What CD Shall i get my Dad for christmas, Help!

[georgia7jq]

I want to get him a cd for christmas, or maybe a few. But i'm struggling to come up with bands.

He's like a typical dad, he things the 2nd kings of leon album was the best, and the newest album is the 3rd best.
He likes ACDC & The Ramones, but thinks the Sex Pistols were one of the worst bands he saw live.
Likes Blues music, and The Fabulous Thunderbirds (the band..), and David Grey.
Dislikes Bruce Springsteen a reasonable amount, but likes Neil Young - when hes not being too weird.
And he liked White Denim (Again the band) before the cool kids at school did ;-)

I was going to get him a Gaslight Anthem CD, but figured since he doesnt like Springsteen he might not like them.

My next choice is Dave Matthews Band album 'The Best Of Whats Around Vol. 1'.

Just suggestions, from my little explanation of what my dad like, would be very very useful.

[maxvsmaradona]

He may not like springsteen, but maybe you should have him check out The Hold Steady.

[alis21]

I got my dad a Beirut album for his birthday. He didn't listen to it :(

[DanTGD]

Brokencyde.

[SmallFrailBoy]

Mark Knopfler put out a pretty great album this year. It was very bluesy. That's something from your dad's generation that he might be into.

[georgia7jq]

He already has brokencydes album ;)

But i will go start checking out all the others :)

Bill Callahan may also appeal to gramps.

[briewer]

The Clash?

On second thought, Nick Drake's Pink Moon is the only good option.

I was going to say that because I've been listening to him all day, but I didn't think it was suggested he would like that by his tastes.

Not that any reasoning person should ever dislike this album.

[georgia7jq]

Well after having a listen to Bill Callahan i might well be buying that album for myself..

Right, now to carry on listening to the others...

Nick Drake looks like what my dad used to look like 25 years ago..

Nice! You will not be disappointed.

[lindZ629]

Does he have David Gray's newest, Draw the Line?

Also I'd stay away from The Best of What's Around unless he's just getting into them. If he is, that could be a decent option or any one of their first three albums should work.

[sweepthenation]

Queen - Sheer Heart Attack

[EastCoastKid]

Bring Me The Horizon - Suicide Season

My dad loves that album.

[heyguys123]

my theory that all dads love gaslight (well at least the 59 sound) has yet to be disproved.

[georgia7jq]

Yeah i was going to go for The Best Of Whats Around because he hasn't got anything by them, just seen a performance of them on telly and liked them.

Yup, got all the David Gray stuff already, or i was going to go for that :)

[georgia7jq]

Yeah, i thought that, when i saw gaslight i'm pretty sure me and my friend where the only people not to be 40+ with atleast 1 kid..

[BryterJonah]

Bring Me The Horizon - Suicide Season

My dad loves that album.

Is your father deaf?

[georgia7jq]

Right, had a quick word with the mother, apparently Nick Drake is a good idea, so i think i'm going to buy him one of his albums, and then Bill Callahan - Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle.
And if hes lucky a dvd too.. haha

[crypticv24]

Maybe something by The Low Anthem.

[Jake Denning]

The Reign Of Kindo.

[veselino]

You probably know which music your father listened when he was younger. Explore a little and then buy him a nice "targeted "CD. ;-)

[Shatter_Glass]

The newest Springsteen. All dad's have to love The Bruce.

[Shatter_Glass]

New Junk Aesthetic

I picked it up for my grandmother, if was a tough choice between this and Axe to Fall. Ultimately I think I made the correct decision though.

[zac_montucky]

Maybe the new will hoge?

[Cøltøn]

The Acacia Strain - Continent

[Fullblast]

The Graduate - Anhedonia

[RushAndAPush]

The Gaslight Anthem - The 59 sound?

[EastCoastKid]

Is your father deaf?

Just kidding my man.

[Bi11 Lumburgh]

Forever The Sickest Kids - The Weekend : Friday, a big hit with any father

or my second option

Jay Z - The Blueprint 3, another solid choice

[andthetruthwill]

Get him a Dance Gavin Dance record. Either Happiness or Dowtown Battle Mountain.

[andthetruthwill]

Bring Me The Horizon - Suicide Season

My dad loves that album.

That was seriously the first record I thought of when I clicked into this thread. Well spoken.

[Akissforher]

pat metheny group. well thats all my dad ever listens to.

[bladerdude360]

Maybe he'd like John Mayer's new cd. I know my dad likes his stuff.

[Waldorf]

susan boyle

[Smeee]

The Reign Of Kindo.

bingo. I win.

Great band. So good, in fact, that even my mother likes them!

[Nourez]

i wish i had you dad! my dad hears any of my music n says "WHAT THE CHRIST IS THIS!?!?!"
My mom likes Owl City. I'd rather she just not listen to music at all.

[awakeohsleeper]

I took my dad to see Brand New and mewithoutYou a few years back (needed a ride). He enjoyed both bands. He's awesome though.

[Mochem]

If he like blues rock, he might like the new Joe Bonamassa cd, The Ballad of John Henry.

[xScrewed@Birthx]

Maybe he'd like John Mayer's new cd. I know my dad likes his stuff.

I don't think the springsteen cover is gonna fly lmfao.

[aradiantsunrise]

Maybe he'll enjoy a Lovedrug album.

[Brand-new-123]

As Cities Burn - Come Now Sleep
