig ICSfMaM, I Can't Reach You, and Our Love Was. A really awesome block of songs. Some of the jingles are amazing, too.

>>33789450
The whole point is that it's a capture of the hip radio of the time.

>>33789499
AC/DC maybe.

Stones, hell no. Your reasoning?

>>33789407
>The Who Sell Out
That is my favorite Who album; I love the fake radio station gimmick and the ribbing of mod culture. Tommy is a close second place.

>>33789461
..joey?

also, is devo dadrock? if not now, will they ever be?

>tfw even classic rock stations acknowledge R.E.M. as dadrock now.

Although The Who are still GOAT.

Are we including hard rock or early metal (Judas Priest, Black Sabbath)? Those frequent my local station

Cause I will fucking fight for Meat Loaf

we dadrock now

>>33789393
I guess you could ask the same question of the majority of stuff you see around here. Album rankings, discussion of the relative songwriting/singing merits of the various members, side projects, sharing them in sharethreads, etc. What are you asking?

>>33789544
All there stuff sounds the same and lacks any substance. All of their hits are often a rehash of what was popular at the time

>listen to my father's Who's next vinyl
>talk to him about the cover
>he always thought their piss marks were shadows

>>33789576
BOOH was the only good Meat Loaf album.

>>33789601
That's grandpa rock

>>33789483
Mine plays Metallica...

>>33789594
>talking about the cover
>not the lifehouse/gridlife meanings behind half the tracks and evolution of Roger's vocals

>>33788357
I love you.

>>33789576
No, no, anon. Meat Loaf is good.

>>33789499
AC/DC are the definition of a one-trick pony band, but I'll be damned if another band pulls their trick better than they do. I can enjoy them in small does, they can be fun.

But 'Beggars Banquet' through 'Exile on Main St.' are just god-tier. What don't you like about the Stones?

>>33789594
Holy shit I did too

>>33789620
The thing is, Bat out of Hell was so far beyond 'good' at the time. It was owned by EVERYONE and rocked hard and long. Bitches dropping panties left and right

America
Doobie Brothers
Steely Dan
Toto

>>33789620

Even if you're including Bat II, you're still wrong.

Pretty much useless without Steinman though. Actually, Hang Cool Teddy Bear was good.

>>33789405
>>watered down
>From what?
Previous albums.
>>directionless
>I can understand this complaint, as it was supposed to be a bigger album.
Huh, didn't know that.
>>lacks substance
>I don't really know why it would and their other albums don't
Not so much lyrically as musically, as an album rather than the songs on their own.
>>33789499
Something like that.

>>33789450

The whole thing is pretty tongue in cheek, taking shots at trends of the time. That might explain the "off"ness.

>>33789533
>What are your favourite tracks?

Only track I'd add to what you've listed is Armenia. It's just too boppy not to love.

>>33789673
>Toto

>>33789662
Meat Loaf "almost cracked" when CBS executive Clive Davis rejected the project.[6] The singer recounts the incident in his autobiography. Not only did Davis, according to Meat Loaf, say that "actors don't make records", the executive challenged Steinman's writing abilities and knowledge of rock music:

Do you know how to write a song? Do you know anything about writing? If you're going to write for records, it goes like this: A, B, C, B, C, C. I don't know what you're doing. You're doing A, D, F, G, B, D, C. You don't know how to write a song... Have you ever listened to pop music? Have you ever heard any rock-and-roll music... You should go downstairs when you leave here... and buy some rock-and-roll records.[11]

Meat Loaf asserts "Jim, at the time, knew every record ever made. [He] is a walking rock encyclopedia." Although Steinman laughed off the insults, the singer screamed "Fuck you, Clive!" from the street up to his building.[12]


Bat out of Hell is patrician. Deal w/ it hipsters.

>>33789594
lel

Though the way they're positioned I can see it.

>>33789551
Do they really rib the Mod culture specifically?

>>33789544
the stones have such a wide range of stuff.
i could understand someone hating the stones if all they'd heard was 'honky tonk women' and 'start me up'
to me the good stones stuff is the ragged early lo-fi ish stuff like sticky fingers and flowers, but people are much likely to get exposed to that by dadrock stations / tv commercials

>>33789621

Just how young are you?

>>33789647
See >>33789591
Also AC/DC often came off as a retarded kid trying be cool

>no mention of pic related
awful

>>33789551
a quick one while he's away

totally essential

>>33789587
Who cares about any of that? It's The Band, just listen.

>>33789719
It's like when a hipster makes fun of hipsters. They were mods poking fun at their own vapid hip culture.

>>33789639

When he has Jim Steinman writing for him. The Bat Out of Hell albums are the only ones of Meat Loaf's I like personally.

>>33789776
his album of covers was actually pretty decent

>>33789771
Yeah but the Mods weren't really the target to me.

Thin Lizzy
Steely Dan
10CC
Gamma
Montrose

The Residents

>>33789414
That's cool and all, but I guess I just don't really care for any of their sounds, and they aren't all that evocative to me. In fact, I feel exactly the same about them as I do about Outkast [hugely respected, showing artistic evolution, and I only like one non-representative song (SpottieOttieDopalicious, for those of you keeping score at home)].

>>33789776

Have you heard Dead Ringer? Has nothing on the Bats obviously but it's almost as good.

>>33789752
my god, of course

also: tom petty is some good dadrock
and the pretenders must be dadrock by now
>mfw people will just think the pretenders are early heartless bastards

>>33789551
I'd probably rank A Quick One as third. I really like Tommy.

Who's Next and Quadrophenia are good, too, but I prefer the early albums.

>>33789738
There was a retarded kid at my high school who was the friendliest motherfucker I've ever met. Always happy to see everybody, giving high fives and hugs, and loved to joke around, even at his own expense. I'd never want to hang out with the guy for very long, but he was a blast to horse around with in gym class or something.

AC/DC's the same way, I'm not gonna go through their discography and call them my favorite band, but I'll let my guard down and let myself get caught up in their fun every so often.

>>33789849
That's fair.

The Swans

>>33789812
Hip misunderstood youth culture hasn't changed enough to make The Who irrelevant yet.

>>33789812
I guess you can say it was aimed at the media stereotype of a posh, fashion and consumerism-obsessed mod rather than the actual street-fighting working-class mod reality

>>33789873
was meant to be a reply to
>>33789754

Is Black Sabbath dadrock?

>>33789874
First part of you post made me lol. But AC/DC actually just sounds terrible to me. I feel that way about other dadrock like Boston or Led Zeppelin

>>33789852

I actually haven't. I'll give it a look.

>>33789884
Yes but the Mods weren't really around in 1967 IIRC.

>>33789889
Ah, that seems to make more sense. Still, I'd argue it's more the kids who went toa cid parties, not scooter riders.

>>33789879
>The Swans
>The

>>33789947
Yes but high quality dadrock.

>>33789947
I guess so.

/thread.

>>33789959
how can you group those three together?

Led Zeppelin may be incredibly overrated, but they are definitely not in the shit tier that AC/DC is

Why don't you just say what you mean? You're not talking about "dadrock", you're talking about late '60s and 1970s rock.

>>33789947
Its metal afaik, but it's played on classic rock stations so I'm not sure>

>33789959
I feel you on Led Zeppelin. There just seems to be a lack of structure to their songs that puts me way off, but I like their more well balanced tracks like Stairway and Immigrant song

>>33790053
I mean, Led Zeppelin and Boston isn't the kind of stuff I'd sit down and listen to. But if it comes on the radio, I'll totally sing all the lyrics and enjoy myself. Hell, I actually have Boston's entire s/t and it's pretty rad

>>33789987
They were around and established by '67.

>>33790057
Because dadrock means something to /mu/. (Alibeit as a joke)
It's why Led Zeppelin and Boston are dadrock, but the Velvet Underground and the Stooges aren't.

If you can buy a t-shirt of the band at a Khol's or Target, it's a good bet it's a dadrock band.
It's not really a genre, so much as it is a humerus after-the-fact classification.

>>33790114
I'm thinking that they already faded by then.

>>33789759
I guess I'm just confused why you're here, then.

>Who care's about any of that? It's [ ], just listen.

>tfw you only like Boston because it seems like such an optimistic happy album and the singer killed himself fucking 3 decades later

>>33790177
>tfw it's more than a feel

>>33790139
They were certainly on the decline. I'm not too informed on the subject, but maybe they were aiming at the latecomers who didn't really "get it."

>>33790192

I always liked BOC's heavier stuff
>that fuzz tone

>>33790192
6/10

>>33790234

Come on, that was a solid 8.

>>33790150
It's sort of like discussing CCR. Who cares about their best album? It's just not the kind of music I care to bring up: It's for listening to, not talking about.
Is T-Rex dadrock or is it too glam?

>>33790224
>Heavier stuff

B-but ma don't fear the reaper and burnin for you

The Animals
Procul Haram
The Doors
Jefferson Aeroplane
Thin Lizzy
36 Special
Molly Hatchet
Bob Seger
Bruce Springsteen
Yes
The Moody Blues

>>33790234
fuck you its 9/10 great turn of phrase

>>33790354
It's ok, but not patrician. I can only give it a strong 6 to low 7

Isn't dadrock a pejorative term for uninteresting rock music from the 70's?

>>33790253
>>33790354
I had a moment of "i get it" and then I smiled. That warrants a 6. 7-8 is laughing. 9-10 is my sides going into orbit.

>>33790387
Yeah. OP's an idiot.

le cowbell faec

Could krautrock be considered dadrock?

>>33790387
barely, if that. dadrock means whatever the user wants it to mean - but yes it is pejorative.

>>33790481
it's like nigger or faggot, it is only pejorative when used in a pejorative context here

Does anyone else like Billy Joel? My dad had a lot of his records, and I've been enjoying them.

I like the first few albums from Deep Purple a lot.

>>33790304
>The Animals
>Bruce Springsteen
>Yes
throw out the rest

>>33790509
Billy Joel is the shit

>>33788976
Fleetwood Mac is the best British Blues band.

>>33790516
>The Animals
Jefferson Airplane is better. The Doors are better, too. Otherwise, agreed.

>>33790418
Fucking Santana. That's why we can't have nice things.

>>33790509
Billy Joel is momrock, but GOAT momrock.

Having grown up on Long Island, I was born loving BJ

>>33790529
fav album? I'm partial to Glass Houses.

You guys all lose

Peter Frampton

>>33790596
>I was born loving BJ('s)
lol'd

>>33790624
tfw you feel like we do

yes, I'm a bandwaggoning fuckface

>>33790624
Frampton is also momrock

Essential momrock:
>Fleetwood Mac
>Billy Joel
>Supertramp
>Peter Frampton
>Clapton's "Daddy Clapton" phase
>Pete Townshend's 90's poppier solo albums

>>33790581
The Doors aren't very good. They certainly can't compare to Jefferson Airplane.

>>33790276
Sure, there are some bands that I think are worth discussing, and some that I think are just kind of "there" (and I agree with you about CCR being just kind of "there"). I'm sure everyone has different bands that fit into these categories. But no two people's groups will be exactly the same, and based on the rest of the discussions/tastes on this board, I would think that the Band would fall into more people's "let's talk about it" section. Am I not making sense, or am I just wrong?

>>33790721
>talking about momrock
>not mentioning Heart

Your mommy can sing Crazy on You and Barracuda off the top of their head.

>>33788291

>>33790721
also diana ross & the supremes

By Numbers and Quadrophenia are some serious favorites. Next comes Tommy, TWSMG, Who's Next, Who Are You, then Sell Out. the title track was the only worthy one on A Quick One and everything else was shit.

>>33790721
don't forget The Runaways and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

>>33790755
You're making sense and you're not wrong, but empirically speaking you're wrong about The Band, since /mu/ never talks about them.

How long until this becomes Dad rock?

>>33790721
Peter Gabriel and Jackson Browne, too.

CCR or The Who, but I'm not big on dadrock. Pink Floyd's cool, but they're more momrock.

Maybe Black Sabbath if they even count. Kind of a grey area.

>>33790387
I don't think it's pejorative.

>>33790734
Holy shit, /mu/ should have a feature where every day, a poster has the ability to just shock the living shit out of another poster through their keyboard just once. Just once per day, are you allowed to use this feature. You'd use it, presumably because another poster said something so vile, so wrong, so fucking ridiculously sad that you'd be willing to give up your one shockpost for the day.

zap motherfucker! now squirm!

>>33790542
No doubt about it my friend.

just what is it that makes some old music 'dadrock' and some old music not dadrock?

is music dadrock when it fails to age well? and not dadrock if it's creative enough or has enough of a timeless aesthetic that it does age well?
i think a lot of the stones, beatles and zeppelin's output is definitely dadrock but some isn't. but stuff like the kinks or the zombies, somehow just can't be.

>>33790826
Nah, I wouldn't say the Runaways. Maybe Cherry Bomb gets some plays on the radio, but on the whole I wouldn't say so.
Not that they're a 'respected' punk band or anything, but if they have to fall somewhere on the parent line, I'd say they were a bit too edgy. At least to be listening to as an adult.

Now, Jett's solo stuff, definitely.

>>33790798
Bitch, I know you're not implying that the Supremes are mainly associated with/enjoyed by mothers. Motown is the shit.

DOTYAY

>>33790849

get on my dadrock level

>Pink Floyd
>Led Zep
>Blue Oyster Cult
>Doors
Feel free to make fun, but I also like Styx and Journey.

"Rock on the verge of becoming grandparock."

>>33788957
its odd but that is completely true, you imagine going home and your dad is just blaring Trans Europa Express?

>>33791159

Do you guys think Radiohead will be considered dadrock in the future, /mu/?

>>33791196
It is grandparock, these guys are well into their 60s.

>>33791229
My father listens almost exclusively to dadrock. Bowie, T-Rex, Springsteen, CCR, stuff like that. Which is nice, but everything else is noise to him: Jazz, hiphop, classic, the rest he can't even name. He says he doesn't mind reggae or blues, but he never listens to it.

>>33791210
And they're all named Frank Zappa or David Bowie, right?

>>33791068
>tfw imagining the day that 90's rock starts playing on Classic Rock stations.

>>33791341

My Dad is really into Bob Marley, Northern Soul and Motown.

Never really into rock but his taste is pretty awesome regardless.

CCR, Nazareth, Molly Hatchet

>>33791425
Of course, he also played some things I enjoyed as well.
It's just that it's so associated with dads, it's funny.

Jesus what went wrong in your life that you're still here

>>33791423
how young are you?

I got into Green Day by being 12 when Nimrod came out. My dad got into Green Day years later after I already grew out of Green Day and he was talking about how good American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown were.

>>33791425
You tell my father that Charles Mingus isn't "horrible noise."

>>33791184
Rush is pretty good.

Saw em in November, that was a motherfucking show lemme tell you.

If you have children at the perfectly acceptable age of 20, and your children do the same, you are a grandfather at 40

At least he had sex, differently from most of us.

>>>/b/

Honestly, I think this place would be better if we replaced everyone under 20 or so with someone who is 44.

Not optimal, mind, but better.

>>33791648
>20
>perfectly acceptable
I reiterate my judgment of your social status.

>>33791648
Maybe if you live in the midwest on a farm.
You're not even considered a fucking adult by most people at 21, let alone 20.
Say you go into college at 18, and come out right on time at 21. That's fucking young in 2013, I think.

>>33791490
interesting perspective... just how old do you think 4chan is? And /mu/ is one of several places to get opinions on new music - a 36 year passion of mine. I know a thing or two about it by now, sometimes I like to talk about it. so what?

>>33791490

lol what? thanks for sharing

>>33791692
I wasn't mocking his age, but the fact that he had a kid at a young age and raised said offspring to stop using protection the minute they are out of school as well

>>33791692
Where do all the 44 year olds hang online anyway? My father watches porn with black women, but he's 54 so he might not count.

>>33791612
ice burn, pops

>>33791709

Just because you're a manchild who has no commitments or responsibilities in his 20s doesn't everyone else in their 20s is the same.

>>33791757
I feel like most men over 50 just use the internet for work and porn, they don't converse

Dire Straits
Jefferson Airplane
Cream
Deep Purple (baring the hit)
Pink Floyd (unless early Floyd doesn't count as dad rock)
Fleetwood Mac

>>33791802
And live recordings of dadrock.

>>33791722
Got a girl pregnant by accident when I and her were both 19. She kept the kid, I payed child support for 18 years. He married his high school sweet heart at 20 then they had a kid. shit happens, it could happen to you. If you have sex, that is.

>>33791612
im poor as fuck

Bowie
The Doors
Talking Heads
Yes

>>33791757
I dunno man. I'm 23.

>>33791748
Having a kid when you're 21 isn't all that weird, and not necessarily dysfunctional at all, for this generation or the former. It's not the choice I'd make, but I don't call people niggers for it. Maybe I'm just strange like that, though.

>>33791858
Good thing he's on 4chan

>>33791802
a lot of boomer-age music buffs hang out on various phpbb discussion forums and argue about pickups and tube amps

>>33791858
I'm a gay virgin pops, no need to say act like someone's cooler because they have sex.

I'm just saying, it seems fucking ridiculous to have a kid before you can even drink or rent a car.
A generation or two ago? Sure, that doesn't seem too crazy. But I just can't imagine a person not even out of college thinking, 'Yes, this is a perfectly acceptable time to have children'. Society doesn't seem to be set up that way.
It wouldn't even be their fault.

>>33791244
>Beatles were better when they were essentially a boyband

My mom loves that shit "cause you can dance to it."

>>33791858

Did you have a relationship with your son or did you just support him financially?

>>33791973
>I'm just saying, it seems fucking ridiculous to have a kid before you can even drink or rent a car.

That's in the States.

>>33791904

also, stevehoffman forums. Would be a decent place for discussion if it weren't for the lack of under-40's.

>>33791982
Both, he lived with me during high school - single dad

>>33791973
He's 44 and from a generation or two ago.

>>33792021
True, though I still stand by my reasoning.
The drinking laws could change and I would still feel the same.

>>33792034
Unless he's a time traveler, his son isn't

>have a cigar just ended
>pause before wish you were here

i'm gonna let all that dad flow through me

Is this dadrock?

>>33791973

Biologically your early 20s are the optimum time to have kids, but in the West we seem to be having them later and later. Funnily enough, incidents of Down Syndrome births are rising.

>>33792075
Since he's not a time traveller, he's got a generation or two ago views and opinions.

>>33792100
Oh, of course, that's why I said it's a societal thing.
It's not as if you're not biologically ready, it's just that things are set up to keep most in a kind of artificial adolescence.

>>33791973
>I'm just saying, it seems fucking ridiculous to have a kid before you can even drink or rent a car.

accidental pregnancies happen. stupid things happen to young people. you act like I planned it. I will say that I'm happy that I have my son and I love having a grandson while I'm young enough to do things like teach him to ski. you sound angry tho, why's that?

>>33792100

Good for you. Really, I mean that. That's a big responsibility to take at 19.

>>33792171
He's a gay virgin in America.

>>33792171
I assumed you planned it, or consider it fine to, because you told us that it was an acceptable age to have children.
I'm disagreeing with you is all.

>>33792153
Right, opinions don't change. That's why when I come home, I shit my pants, pull out the Hotwheels, and flip on some Mr. Rogers

>>33792157

It's funny. At my age my father had already travelled around Australia (where I live), met my mum, had my sister and bought their first house. I feel so immature in comparison, yet modern society says it's OK for me not to have done those things yet. Makes me wonder how far this extension of adolescence will go in future generations.

>>33792235
Shitting your pants was a cultural thing to you at age 3?

>>33792235
>because you told us that it was an acceptable age to have children.

I said no such thing. Nor do I necessarily disagree with it. At the time, I would have chosen not to but after 'pregnant' happens, the guy is out the 'choices' picture. After that mistake, you make do the best you can, and I did - and I did do well, anyway.

>>33792293
I'm sure a lot of us are holding ourselves back, but it's not entirely so.
I have a buddy who's father fucked up and knocked someone up when they were 16. He likes to shout at us 'WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE, I HAD MY OWN CAR, I HAD A GOOD JOB, I HAD MY OWN APARTMENT!' that kind of thing. (And we were in high school at the time.)
Whether or not it's a reality, we've been fed that we MUST go to school or we're fucked, so everyone does.

My dad walked on to great job after great job with no education past high school, and that's just not the case anymore.

>>33792315

You still shat your pants at 3? I mean, you weren't toilet trained yet?

frank zappa, joe jackson, ramones, the clash, the beatles are all god tier dadrock/dadpop

>>33792405
I have absolutely no idea what I was doing between the ages of zero and five.

You've never spoken to your parents about your childhood? You should ask your mum. She'll love to tell you anything you want to know, I bet.

>>33792590
Kate Bush ain't fucking dadrock.

>>33792622

>>33789530
weezer is definitely not dadrock

>>33792618
I know that one time, when I was at least old enough to move about semi-independently, I took off my diapers and dragged myself down a set of stairs on my ass, leaving a trail of shit like a scatological slug.

>>33792585
What?
Pic was unrelated.
I'm drunk.
I can upload a live album/bootleg or two if you wanna stick around. If not, don't worry about it. I just think JJ's raw energy is much better live.

My dad's favorite band & album.

>>33792676
It refered to the picture you posted. Howard looks like he's going Lil Jon, which is funny to me. I'm not drunk though, just sleep deprived.

>>33792098
yes

>>33792707
Damn dude, fuck you. I had all but forgotten about when I "borrowed" my dad's Doolittle CD, blasted it in my car relentlessly, then accidentally fucked it up when I was on mushrooms. Now I feel like I should replace that shit.

>>33792736
Then it's the best dadrock.

>>33792515
i've listened to some of it. need to listen to more of his live stuff. got any links?

also, i love this version of One More time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nIGRF3CLro

>tfw my dad is into post-punk and post-hardcore and no wave and shit
I used to complain that he refused to into any bleep bloops or hip-hop, but he's straight patrish compared to some of you guys'. My condolences.
As for favorite dadrock, The Who and The Doors are GOAT.

what's really shitty is that my dad isn't content to listen to the actual good dadrock of his youth.
he's gotta get all into this embarrassingly dadrocky dadrock that's still being made today. like, i dunno, the ONCE soundtrack. or this fucking band called 'the rescues.' don't look them up. seriously. don't. they're very skilled and talented and FUCKING UNBELIEVABLY DEVOID of anything i can identify as an aesthetic quality.

Dazed and Confused soundtrack = dadrock?
What about Almost Famous soundtrack?

Fuck you I like them.

>>33792976
the music from once is not rock and roll
it's musical theater music *about* rock and roll
closer to "rent" than to any classic rock record.
just tries way, way too hard.
if it were released just as a rock record it would fail and critics would ignore or pan it.

Kid A
Daydream Nation

I can't choose between the two.

>>33792724
Gotcha. I just picked the pic because it's one of the most enduringly funny things I've found on the web.
>>33792820
Damn, that's pretty hot. I fucking love that song (I find that it's JJ's answer to Elvis Costello's No Action, which is the pinnacle of early New Wave, as far as I'm concerned). Do you have a version you can upload that's not YouTube quality?

Anyway, yeah, I guess I'll upload the live Joe Jackson stuff I've got. I've only kept the three major shows/albums that I think exemplify the best stuff. First up is Rockpalast '83, then I guess I'll do Live 80-86 and At the BBC. Stay tuned, and please respond if you're interested. If no one's gonna download, I'd rather not waste my time.

>>33793009
yeah, they're pretty dadrockish

i-i still kind of like those soundtracks though

>>33792965
My dad hates that shit because he grew up as a teen in the 70s and couldn't stand disco. He likes Lynne's guitar playing but unreasonably hates any type of synthesized sound because of disco.

>>33793064
i've only found the YT link. sorry, man. :( i'd be interested in those links, tho

>>33793153
Iunno but it seems more to me that Lynne was parodying the bold sweeping electronic sound.

I honestly could talk about how great ELO is for hours m9

she raised the biggest faggot ever though, lemme tell ya

3 more to go.

>>33793273
awesomesauce. thanks man!

My top 5:
Yes
Tasavallan Presidentti
Camel
Pre-Love Beach ELP
Harmonium

I'm really fond of progressive rock. Shame how the best songs of the genre were last made thirty years ago.

>>33793334
No problem. The next parts are coming, but slowly. Probably another 5 minutes or so until live 80-86 is done, and then another 10 minutes each for the 2 discs of Live at the BBC. I promise they're all worth it, though, so please be patient.

>>33793462
take your time, man. i appreciate that you're uploading 'em.

partway through the rockplasat one you uploaded. amazing so far.

Live 80-86
Kind of compilation live album, but great nonetheless. Personal favorite versions of Fools in Love and Look Sharp, plus a very interesting, slowed down take on Steppin' Out at the end.

>>33793666
awesome. that version of Steppin' Out sounds like it would be amazing

>>33793829
Yeah, it's a little disorienting, but it grew on me after a while. Definitely a really interesting and different take on a classic song.

Here's part 1 of Live at BBC. There's some raw studio cuts scattered in here, but there's also some nice pub rock played for spoiled college kids somewhere in GB (Ireland, I think). It's good though.

http://www66.zippyshare.com/v/41730918/file.html

Part 4 coming soon.

>>33793929
cool. part of the program is played for spoiled irish kids? sounds fun/random/cool

>>33794049
Yeah, it appears that it was England, not Ireland (listen to track 1 of this, the 2nd disc of Live at BBC). Anyway, here's the last live Joe I've got. Enjoy it, and keep spreading the good news.
