RFI: What is Dadrock?

The main difference between Dadrock/britpop has to be that the former doesn't stretch to the art school/glam end of the latter (Pulp), nor the punkier stuff like Elastica. Supergrass would borderline perhaps? The second album displays definite dadrock tendencies, it sounds like a conscious attempt to aim for some sort of rock classicism. (Good record though). Not sure about Blur though.

FUCK OFF YOU NUTTER

the best way to get rid of Britpop would probably be for dads and teachers to get heavily into hip-hop

Did someone say "BBC3 sketch show"?

Dadrock i dont think meant bands that dads were into, it meant kids making retro music that sounded like the bands dads listened to from 20+ years ago. So the actual 60/70s bands weren't "dadrock"
Obviously with mojo and Q jumping on the bandwagon some dads did get into 90s stuff because they sounded like the bands from their youth.

JIMMY BUFFETT.

No. If Jimmy Buffet is dadrock, I hate dadrock.

Jimmy Buffet is something else. Something horrible and lame.

I know a couple of 30-something dudes who like Animal Collective. I don't feel uncool in the slightest for thinking they're turd.

THANKS for that opinion!

I had missed it the previous 20 times it was posted.

and well done Robin for bringing up the rear with the hell ditto yet once more.

I feel exactly the same way about Embrace lol

I know MANY 30-something dudes who like Super Furry Animals. I don't...

go on, tell us how overrated Nirvana and Radiohead are again please. Vintage Challops 10 years+, serve without "cool".

my dad: America + Simon and Garfunkel + Norah Jones + The Dark Side of the Moon

There is no such thing as "dadrock". It's called Britpop, and it was the best thing to happen to music for the entire 90s.

dad and rock and snrub and geir.

depressing that what was dadrock only 9 years ago is firmly grandadrock now

There is no dad side of the rock; it's all dad, actually.
