Boston [Epic, 1976]

When someone told me that a group had achieved an American synthesis of Yes and Led Zeppelin, all I could do was hold me ears and say "Gosh!" C

Don't Look Back [Epic, 1978]

Debut pomposities having been excised, what remains is a pure exploration of corporate rock--the cliches carefully selected for maximum effect, while Brad Delp's tenor being too thin for nasty cock-rock distractions leaves us free to contemplate unsullied form. The fact that I occasionally find myself enjoying it must still mean there's some corruption at work here--true formalists, from Mallarme to bluegrass, leave me cold. B-

Third Stage [MCA, 1986]

A decade later, whatever convinced Tom Scholz to release this album certainly wasn't multiplatinum ambition. He's more like the pope of latter-day arena rock, crafting elaborately-woven textures and magnificent cathedral vocals as a purveyor of an art-metal thought long extinct. Not as bad as you'd think, nor worth giving a second thought to. C+

Although it's incredibly dated to it's time period, I really like this album. Very nice proggy song writing while keeping a heavy edge and never getting too bloated or pretentious.

That's more like mom rock, not dad rock.

>>71747464
that's really funny, really true, but I still super duper love all those acts (steely dan is dadrock though)

I just really love good songwriting, and Billy Joel was occasionally brilliant at that, and Bernie Taupin is a beautiful poet. I don't even care about the music as much.

I personally like the Police and probably consider them to be the best New Wave band all of their albums are great

>>71745875
I'll second these guys. Though I prefer their condensed studio stuff to their jams

>>71747835
I wanted to hate this album, but some of the non radio played to death songs are amazing

Early Elton John was as much Dad Rock as Mom Rock...but bottom line...Its just great Rock and Roll. (coming from a Dad who bought the album when it was released and still has it and it plays perfectly still).

most dadrock is objectively good music

>inb4 t. dad

>>71752013
Aerosmith are bro-tier guys that had genuinely good compositional and songwriting skills, but they fucked themselves with drugs because Columbia put huge pressure on them to become rock stars when they never aspired to Rolling Stones status, they wanted instead to be a slightly under-the-water AOR band like Black Sabbath or Rush.
