Let's get these ones out of the way:
>Cage the Elephant
>The White Stripes
>The Black Keys
>Franz Ferdinand
>Queens of the Stone Age
I would argue that many of this generation's kids are going to grow up hearing Ween on their way to school. Songs like Ocean Man, Even If You Don't, It's Gonna Be (Alright), and Transdermal Separation are very popular, and carry the same appeal as many Beatles hits. What do you think?
Most of the pleb level metal like Megadeth, Slayer and Burzum
The Killers
Future
Young Thug
Migos
Yes but this isn't rock
Imagine Dragons
Twenty One Pilots
Drake
This generation won't have "dadrock". That would be like Generation X having "dadswing". Just because the genre still existed in your parents' lifetime doesn't mean it was relevant.
Dadrock has a very specific meaning, specifically buttrock that middle aged men listen to on the radio while washing their car. None of these bands are the kind of stuff that qualifies for this.
My bet would be the Arctic Monkeys, the Mars Volta or Foo Fighters, if they aren't already. But I have definitely identified one for "mom-rock."
The way I see it, Panic! At The Disco is the future "casino-core," meaning that in the next 10-15 years, the only venues they'll play at will most likely be at Las Vegas luxury hotels where they cater to middle-aged moms screaming their faces off as though they were teenagers. All the signs are revealed anyway; the actual fact that they originated from Las Vegas, their derivative, bland pop rock tunes with a bit of pseudo-emo dripping in for good measure, Brendon Urie essentially being the only member of the band as if he were some solo artist, and the hundreds of thousands of adoring fan-girls who will no doubt be just as middle-aged as Brendon and continuously listen to his music despite the fact that no serious music listener would even remember P!ATD in 5 years or so all lead to the path of boring debauchery and dripping middle-age mom sweat from their shirts. Remember that one episode of Malcolm in the Middle where Malcolm and his family go to Las Vegas, and Lois forces Malcolm to watch some shitty singer do renditions of Madonna songs? That's essentially what I foresee Brendon will become. Hopefully a future Lois takes a future Malcolm to watch P!ATD, and the second a bra envelops his face (like how Brendon fainted when he got hit with a bottle), he ponders to himself when seeing black how his mother became such a huge fan of this terrible band.
pic related is basically dadrock already, right?
Correct. If anything would qualify for that, it would be bands like Staind or Nickelback rather than the hipster crap that the OP listed.
What a horrible reality
We won't have dadrock, we're going to have dadrap. In fact I would say we already have dadrap, it's just the kids aren't old enough for it to be widely acknowledged yet. Eminem, NWA and Snoop Dogg I would say are total dadrap.
>Has Franz Ferdinand but not the Strokes
Current dadrock bands:
>Nirvana
>Pearl Jam
>Green Day
>Sondgarden
>Alice in Chains
>Red Hot Chili Peppers
>Jane's Addiction
>Metallica
>Foo Fighters
>Guns N Roses
They're all classic radio station staples now.
All the bands listed on the other replies have at least 10 more years to go if they even get to be considered "classic rock".
Why can't we have both? In fact, why not just have dad/mom music regardless of genre?
>lists a bunch of plebian buttrock bands
But he asked which bands will be the dadrock of the future.
What do you think dadrock is, you stupid moron? It's buttrock that basic boring suburban dads listen to because they lost their virginity to it in the 10th grade. Your shitty indie hipster Sup Forumscore bands aren't what they play on CRR.
pic related.
Also Meshuggah, Disturbed, Korn, etc.
how has no one mentioned mac demarco yet
Great post.
Meshuggah isn't radio friendly so they wouldn't play them on CRR and the other two bands aren't listened to by anyone older than 13--all their original fans grew up and moved on a long time ago.
Arctic monkeys
The black keys
Royal blood
King gizzard
>all their original fans grew up and moved on a long time ago
Every dude I've ever worked with (Military) would disagree with you.
Yes, it's been awful.
Thanks.
>burzum to children
kek
Out of the bands mentioned in this thread:
>QotSA
>Cage the Elephant
>The Black Keys
>Nickelback
Royal Blood maybe once enough time has passed. Same for the White Stripes.
Bands with a commercial almost generic sound or otherwise are popular, will get lumped into the dadrock group just like the list from That's the trend, in my opinion, to be considered dadrock after 30 years of active duty.
Definitely not Meshuggah. I mean, Slipknot has been around 20 years and they're not being broadcast on classic rock radio.
I agree with Megadeth.
But Slayer and Burzum are too extreme to be lumped in the dadrock category.
>They're all classic radio station staples now.
This is true. I hear grunge all the time on Led Zeppelin radio. I feel so old
Coming from the perspective of a 25 year old, I would assume it would consist of most of the following for my peers once we hit 35-40 - note that bands listed with asterisks will apply mostly to Canada which is where I'm from:
>3 Doors Down (mostly just the singles from the first few albums; specifically Kryptonite)
>Arctic Monkeys
>Billy Talent*
>Coldplay (lots of groaning from many)
>Fall Out Boy (specifically the singles from Infinity On High)
>Foo Fighters
>Green Day (specifically the singles from American Idiot)
>Kings of Leon
>Linkin Park
>Muse
>My Chemical Romance (pretty much just the singles up to and including the album Welcome to the Black Parade)
>Nickelback* (although a lot of it will be with groaning)
>Our Lady Peace*
>Queens of the Stone Age
>Rise Against
>Seether (will be more on the fringes of remembrance though)
>Sum 41*
>System of a Down
>The Black Keys
>The Strokes
>The White Stripes (just for Seven Nation Army with most people)
>Three Days Grace (albums up until Adam Gontier left)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but did you insinuate that the dadrock bands from your list are generic/commercialized? Because if so, I disagree for the most part. Although many of those bands are hugely popular, I wouldn't say they they're commercial or generic, besides Guns N' Roses and Metallica. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, RHCP, and Green Day were essentially the pioneers of Alternative Rock; most of them came from independent and underground scenes. I can see why you might think so, because of how after their success and acclaim, many imitators emerged to capitalize on their Alternative sound, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're commercial or generic. If anything, their fame was attributed with their uniqueness. RHCP mixed Indie/Punk and some Heavy Metal with Funk and Rap, Green Day blended Punk with Alternative and Pop, and Nirvana mixed elements of Noise Rock, Hardcore Punk and Sludge Metal with more melodic sensibilities a la the Beatles.
>I hear grunge all the time on Led Zeppelin radio.
What city do you live in? I've never even heard any of the bands mentioned on his list (besides GNR and Metallica) on any other station besides Alternative/Indie radio, mainly because they're more classic Alternative.
kids getting into ween would be cool, I see people of all ages at ween shows
>What city do you live in?
Ottawa, Canada. The big classic rock station is Chez 106.1
I used to listen a lot more obviously when radio was still a thing but I still tune in in the car, and almost every drive I hear a song from 1990+, which was never the case 10+ years ago.
I can confirm for
>3 Doors Down
>Foo Fighters
>Green Day
Three Days Grace is a good contender.
Again, SOAD and other metal bands are bit hard to consider dadrock since they're not a typical sounding band imho. I really can't imagine Chop Suey being played on classic rock radio.
Nice post tho.
I did not mean to insinuate it as you put it. That's why I said
>or otherwise popular
Your points are valid and I appreciate your comment.
If I were to mention generic sounding bands, perhaps I'd go with Nickelback or Creed.
Classic rock station KGB 101.5 in San Diego, CA also plays all the bands from except for Jane's
>Again, SOAD and other metal bands are bit hard to consider dadrock since they're not a typical sounding band imho
Yeah, I tried to leave metal bands off but I do think some SOAD will carry over. Songs like Aerials, Lonely Day and maybe even Toxicity could make it; B.Y.O.B. seems too harsh though for classic rock radio. Also I meant to add to my post that I think we'll still see some hits from what we already would call dadrock carry on like "Enter Sandman", "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Thunderstruck" just because they're so huge.
Also add blink-182 and early Jimmy Eat World (especially "The Middle" and to a lesser degree, "Pain") to my list of bands.
*Will continue with a second post.
2/2
Had a bunch singles pop into my head (from bands that I didn't previously mention) released up to and including 2009 that will be played like crazy:
>The Reason - Hoobastank (can't believe it's already 15 years old)
>Dani California and Snow (Hey Oh) - Red Hot Chili Peppers (yes I know they're already considered dadrock but that single is more ingrained for my peer group)
>Dragula - Rob Zombie
>Before I Forget - Slipknot (I think it's radio friendly)
>Cochise (the most likely of these four), Doesn't Remind Me, Like a Stone and Show Me How To Live - Audioslave
>Make Up Your Mind and Santa Monica - Theory of a Deadman (might be my Canadian perspective bias though)
>Welcome Home - Coheed and Cambria ("omggggg remember when we'd stay up til midnight and play Guitar Hero while we'd chat up Emily on MSN?!")
>Paralyzer - Finger Eleven
>Are You Gonna Be My Girl - Jet
>Mr. Brightside - The Killers
>Dirty Little Secret - The All-American Rejects
>Ten Thousand Fists and Stricken - Disturbed ("ooooo ah ah ah ahhhh")
>Woman and Joker & The Thief - Wolfmother
>The Kill and From Yesterday - 30 Seconds to Mars
>Miss Murder - AFI
>The Diary of Jane and Breath - Breaking Benjamin
>It's Not Over - Daughtry (fuck, I can't believe it's been over a decade since he was on American Idol)
>You're Gonna Go Far, Kid - The Offspring
>Steady as She Goes and Salute Your Solution - The Raconteurs
>Ain't No Rest for The Wicked - Cage the Elephant
>How You Like Me Now - The Heavy
>Beverly Hills, We Are All on Drugs and Perfect Situation - Weezer
I feel really, really old.
>Enter Sandman
>Welcome to the Jungle
> Thunderstruck
Yep, already rotating on classic rock radio.
The lighter SOAD songs make sense.
>The Reason - Hoobastank
Holy shit.
What about Incubus?
They're a reasonably sounding popular band. I can hear a few of their songs on dadrock stations.
I forgot about Weezer. Their singles from the blue album are already on dad radio rotation also.
>What about Incubus?
I didn't add them because they're not even really on my radar for the most part - that, again, might just be my small town Canadian perspective. The only song of their's I can even think of is "Anna Molly" which is good.
Ween are too out there and they don't have hit singles.
>too out there
Yeah, I feel the same way about Primus. I've never heard them on the radio.
Megadeth has nothing that's playable on the radio. Maybe they have one song from Youthanasia but that's it. The only classic metal you ever hear on the radio would be Paranoid, You've Got Another Thing Coming, and the singles from Metallica S/T.
I'll add Iron Man & Breaking the Law.
Megadeth, though not on classic radio, does get played on rock stations
>Sweating Bullets
>Symphony of Destruction
But that's it.
>Symphony of Destruction
I'm sure Girls, Girls, Girls, and Kickstart My Heart have been rock radio staples since the 80s.
>transdermal seperation
It's called Transdermal Celebration IDIOT
anyway getting more people into ween would be really cool, but I don't think they'll ever get to beatles level.
Not him, but i hear all of those bands with the exception of Green Day on the classic rock station in Chicago (97.9 The Loop, Chicago Classic Rock)
More like strip club staples
All those RHCP and Audioslave songs have already made the jump my dude.
Fittingly, too. Most guys who were into those bands while they were big are in their mid-30s now/
I listened to slayer when I was 12 my man. Its babby tier shit.
For you. Not for normie radio listeners
>Dadrock
don't you mean dadRAP? that's what the kiddies are into nowadays
This is true. I am 36.
