Which form of Dad Rock is best?

Gordon Lightfoot

 

What is dad rock

 

Voting Steely Dan over Bruce was the hardest decision of my life*.

*I haven’t had a very hard life.

 

He transcends “dad rock” imo

 

Yacht rock

 

Jimmy Buffett is rock?

 

Which part of Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads do you not understand?

 

Creed or Nickelback

 

All of the above have me scrambling for the skip button

 

Haha, you are one pathetic loser

 

Would also accept The Bridge.

 

You left "please kill me instead" off the list

 

Bob Seger
Great fucking concert last night
Roll me away

 

Steely Dan.

 

Smells like a fresh pair of Air Monarchs in here.

 

Anything that you like that embarasses your kids or makes them roll their eyes. Zevon, Journey, Crue, Eagles, Foreigner, Dead, Bowie, Seeger, et al.

 

every dad likes Aja so I think we know the answer

 

I adore Aja

 

Playing Zevon for your kids is a risky movie

 

A little Excitable Boy to see if they listen to the lyrics. Once they're in their teens. (Voted Dead out of choices given.)

 

I also love aja so yep the poll is over

 

Voted Dylan but love some Steely Dan as well. The rest are all kind of meh for me.

 

I troll my kids by singing U2 songs.

 

Paul motherfucking Simon

 

van morrison, dire straits, neil young, Crosby, Stills, Nash/young all deserve a mention. hip dads love wilco and the war on drugs

 

with that being said, yankee hotel foxtrot is a perfect album

 

When I was little my best friend’s mom used to call me Excitable Boy

 

I dislike all poll options so I went with other.

My other choice is this poll is fucking stupid.

 

Go cry in your pie, bitch

 

I saw him live a few years ago and he did nothing but crack dad jokes in between songs

 

You really want me crying in your mom's vagina then?

 

Bob Seger
ZZ Top
CCR
Lynyrd Skynyrd

 

I don’t see how that’s any of my business

 

The National

 

Pearl Jam's last album

 

Bad Company is my go-to

 

Everyone likes to go to the beach, so Buffett hits every demo. Thus, he’s the winner despite having probably the worst music of poll options.

 

You left out AC/DC, CCR, Eagles, etc

 

My kids hear Pearl Jam every day. My boy asks Alexa for State of Love and Trust.

 

Credence for me.

 

Good thread. My answer is Steely Dan. Grew up with Peg, Reelin in the years, and Dirty work playing on the Sony Stereo in the TV cabinet.

Saw Paul Simon for his final tour last year, and he’s still got it.

 

For me, dad rock needs to be music that I didn't really like all that much when I was younger but like more and more the older I get. Bob Seger is quintessential dad rock
