How do you feel about this CD collection called Dad Rock? I guess it depends on how old you feel.

Well, at least it's all music - which faded out in the 90's when grunge and rap destroyed rock and R&B, respectively. Music is still being made, but is nowhere close to being as popular as it once was.

They’re not just dad rock, they’re grandad rock as well. That’s the way it goes, it’s called ‘time’.

I disagree with at least half of your comments.

I am old enough to fit into that category and remember that time quite well.

A more detailed rebuttal coming shortly. ‘Pod

Do it! So glad at least someone can keep the music going. I’m starting to get a little tinnitus now. Probably from standing in front of a full stack all those years (some stages were REALLY small!). I should just get a 20w 1x12 lunchbox combo...

The good ones in that list are already in my CD collection. The others wouldn’t be worth having. BTW, I’m 63 years old, so the 70’s is my kind of rock.

“vinyl still rules”

I always loved playing my albums, had around 400 of them at one time. My stepbrother has all of them now.

Is this a dads collection coming from a dad desparately trying to not come out of the closet?

No Zepplin? No Sabbath. No Van Halen? No Boston, Nugent, Areosmith ( without Run DMC) Rush, AC/DC. I have more rocking selections on my phone this this schmaltz! This is a classic radio line up where the only Skynard you would ever hear is Sweet Home Alabama. Give me a break!

LOL! I was never that much into the stacks. Now I have a Fender Frontman 25 with a 10” and headphone jack and in input for playing along; Fender Blues Junior all tube 15w with 12”; Fender Deluxe 40w 12” for bigger jobs(LOL) and I just picked up a Quilter microblok 45 solid state. This Quilter is small foot pedal sized and I can hook it up to a nice JBL 12” cabinet I have. Hooo Leee Crap. That thing can get loud. Only has Vol/Gain/Tone knobs so it needs some reverb added but yikes. Had tinnitus for years and now having some psoriatic arthritis issues and hand cramps but still pushing it. Mostly use the Blues Junior.

Dad doesn’t need to buy the CD.

Just listen to the oldies station on any FM radio.

These songs are played 24/7. All Day Long.
