Dadrock??? I'm sure glad I didn't use that term when I was a youngin'.

Dadrock is like the Beatles, Odyssey Oracle, etc.... :shycouch:

I love the DadMathrock of 5style:

I like math metal.

everyone else calls that classic rock.

I specifically came here to try to find out what the hell "dadrock" is.

My dad's a metalhead/hard rock obsessive, so...??

SOMEBODY PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME.

Are we talking about middle-aged white people who probably own yachts and do cocaine with their kids, who they've put through the finest preparatory schools? In which case I'm throwing out Hall and Oates and Air Supply.

I'm voting this best thread ever and voting for dadrock, especially post-dadrock like Pavement and Built to Spill and 90s era Dinosaur Jr.

Let us not forget about the Shleprock. My brotha's and sista's.

What about old school punk bands like the clash and such..

would those be considered Dadpunk??

Dadrock is aging rock stars that still perform. Especially artist from the 60s.

Some bands just don't know how to die with dignity.

That's why I always had respect for "Grace Slick" of Jefferson Airplane, she knew when it was time to quit, and I openly expressed the fact.

I think the term Dadrock is being misused.

When stuff was being referred to as Dadrock the insult wasn't so much the fact they were bands that your Dad listened to, it's that the newer bands (As they were then) were copying what your Dad listened to and would probably appeal to him.

The first time I ever came across the term Dadrock it was being used to describe poor 90s trad rock bands and / or who basically wished they'd been around in the 60s & 70s who usually end up on those Top Gear compilations.

Bands like Cast, Ocean Colour Scene, Oasis, Paul Weller and to some extent The Stone Roses, The Verve, The La's.

^ doesn't sound like dad rock to me.

Whenever newer bands end up replicating a similar sound of bands from a different decade they are usually called [insert decade] revival.

I just learned that Vanilla Fudge has been touring as recently as last year.

All I could think was "why?"

I love them. They're groovy. They're one of my favorite psychedelic rock groups but it's just not the same when you've got a bunch of old geezers trying to tune in, turn on, and drop out in 2014 to an audience who probably won't get it.

Calling something a revival is hardly an insult, that's what the term Dadrock was originally, a derogatory term.

Now it just means any old rock band.

man, if anyone's dad actually listens to the classic rock that's being called "dad rock", I wanna rock with their dad. They've got a cool dad.

Nice to see that someone else likes BATS :)

I'd definitely take bands like Drive Like Jehu and Polvo over any band labelled as dad rock.

Dadrock is LiLrock.

I wanna rock with all your dads, then. ALL OF THEM.

Literaturerock or Momrock? Go.

:laughing:

Paul Simon is Literaturerock.
ABBA is Momrock.

well, I guess I'm gonna have to rock with everyone's mom now, 'cause that sounds like a good time.

:\ literaturerock here, come one now Leviathan? Against like what, Pat Benetar? Actually this just got a lot harder...

Literaturerock would be Iron Maiden and The Smiths, I guess? Literaturerock for me.

As for the original question, I don't know a lot of math rock, though I listen to some math-influenced emo bands. If dadrock includes classic metal, then I'll have to say dadrock.

I kind of agree with Urban's definition of Dadrock, I always look at Wilco as the ultimate Dadrock band.

I saw a lot of mathrock growing up watching Sesame Street.

:laughing:

Its 2014: The Beatles are now OLDIES (and Odyssey and Oracle is the name of an album by The Zombies) ...those are 50 years old now

Unfortunately, Classic Rock is now The Cars..........hell,technically, Pearl Jam is almost now Classic Rock (they are two years from the 25 year mark)

I can't wait till 50 years from now Deep Purple and the like will be reffered to as dadmetal.

Dadblackmetal.
Blackdadmet–

Ok that last one sounds iffy.

:laughing:

Grampametal

Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, Suzi Quatro, and Lita Ford will all be classified as Grandmamametal in another 30 years.

(And I'll still want to jam with all your grannies.)

I agree. Also.. My Morning Jacket

What I love most about this thread is all the proof that humans don't share a perception of time. And that we collectively have horrible taste in music.

what are you engine, somebody who LIKES mathrock? gtfo
