"Befuddled by the shreddery" is my new favorite phrase.
I'd say dads in the late 50s were totally into how Eddie Van Halen shredded on "Eruption" on the 1st album, but dads in their early 50s were totally into "1984" and they had at least one friend who would play the opening keyboard riff from "Jump" every single damn time they found a piano. Both cohorts of dads would have listened to their friends arguing in junior high over whether keyboards in heavy metal music are or are not "gay."
"Steely Dan is the dadliest dad rock" deserves to be a bumper sticker.
My dad would have been 93 this year. He grew up with Hank Williams and was a big fan of Merl Haggard. One evening in the early eighties I started watching a live concert on PBS of David Bowie. Both my parents sat and watched it with me and enjoyed it.😮
If your Dad is 93 you should be dad age. Dad rock is what you like
Surprised not to see Queen mentioned in the dad rock list!😊
Because they turned out to be gay
@@Musicmaneuverswasn’t that Village People?
I remember listening to The Eagles greatest hits volume 1 on 8-track over and over and over again in his old van.
I'm a 76 year old dad/grandfather who still collects 60s psych rock. And not just the Airplane and Doors. I'm talkin' Gandalf, July, Chocolate Watchband, the Elevators, etc.
Have you heard Brainticket's "Cottonwood Hill"?
Fantastic video. This one had me chuckling! I have 7 of these masterpieces
My dad was into all the popular 60s stuff like Herb Alpert, Thelonius Monk, Brasil 66, Ramsey Lewis, If, Vince Garuldi...He didn't completely influence me, but he definitely pointed me in the right direction... lost him 4 years ago. He was a great guy.
Great dad rock list for sure, my dad is 72, and pretty much listened to everything you mentioned. But he really loved Uriah Heep, Jimi Hendrix, Judas Priest, Pink Floyd, Trapeze, Deep Purple. Thanks for all the great videos, Happy Fathers day to you also!
Us poorer Dads in the 60s and 70s could not afford to buy many vinyl albums and 8 tracks, so we listened to pop music radio stations, all the classic rock now.
My Dad LOVED Lionel Ritchie. When his songs came on the radio...he turned it UP. He was also a Billy Joel fan which i was surprised not to see on the list. 52nd Street was a favorite of his. RIP Dad...I miss you. Im 43. He dies when i was 19.
My dad’s favorite band is KISS. Named me after one of their songs…
My mom was a classical pianist, dad was an Air Force fighter pilot and in his 80’s still flys.
But he raised me on pretty much all the bands you listed. But what he was listening to was allot of Jimi Hendrix, CCR and the lot, but when Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin came on the scene he was hit hard. 70’s and 80’s hard rock and metal are his favorites.
My parents took me to Bad Company and Lynyrd Skynyrd in the early 90s. Bad Company was one of those bands that my parents would crank up on the stereo system.
Is really Rock but loved listening to Glenn Campbell with my dad! Miss him.🔊
My dad was into jazz. Every once in awhile he would break into a thirty minute dissertation on the greatness of jazz and how jazz was the only truly American art form.
He was right
Your dad would have been my dads best friend had they ever met.
It depends on what your dad called "jazz" - if he was talking about Stan Getz then I would agree with him but if Glenn Miller was your dad's idea of jazz then not so much.
@@ANationalAcrobat-qj2dlJazz is Black.
I'm a dad. Aged 66. I have six of those albums among my 1,200 collection. Maybe you should have qualified this as "American dads" 😅
My dad was into big band and country music. I was (and still am) a huge KISS fan. There were two records we really bonded over. Peter Criss' 1978 solo album and ELO Out of the Blue. We listened to those albums all the time when we went places. The ELO album was the one we listened to the most, and we called it boating music, because we always had it playing on our boat. Fun memories that I would give anything to do one more time.
Harvest by Neil Young. Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens were two of Dads favorite that I still love.
soft rock was strong with them Dads.
Joe cocker, Billy Joel, Chris Deburgh.
even Elton John... or Boz Scaggs (as in Breaking Bad!)
yes Neil should be on the list also! 🙂
BTO- definitely Canadian Dad rock!
Love your videos! This list was spot on. I’m a 64 year old dad. I own 90% of the records you showcased. I was into records when I was a kid/teen. Got married and had kids and have been dragging around a milk crate full of records for almost 40 years!
About a year or so ago, I put together an inexpensive 80’s Sony stereo and started collecting records again. I’ve been buying used vinyl from local stores and record conventions and having a blast.
Love your videos and hope to check out your shop on my next trip down south!
Happy Father's Day to a dad who rocks
I own 5 of the 20. Happy Fathers Day!
Love this! I'd say you nailed it. Happy Father's Day, Dillon!
Saw BTO open for Van Halen…in the Greensboro Coliseum! No spaceships involved though…lol. I did see Boston at the Dean Dome on the Third Stage tour. Still no spaceships involved but one of my all-time favorite concerts!
Hey! I just watched a Rick Beato video about AI writing new music! So appreciate your Dad's music written by real people!
Great video Dillon! My dad liked a few of those Boston, Beatles, Tommy. His big Pink Floyd album was The Wall, which he got me into as a young boy. As a Scottish dad though, he liked some other dad rock: The Police, early Genesis, ELO, 10CC, Barclay James Harvest, and the big one… Supertramp! My dad also loved a compilation (like you I’m not so keen). Well for Father’s Day, my kids got me First Utterance by Comus and Tone Soul Evolution by Apples in Stereo… yes, I pick my own FD presents 😂 Happy Fathers Day! Cheers, Jack
Last comment: Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Not Fragile! Epic! BTO is another Canadian band. They were also the first band I ever saw live back in the '70s. The second band I ever saw live was Queen on their Night at the Opera tour...
Great trip down memory lane...
Love me some dad rock. I'm not big on Boston, but my dad listened to that a _lot,_ among numerous other things on your list. Good times! 🍻
yeah, more of a chicago guy myself for the horns!
But Boston "higher power" is the best faith rock song I can take,
as an atheist
Boston are pop-rock
Boston has been severely overplayed on the radio for decades, hence I am burnt the ef out on them and can't really stand them anymore. Lol
I love that you never post any "albums that suck" or "albums you love that I hate" videos. Your videos are always so positive and inclusive, not to mention informative and interesting. Thanks for being a beacon of positivity in the VC, Dillon.
Edit: I'm a 55yo dad and I have 10 of the 20. 😂
As a dad I can confirm. I have owned all but three of these. I'm taking credit for moving pictures cause that's the one Rush I have.
Great Dad Rocks albums! I love them all
As a Dad, one of the coolest things that happened with my youngest son was the first time I borrowed his car, and Dark Side was in the CD changer.
Every album you mentioned are all my favorites!!
My dads favoryte band is pink floyd in the from wish you where here and ongoing Gilmours work of today. We actually saw roger waters last year together in Hamburg and we will see David Gilmore this year in Rome. Oh and another dad classic gor me is supertramp. My dad loves them.
Great selection! You definitely rock, dude! Looking forward for more of your classic rock library. Greetings from Mexico!
I would have thought Who's Next is way more Dad-ly. There are at least 4 songs on there that are staples of classic rock radio that some Dads have listened to every week of their lives since the album came out.
It’s as if you when thru my music collection!!!! You are spot on with your list!! Happy Father’s Day!!
And don’t forget to connect the dots on the back of Abby Road. It will create the number 3, as three remaining Beatles.
Must have taken you forever to make that list, having to rule out soo many great dad rock albums. Let me add a few of my faves...
Cat Stevens. Supertramp. Alan Parsons. Doobies... OMG the list goes on.
Great vid.
Happy fathers day all.
I’m a dad of a teenage girl and boy in my 40’s and I have every dad rock album except Aja. You nailed it!
Sadly my hero is gone and I’m getting up there myself. When I was a kid and got the music bug, my Dad commented on how he loved a song by Eddie Arnold. With that in mind I was so excited to buy my first box set at Woolworth’s for him at Christmas. He never played it or much of anything else. But he was always there and one of maybe 3 Fans at one of my football games. Thanks Dad, you were the best!!!!!!
You nailed this one brother 😂❤🎉
Step Dad was an old school country guy. We heard lots of Statler Brothers, Johnny Cash, and his favorite Merle Haggard. Miss him a lot and the music always brings back fond memories.
So glad you squeezed BTO in there👍
almost had to!
Like Guess Who, in canada they are legends ! ""No time" !!
Grand Funk Railroad
I have 14 of these albums...fantastic list!
I’m a bit older but some of the albums that make me think of my dad are Roger Millers greatest hits, Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, David Allan Coe greatest hits, all of the early Kris Kristoffersen.
I’m 63, been collecting albums and all music for over 5 decades now and my kids know it. My kids see and hear music 🎵 of multiple genres so for Father’s Day they bought me 3 albums. Black Sabbath Vol 4 (I did not own that sabbath yet), The Specials new release and a Joan Jett repress I didn’t have. Great kids, they dun good. 👍 😊. Oh and my dad bought me my first hard rock Lp in 73’ Deep Purple Machine Head…cool dad eh?
Hahahahaha. Great fricking video. Thank you so much for making it and honoring us dads from that era. I am 55 and I was smack dab right in the middle of all that.
Having said that, I was a late comer to the “dad rock” world. When I was growing up my parents were so into music. I swear to you, I was about 12-14 years old before I heard any of this stuff. My dad was what they called a greaser. That is a 50’ term for a guy that loves working custom hot rods, going cruising, fighting and chicks. So up until I was 12-14, all I ever heard or knew about was Doo-Wop. That is LITERALLY ALL THEY EVER PLAYED!!!!! Which I still love to this day. The memories and the emotions of those days in my room for hour on end listening oldies. Man, those were the days.
So we move to a new area and one of the kids I became friends with asked me if I wanted to go listen to some records. Of course I said, heck yeah… now mind you, ALL I EVER HEARD WAS DOO-WOP. I totally thought that was the only music around. My friend goes into his brothers room and pulled out 4 albums that changed my life FOREVER…
Van Halen 1
LED Zeppelin 4
Rush Moving
AC/DC Back In Black
You want to talk about minds being blown!!!!!!!! I could not believe what I was hearing. Where did this music come from? What world was I living in? This could not be more polar opposites. From that moment on, o was into everything.
When I had kids, I exposed them to everything as well. I played music all the time, even while my wife was pregnant
My wife was pregnant with our son when Metallica Black album was released. Of course I had a kickass car audio system back in the day. So I would crank the shit out if that cd and my son was kicking and moving all up in there. It was crazy. They ended up being my sons favorite band for most of his childhood.
Thanks again for an awesome video that hit home for me and I send it to my son, as I am sure he is making fun of me the whole 14 minutes of this video. And I don’t care, I am the happiest dad in the world.
Keep you the great videos and if you just happen to have a spare blood moon from your new reissue, let me know I just might pick up fro you.
Take care
John
Happy Fathers Day bud.
Have a great day and well thought out list.

Spot on for me and I’m a dad (now grandad) born in the 60’s. Grew up in the 70’s and 80’s and this is absolutely my playlist. My boys can definitely attest to it too! 😎🤘
I've had that Boston album since before I was a Dad around 25 years old. 14 years later with 3 sons, it's still one of my favorites ever.
Yep I know about all those albums, I was born in 51! I'm listening to some Janis Joplin now🎉
D.A.D (disneylandafterdark) is the most daddiest dad band of all time and it was always in the cd player of my dads car, back in the day
I still remember the first time I heard Boston. I was riding in the backseat of my Dad’s 2002 Firebird on the way into town and we hit a straightaway on the state road right as More than a Feeling started. He cranked it up and I swear it was about as close to a magical experience as I’ve had. I must’ve been 7 or 8. amazing.
Spot on list! You have to mention Steve miller band and the doobie brothers. Dad rock in all its wonderful glory!
I had over 500 albums including all the ones mentioned. Lost to fire in 1996. 13 Beatle albums, almost every Stones until Steeler’s Wheels(saw them 4 times), all Syknyrd albums until and including Street Survivor. I had the original that was pulled, and about every rock album, 1963-80.
Dad’s Rule!! Most of the Dad rock albums you showed are still better than most stuff coming out today I grew up listening to those albums and still listen to them today Rock on Daddy
I’m a dad. I was 21 when Woodstock happened. I like about 2/3 of the bands in the list. I was surprised that Jimi Hendrix was not mentioned. And Hall and Oats. In concert I have seen The Who (3 times), Led Zeppelin (2 times), The Eagles, Eric Clapton, ZZTop and Paul Rodgers (the singer for Bad Company) and others. Interesting video.
Gotta do one for the dads that listen to classic r&b and old school hip hop
I'm a 72 year old dad, my classic picks are a little different. The albums I still listen to constantly are Moody Blues Days of Future Past, ELO A New Worlds Record, Raspberries 1st, The Band Self Titled, Gypsys' 1st , BeeGees 1st, Steve Miller #5, Spirit Twelve Dreams of Dr Sardonicus, Youngbloods Elephant Mountain, Byrds Untitled, Working Mans Dead, Little Feat Dixie Chicken, Mountain Climbing, Johnny Winter 1st on colombia, Allman Bros at the Filmore, Bang Bang Youre Terry Reid, JoJo Gunne Bite Down Hard, T Rex Electric Warrior and more
Now I was on a business trip to North Carolina back in the 90’s and was very surprised how popular Rush was, as a Canadian I was stoked to hear that
Dad and I always had Rumours in the van.
Happy Father's Day Dillon!✌️. Edit: that epic dad concert spaceship story is PRICELESS
I'm a Dad in my 60's and you nailed it with: Boston, Back in Black and Dark Side of the Moon.
I was 5 years old and my Dad had 'Cosmos Factory' on and it sent me on my path of being a huge Hard Rock/Heavy Metal/Thrash Metal fan. he also was a big Johnny Cash fan which influenced me as well. Here's to my Dad, RIP Dad.
My father was not that into rock at all. His favorites were Sinatra and Tony Bennett. But I am surprised that you didn’t mention Born in the USA or Jimmy Buffet. Buffett was the first thing I think of when I hear the term “dad rock”. And I heard someone refer to BITUSA as Dad rock just last week when it was the 40th anniversary.
Thanks Dillon! Happy Farter's Day!
I have 13 of those shown.
Bruce Springsteen, Born in the USA was in his bronco’s tape deck for most of my childhood
I'm a 60 year old dad. I'll go for the Beatles and CCR lp's
Wouldn't want any of the rest.
.
I must be a cool dad. I only have 3 of those albums. It's like tuning into a Canadian VC channel.
I discovered last week if you look at that Boston album upside down, the spaceship is actually a guitar.
My dad was into New Wave and Grunge for the most part. Lots of 80’s and 90’s stuff. U2, The Police, Squeeze, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, stuff like that.
"Befuddled by the Shredery"....the name of my next all kazoo, Van Halen tribute band!
My dad was mainly into classical as he was a traveling salesman and it was the most widely available radio music. With that being said he also introduced me to Led Zeppelin (II) and Santana Caravanserai. I still have those vinyl along with a few more he got after listening to my music choices. He got into Golden Earring, Queen, The Who, George Thoroughgood and he also liked my electronic and space music and would borrow mine. We always had music going whether it was doing yardwork, playing cards or just around the house. He and I loved a lot of music though we really didn't get into Rap or Country. I wish I had the ability to organize my vinyl like Dillon does but I still have it and I pull it out over time.
I’ve always had a complicated relationship with my dad. But music is the one thing that we connect with. Boston’s debut album, which he played a lot, ignited my passion for music as a kid. Heart’s Dreamboat Annie was also played a lot. Moody Blues, Little River Band, Queen were all regular spins growing up. Now my kids hear my eclectic taste in music. Got them hooked on The Beatles out of the womb.
I’m probably older than your dad (75 next month), so my list is a bit different. My dad was born in 1913, a very different time. His favorite was Frank Sinatra, especially his Capitol period. Songs For Swinging Lovers, Come Fly With Me etc. Next would be anything by Ella Fitzgerald. He turned me onto Jazz when I was 12 by playing me Dizzy Gillespie doing “Salt Peanuts”. He loved all the great big bands, Duke Ellington, Count Basie etc etc. When I was 13 (1964) my parents took me to see Nina Simone. Yea, they were pretty hip. Thanks for sharing
Curtis Loew baby, catch me singin that in the car on any given day lol!
Dad Rock, so many different variations due to various generations. Interesting vid and happy Father’s Day.
Cheap Trick “Live at Budokan” needs to be on here. ELO “Out of the Blue” also!
Great list Dylan. I've got to have me Steve Miller too.
Chris de Burgh "Man On The Line" is a great dad rock album. and Laid Back Sunshine Reggae
the daddest of dad rock - Foo Fighters!!
In his early days, my dad listened to the Beatles, the Kinks, Neil Young, Nina Simone and several Dutch beat bands. Later on he was into Paul McCartney & Wings and early Roxy music records. His favourite record though was a compilation called ‘the original American folk blues festival’, which had some fine live performances by Memphis Slim, John Lee Hooker, T-bone Walker, Willie Dixon, amongst others. I still have that record, and i spin it quite regularly. These days my dad only listens to clasical radio. I guess the records you showed are maybe more typical for US dads into classic rock.
Eddie Money, Billy Joel, Dire Straits are the big ones for my dad (and most of the ones mentioned)
He was cool though, liked a lot of the current 90’s and 2000’s stuff at the time. We jammed to Gin Blossoms, Third Eye Blind, Oasis, Coldplay, Dave Matthews, 3 Doors Down, all of that.
I'm from England and my" Dad Rock" suggestion would be "Brothers in Arms" by Dire Straits. Damn my Dad and all his mate Dads loved that record. Air guitaring all over the place when we were kids
Where’s Bruce Springsteen? Ultimate dad rock artist
I randomly streamed Abracadabra by Steve Miller Band this morning. It just dawned on me the spirit of Fathers Day was in me!
great video really enjoyed. Feeling old I guess, in mid 40's but I love all these albums and bands you showed. Especially Bob Seger!! I'll take Back in 72 and Brand New Morning as my two favorite Seger albums!! Boston too! hell yeah!!
Happy Father's Day, Dillon! - Didn't you forget Journey?
Is that Rush album an original Canadian Moon Records release? If so, I am envious.
I am a Grand-dad now and you nailed it for this one except I do know Bon Scott and DDDDC is the first album in my alphabetically organized vinyl. Best Bob Seger for me will always be Night Moves, and ZZTop is and always was - Tres Hombres. AJA made a major impression on me (spent a shitload on the UHQR version!!!) The Aerosmith constantly in the 8 track was Toys in the Attic and we'd always listen on a swoop home... One band two albums I won't ever forget from those days are Eat A Peach (Mountain Jam and One Way Out - (once listened to a Philippino Band do One Way Out and they killed nightly in Olongapo) and of course Brothers and Sisters (another couple for the swoop)! I enjoy your videos very much!😎
As a dad from Rochester, NY, home of Lou Gramm, my ultimate dad rock album is Foreigner 4.
My dad was a huge Beach Boys fan, which ultimately is my favorite band.
Great, fun video!
I'm 71, and I have all of these albums, but the Kiss one. You forgot the Rolling Stones!!
Dad Rock. You know what it is. Don't you? "OH YEAH....SURE. DAD ROCK!"
My dad is 65 right now and some of the things you featured on the list are correct. He started collecting LP around the early 70's I guess to the early 90's, and the genres mostly consists of rock and blues. Took over his old collection a year ago when I started the hobby, most of it has seen better days, but it's some good stuff that's still playable. Deep Purple, Nazareth, SRV, Steve Miller Band, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix and Dire Straits are a few that I imagine would fit in too.
My uncle is in that area. Add on The Guess Who, America and Judas Priest.
If you play "The Wall" backwards at the "if you don't eat your meat" part, it says
"Ahh You Have Found the Secret Message, send ** to Old Pink"... something like that...
if you listen forward you can hear the backwards talk right after he says pudding stuff...
love this video - as a dad, i own and love way too many of these - but some of these are pretty divisive with dads either lovin' or hatin' on it - and obviously the haters are wrong. i'd love to see your Misfits dad list, or RATM dad list - maybe next year you can do the jazz dad list? also, it's interesting that this list doesn't embrace the 80s-lovin' dad - quite a few of those, on either the rock or new wave side! thanks again for another great video! and happy Father's Day to you!
Second Helping is amazing. You nailed this generation of Dad’s. I have a Spanish first press of Bad Co and it is amazing!!!!! Don’t have the A75 yet
Dire straits. Foreigner. Journey.😊
