Top Ten "Dad Rock" Bands of the 70s
"Dad rock" is just for adult men and make teenagers who likes to listen to classic rock and metal and say that "pop is just for young teens who have a crappy taste in music", "true rock is dead nowadays", and "Jacob Sartorius' songs has no meaningful lyrics and they rather drink bleach".

Just google Bobby Sherman, Shaun Cassidy, The Bay City Rollers, Lisa-Lisa, Marky-Mark, 98-Degrees, and about a thousand more.

"Come down with fire, lift my spirit higher, someone's screaming my name, come and make me holy again" (Man On The Silver Mountain).
