Let's get comfy lads

Benjamin Nguyen
Steely dan, the eagles, billy joel
Austin Cooper
...
Owen Lee
Charles Mitchell
This is easily the best Clapton album, but damn he's been a part of so many great projects
Colton Barnes
ac/dc i guess idk
Liam Flores
this is tops dad rock
Benjamin Clark
I'm from Long Island, Joel is ingrained in my soul
Love Steely Dan, don't know much Eagles desu
It's my favorite of his body of work, however honestly I'd be hard pressed to say hes put out anything that wasn't ok
hell yes
Asher King

Anybody who doubts Clapton just needs to be shown this.
Gabriel Walker
Most would say ANY Springsteen, but true dad-rock Bruce is Born to Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town
Daniel Price
I'm so glad this band doesn't get memed on here. So fucking good.
Alexander Bell
They're the best Southern Rock there is and essential DadRock.
Freebird > Bohemian Rhapsody > Stolen from Taurus > Hotel California IMHO
Gavin Torres
Really wish the Police stayed together and Sting didn't turn into such a bore. This would've made a good track on their next album.
Angel Rodriguez
Not to mention Ginger fucking Baker holy shit
youtube.com
The Police were great. Roxanne is a total Car Song
James Davis
I think they broke up at the perfect time. I doubt they would have been able to keep up the quality of every album they had put out.
Sting's solo career is actually pretty good, but it's very different from his work with The Police. Give Ten Summoner's Tales a listen, it's pretty comfy. My dad and I would jam to that album a lot.
Kevin Wright
Dire Straits
Perfect example of dadrock
Austin Harris
>but it's very different from his work with The Police
Didn't Lord Copeland compose a lot of The Police's material? Would make sense.
Elijah Mitchell
>The Police were great. Roxanne is a total Car Song
In late high school I would drive around listening to Synchronicity, Greatest Hits and Live pretending I had a girlfriend in the passenger seat.
Jason Gomez
Copelands a 10/10 drummer and an amazing composer. I think he did one of the Spyro soundtracks
Ian Diaz
Nope. Most of it was Sting's own writing. Stewart was very influential on their early sound, but Sting took over pretty much immediately after their first album.
Nolan Flores
Yeah he did, composed for theatre too. One of my favourite figures in music.
Owen Cooper
Copeland and Summers got about one song on every album, but Sting was the main songwriter and would demo his songs 95% completed.
Jackson Clark
easy one

Grayson Gutierrez

Ethan Bailey

Liam Long
I'd include all of their albums. They were fantastic song arrangers.
I think one or two more albums of Synchronicity level quality would have put them at least at Queen level of legendary, U2 level of legendary for sure.
Copeland, not Sting, is the star of the band for me.
Matthew Morris
Off the beaten path I'll post less famous but it rocks to be sure. (BTW- 57 year old here who lived when these songs were released.)
Charles Wilson
Yeah, I had a running fantasy about one of my teachers who would've been in high school/college when the Police were big.
Camden Diaz
Anything by Rush. Especially 2112.
Anthony Rivera
I'm not trying to be "Le wrong generation" but in your opinion. What was the best era of top 40 you experienced, and what was the worst? Also why are you here?
Josiah Murphy
Isn't he a crazy asshole too? I remember about him and Sting hating each other's guts and Summers stuck in the middle. Similar to Clapton in Cream
Jeremiah Jones
Yes and No. From what I've seen the drum parts are all Copeland as sting's demos usually used a simple drum machine pattern. Some of the guitar riffs are Sting, but Andy, most famously created the Every Breath You Take riff. Also, a little less famously, the Bring on the Night Riff is also pure Andy. I'd put the completion percentage at 60% Sting
Nathaniel Young
Yeah he went crazy with The Police, then calmed down some when he went solo. Copeland and he hated each other. Stewart would always arrange his set so that he wouldn't have to look at Sting's side of the stage at shows.
Adam Ortiz
This
Parker Rodriguez
I love music from every decade from the 50's to 00's. Toss up for me of either 70's or 90's. as best. I'm not a huge fan of 10's to be honest.
Here is essential REO before they became a complete bore.
Bentley Sanders
Pete Townshend also recorded demos with drums but they were basic as fuck, Moon deserved a writing credit for the way completely changed the tracks
Hunter Gutierrez
>the drum parts are all Copeland as sting's demos usually used a simple drum machine pattern
As a drummer for nearly a decade now I still can't replicate his parts to a tee. Phenomenal drummer who would completely switch styles for each track. Not surprised that he went on to do some orchestral work.
Jack Perry
Thanks for answering
Joseph Perez
>From what I've seen the drum parts are all Copeland as sting's demos usually used a simple drum machine pattern
Yeah, I meant to say that. When I listen to their stuff now after having heard Sting solo and his demos, it basically sounds like Sting with Copeland's playing on top. IIRC Sting already had the idea for an arpeggiated riff for Every Breath and Andy just altered it a bit.
Nolan Cooper
Have a little "Humble Pie" "Take A Graeasy Whore and Rolling Dance Floor".
Luke Rodriguez
This is he first thread I've posted on Sup Forums with 0 shitposting or shilling.
Apparently Dadrock was the answer.
Samuel White
whoops no link
Nathaniel Kelly
But what will we do there?
Mason Garcia
And...One Southern Rock Band that could almost keep up with Lynard Skynard
BlackFoot - Another real rocker from the South.
Carter Kelly
No one has mentioned credence tf?
Also does oasis count as dadrock?
Dylan Richardson
nah oasis are mid 20s.
the smiths, stone roses, joy division etc. perhaps
Noah Taylor
How could I forget CCR
Thomas Martin
I like highway song. I've always considered the Allman Brothers to be the best southern rock band. Though I'll be a weirdo and say I'm not a huge fan of their jams other than Jessica.
Cameron Ramirez
"The Outlaws" cover of a Western Classic
Benjamin Powell
Dadrock anthem coming through.
Christian Sanders
meh, I'd consider Nirvana dadrock at this point but give Oasis another 5-10 years
Josiah Mitchell
I'dve gone with My generation or Baba O Riley, but solid choice regardless
bust out your Tommy Bahama Shirts
youtube.com
Camden Clark
Why are the Stones never mentioned in these threads? They're a top 3 dadrock band.
Mason Ortiz
Either way they are pretty much Dadrock: The Band and double up as Dadrock: The Movie with Quadrophenia
David Rivera
They're almost pure party music
Leo Carter
Grand Funk. I used to roller skate to this song back inn the day.
Parker Rodriguez
Because The rolling stones and Oink Floyd are shit over rated bands DESU
Luke Perez
Did someone say "The Stones"?
Dylan Richardson
Whats Dad Rock without GNR??
Blake Lopez
wouldn't say they were shit but inferior to everything around them
beatles innovating left right and centre, hendrix being the second coming and the kinks busy inventing punk. the traditional blues rock got stale
Bentley Gomez
1974- This song was getting airplay the summer "JAWS" first run in theaters. Pilot - MAGIC
Robert Lewis
Ok..thread dying so one last 70's classic.
A cover of the Chuck Berry hit.
I watched this "Midnight Special" performance when it originally aired. ELO had more "Midnight Special" performances the any other band.
Jeremiah Bailey
Stones were a huge influence on punk. Search & Destroy was punk before punk, and Jumping Jack Flash is Search & Destroy before Search & Destroy
Liam Phillips
>wouldn't say they were shit but inferior to everything around them
The Stones were pretty much an evolutionary dead end
Isaiah Ward
When it comes to rock music they were second to none. Hendrix? Let It Bleed makes him sound like an effeminate folk player
Angel Anderson
youtube.com
Go sit in the corner and think about what you just said.
Michael Young
This. Hendrix is unironically the GOAT. Best musician of the 20th century besides maybe John Coltrane
Asher Thompson
wtf how old is your dad?
Ethan Clark
That's a terrible example. Hendrix was stoned as fuck and on half the songs he leaves Mitchel alone and walks away to get even more stoned. The Rolling Stones were a powerhouse in the late 60's, with songs Hendrix couldn't even hope to write in a billion years.
Eli Green
Pic related is the GOAT dad rock album
Kayden Scott
That's exactly why I linked it. He's mashed off his face and tripping balls yet still shreds his strat to pieces.
Exactly this. Jimi is the most gifted and innate guitarist there has been or ever will be. Ridiculous to compare him to the Rolling Stones.
Kevin Davis
>He's mashed off his face and tripping balls yet still shreds his strat to pieces.
Oh shit you're an idiot. Why didn't you make this clear earlier so I wouldn't even bother?
Noah Anderson
Bump for dadrock
