page 1 Fathers Day: Albums for All Types of Dads

It’s that time of year again when we show appreciation to the men who we owe our lives to. No, I am not talking about your future ex-husbands (you know I’m right, have you seen the divorce rates these days??), I am talking about your father! 

Now even though I was generalizing and not all children are blessed to have a father who is always there for them and who always provides them with the love and affection they need but, for the sake of this editorial, we are going to pretend we all have the perfect father and we are trying to get our perfect father the perfect album for a Father’s Day gift.

Not all fathers are alike but they tend to fall in one of the following categories. Find your “father” and check out what kind of music he would prefer…

The Used To Be a Rocker/ Mr. Too Cool For School Dad

bobdylan6 15 09ah Fathers Day: Albums for All Types of Dads

The father that still believes he can fit into the leather pants he has hanging in the back of his closet somewhere from the time he went to the KISS concert in the 80′s. He loves Rock & Roll music but back when it was actually ROCK & ROLL music.

Album Suggestions:

The Hippie Dad

BobMarley6 15 09Ah Fathers Day: Albums for All Types of Dads

The father whose stash you’ve probably found hidden around the house. He doesn’t believe in interfering in his children’s lives, they will live and learn from their own mistakes. He has done/tried everything once. He loves life and doesn’t stress much. 

Album Suggestions:

The Conservative Dad

Beethoven09 6 161 Fathers Day: Albums for All Types of Dads

The father that is all about traditions and rules. He works hard to keep everything orderly and to help provide for his family. He likes to relax and listen to music that will calm his nerves. 

Album Suggestions:

The Rugged Dad

Springsteen6 15 09ah1 Fathers Day: Albums for All Types of Dads

The father who is oh-so rough and manly. A strong man who believes that children are the woman’s responsibility. He lives his life fast and loud, which is how he likes his music.

Album Suggestions:

The “Typical” Dad

the beatles6 15 09ah Fathers Day: Albums for All Types of Dads

The father that has a 9-5 and always makes it home for dinner. He doesn’t complain (at least not when you’re around). He tries to live care-free and enjoy everyday of life. 

Album Suggestions:

The Sports Loving Dad

public enemy6 15 09Ah Fathers Day: Albums for All Types of Dads

The father who will ignore you when there is a game on. He is a macho man who believes sports are his life. His mood changes with the game. In order to be pumped up for all the athletic excitement, he needs pump up music to motivate him and get him in the mood.

Album Suggestions:

The Slightly Gay Dad

ABBA6 15 09ah Fathers Day: Albums for All Types of Dads

The father who is emo-ish and confused. He has a feminine side and is not scared to explore it. He is sensitive and caring. He enjoys the sounds of sweet melody and isn’t afraid to sing out-loud along with the music.

Album Suggestions:

What kind of dad do you have? What albums would you suggest that are not on our list?
