They're a more dynamic band than people give them credit for, too. Hopes & Fears, Under the Iron Sea, Perfect Symmetry, and Strangeland all go in substantially different directions from one another.

 

Is It Any Wonder? rules

 

Who the hell is this Keane band everyone’s on about?

hopefully a Roy Keane tribute band.

 

It's the bomb.

 

mom music > dad music

 

my dad likes sublime so you’re right

 

My dad likes Steely Dan who are definitely better than any band my mom likes

 

Sublime rules, Steely Dan rules, dad music rules, mom music rules, binary attitudes dont rule.

Thems the rules

 

My Dad got me into Joni and ABBA and Mary Chapin Carpenter and The Beatles and The Who and Gordon Lightfoot.

My Mom got me into the Commodores and Earth Wind and Fire and ZZ Top and Garth Brooks and George Benson.

Terms like “dad rock” and “mom music” are reductive, reinforce outdated gender norms, and serve very little purpose other than being dismissive.

 

Quite literally the only music I can ever remember my dad getting me into is the song Brown-Eyed Girl

 

listen to oasis

 

Neither of my parents are big into music. I've heard names from them but they didnt really introduce me to much. My mom is mostly 80s rock and 90s pop rock. My dad is pretty much just Eagles, Dan Fogelberg, and Sade.

 

Much longer than that IMO...

 

Yeah you're probably right, the golden age was so long ago now

 

Good GOD do I love Dan Fogelberg

 

Whats the Dan Fogelberg album to check out?

 

My personal favorite is Nether Lands (more orchestrated singer-songwriter) but his most accessible and probably his greatest achievement is The Innocent Age. It’s on the short list of great double albums, IMO. It’s structured like Springsteen, where each of the 4 album sides has an opener and closer and is sequenced like a complete thought.

Can’t go wrong with either record.

 

Innocent Age, Nether Lands, Phoenix

 

I can’t fight Phoenix in the 3 spot too hard given the hits and masterpiece closer, but Souvenirs will always hold that third spot for me personally.

 

my dad is easily the most musically knowledgeable person i know. my mom is also very in tune with great music, she stays away from music thats a little more out there but has a great ear for pop music of any kind. both of them worked in the industry for many years.

 

I highly doubt that music would have such a massive presence in my life without my parents

 

I grew up in a Christian household so it was all Newsboys, Audio Adrenaline, DC Talk, and Third Day for me lol

 

If only. They would be an infinitely more interesting band haha

 

My mom is a 70 year old Swiss woman who doesn’t speak English but it is into Hip Hop and R&B

 

My dad was into classic 70's rock bands but... stayed stuck in that time, and not just musical wise.

Wouldn't be posting there if my cousin didn't gift my brother and I his collection of burned pop punk and numetal (Sum 41, Blink, Linkin Park, Papa Roach...) CDs when I was like 6 or 7, which kickstarted my musical journey. Idk how, but he suddenly got into breakdancing at the time, even professionally, and turned into a hip hop / R&B connoisseur without looking back. What a twist.

Oh and Keane are great and also have excellent bsides. Haven't listened to their newest stuff, nor the singer's solo album though.
