Why aren't the Beach Boys considered Dad Rock?

They're good

They are. What the fuck are you talking about?

too old

Fpbp

This

because pet sounds and smile sessions are two of the best albums ever made

>>73561895
I consider them Dadrock, if they're not usually then they should be. Dadrock doesn't have to be boring like ACDC or early Beatles.

because the beach boys were "cool" for like the first 3 years, then pet sounds came out and only weirdos cared about them.
Dads only remember the beach boys as those weird fat guys with beards who never got played on the radio

Sunflower or Surf's Up?

And then take that answer and put it against Today!

Which wins for you?

Sunflower
It's sad what happened to Dennis, he could have become a great musician in his own right

vocal harmony groups are grandma rock. grandad rock is guitar heavy

Dadrock specifically refers to hypermasculine blues-based hard rock that gets overplayed on the radio that the stereotypical white suburban dad holds up as a standard of baby boomer supremacy over millennials.

thanks dad

>>73562929
No it doesn't you dipshit it refers to shit normie Dad's like. Hypermasculinity is a large faction of that shit but not a rule.

>>73562694
but it does

>>73563186
smile sessions didnt even come out until 2011 nigga

It's grandadrock

>>73563227
but it is the rule

>>73561895
because they're grandpa rock

theyre not rock. its dad pop

Smile was more avant-garde and original than almost all /mu/core save for the likes of Trout Mask Replica and Can.

This. The Beach Boys aren't dad rock because by the time the era of dad rock came around (late 60s, 70s) they were considered lame and corny af.

I thought they were considered Great Granddad rock. (Not that this is a bad thing, mind you)

>>73561895
I asked my dad (who has a godtier/dadtier collection of albums, which I get get when dies and not a second sooner) if he had any early Beach Boys albums. He said no, because hes not a faggot.

>>73562879
Pacific Ocean Blue was a prettt good album thoubj

god tier cover art

>>73561895
They're Grandma Pop because nobody except for losers on chinese basket weaving forums like us actually listen to Pet Sounds or later albums.

>>73561895
They are.

>>73561895

wtf is dadrock?

>>73565282
Did you make sure to call him a pleb?

>>73561895
they were a boybands, dads don't listn to no boybands nigga

>>73565827
>my Grandma actually saw them live

They really are Grandma Pop

>>73564532
To top that, it nevers gets boring, especially when you listen to the tracking sessions, hearing each track evolve.

>>73562701
Only weirdos cared about pop music? In which reality exactly do you live?

>>73562701
A 20 yr old talking about something they have no idea about. You just talked right out of your ass.

Pet sounds was fucking huge. They were a household name.

Beach Boys were baroque pop therefore not dad rock

How come le wrong generation kids never name them in their pseudo obscure lists?

>>73561895
They are, anyone who says they aren't are trying to defend their favorite band.

>>73561895
They kind of are tho

>>73567338
The most popular group in the world was a boy band.

>>73562929
if that's true then why is Steely Dan considered the absolute hallmark of Dad rock?

Because they're Mompop :^)

>>73568228
but it's only after they began transitioning to being a non-boy band that dads fawn over them.
