worst

Maybe my two, most of the time, consider me "Dad", but I'd likely disown them if they got me something like this for Father's Day.

Imagine the worst type of condescending rubbish a record company can throw at you? Consider the implications of rehashing the same old, mostly bland, AOR nonsense over three compact discs (something else that's obselete!) and handing it to demographically-defined middle aged men as a present. Even the kindest of them will silently wonder "what's this shite????"

I love the cover though. However, the idea of me and Aaron working in either our shed or greenhouse on projects together whilst bopping away to "The Dad" album is a complete fantasy - a misnomer of megalithic proportions put together by some smug advertising executive whose ego is larger than his bank balance.

Journey, Boston, Whitesnake, Toto, Starship, Foreigner, Chicago, etc. You get the picture. Some of the worst excesses of corporate popular music ever committed for public consumption. 

Please don't be fooled by this dreadful marketing exercise. If any of the track listing appeals to you, there's any number of free download sites that will gladly give you 80s rock nostalgia to your hearts' content. 

A really nasty trick.
