>>72575508
anything by bon jovi

>>72575508
Muse, Radiohead, Queen, The Smiths, The Cure, Coldplay, Oasis, Blur

>>72576546
People know Oasis and Blur outside of their one hit song???

>>72576546
ugh, maybe moms that are in their late 20s/early 30s. doubt thats what OP had in mind

>>72576555
Why not? That's just pop rock.

Rumours

>>72575508
i bought this album like a month ago, what should i expect?

>>72576593
I hope you didn't pay more than two dollars for it because otherwise you got ripped off.
Also it sucks. Her voice is just the worst thing.

>>72576557
My mum is in her 50s and likes most of those bands, they're hardly new.

>>72576593
A bad album

>>72576610
>>72576674
dang, well i paid 2 dollars for it so I didn't get ripped off at least. On the bright side I also copped Automatic for the People in great condition for the same price so not all was lost that day.

>>72576651
yeah the Cure is from the fuckin 70 and 80s

On a similar note, classic rock is not dadrock if you're my age, I was born in 1995 and my dad was 26 then

My mom is 49 and she likes Adele, does that mean Adele is momrock?

>>72576933
Yes, it's classic mom rock

>>72576945
My dad likes Silversun Pickups and The White Stripes, does that mean they're dadrock?

>>72576955
The White Stripes are the most dadrock band to become popular since like the 80s. Even more than Pearl Jam.

>>72576977
Is Death Grips dadrock?

>>72576999
Teen dad rock maybe.

one of the best albums of the 90s

fuck the naysayers, jagged little pill is great

The Police

>>72577041
No, they will never be dad rock

>>72577241
Why not? My dad listens to them and he's the same age as the band members

>>72575508
I listen to this from time to time.
There's nothing that embodies the 90s like this sound. It's a nostalgia trip every time.

>>72576999
my dad liked Jenny Death

REM
Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler
U2

>>72576546

IS SHE PERVERTED LIKE ME?
WOULD SHE GO DOWN ON YOU IN A THEATER?

Every female over 40 just listens to whatever they play on their local soft rock station.

You know the one.
The one that plays Maroon 5, Adele, and John Mayer all day.

>>72577041
I guess the people who listened to them in the 90s are dad-age now, but their music had enough youthful energy to the point where I feel like they'll always be a band for disenchanted teenagers/early 20-somethings.

>>72576977
I don't get it when people call Pearl Jam dadrock. Weren't they the poster boys of the 90s teenage rebellion alongside Nirvana?

>>72576593
10/10 pop/rock album. seriously one of my all time favorites. some unforgivably shit lyrics on "Ironic" but everything else just gets right to me

>tfw almost all the music I like is dismissed as 'dad rock', 'dadcore' and now 'mom rock'

Actually not that bothered to be honest, it means I tend to get on well with middle-aged chaos at work.

>>72578793
*middle-aged chaps. Middle-aged Chaos does sound a bit like a band name though, you can have that one on me.

>ITT: list literally every commercially successful pop rock band of the last 30 years

hurr we're so smart and superior here on /mu/

>take top 40 rock songs from FM radio circa 1987-2012
>call it mom/dad/uncle/neice/dog rockcore
it's lazy, but pseudo nostalgia works

The Lemonheads

Neutral Milk Hotel

>>72578667
Teenagers from the 90s are old enough to be parents of 4chan users. I'm 20 and my father is a 40 year old that loves Pearl Jam

>>72579680
Same. He also loves Soundgarden.

>>72576555
This is the most American comment I have ever seen.

>>72576546
oasis does not seem like mom rock

>>72578631
This.

>>72577404
SHE WAS GONNA SHAKE HER ASS

ON THE HOOD OF WHITESNAKE'S CAR

>>72580578

>>72580466
My mum loves Oasis.

>>72580466
Every hipster chick I've ever met loves Wonderwall. I'd assume it'd be the same for former hipster chicks.

taylor swift is the mom rocker par excellence. the reason she sells so many albums is because she appeals primarily to adult women (who actually still pay for albums for some reason). Her lyrics present an idealization of teenage girlhood that appeals exclusively to people who have long exited that age range.

what teenager could ever take "you belong with me" seriously? that's clearly an adult fantasy about teenagers, sung by a teenager who has tapped said adult fantasy

My mother listens to mainstream modern stoner rock/metal.

>>72576593
Piero Scaruffi gave it an 8/10. Enjoy.

DOES SHE SPEAK ELOQUENTLY?
AND WOULD SHE HAVE YOUR BABY?

>>72576593
Starring Jagged Little Pill (Maverick, 1995) is the girl-gang of Head Over Feet, a song that patted on his distinctive mood changes and one of his most melodious tunes, and especially that of Ironic, in which The alternation of tones is even more fun and the refrain is even more emotional. In this little dramatic monologue, Morissette reveals a prodigious sense of musical confusion, capable of speaking, whispering, shouting, and modulation with the same naturalness, and then ready to explode in a shrill teenage tone.

But many of the songs rely on the arrangements, which transform the stunned melodies of All I Really Want into psychedelic fables. It is you, Oughta Know, who knows another classic, a rocky ballad exploding in a chorus-rhyming and then in one of his modulated screams, marked by the electric guitar. Even in this song, however, the instrumental fabric crumbles in a psychedelic way between one and the other. The hand-in-hand shuffle of Hand In My Pocket presents her as a mature and independent Chrissie Hynde, but her monologue retains the dramatic tint of the vulnerable girl.

Mary Jane presents her instead as the melodramatic singer of country music, a role she does not confess to, even though she lets her show off the vocal qualities that her ballads rarely require. The songs are almost psychotic orchestrated by producer Glen Ballard, who uses keyboards and guitars (entrusted to several sessions) as emotionally as possible, indulging in extreme timbres and rhythmic fractures, leaving the singer with the full responsibility of the melody . All her personalities explode in that maelstrom of crazy voices that is You Learn.

Is Dave Coulier dead yet? It seems like he should have died in some tragic drug overdose by now

>>72579680
Yeah my dad was born in his 20s in the 90s

>>72582523
I meant to say was in his 20s
