Lightning Bolt is as deliberately dad rock as it gets.

To me, for my dad, the obvious answer is Ten. Lots of solos, big choruses, classic rock influence.

If you hate your dad.
Personally I wouldn't subject anyone to Lightning Bolt. Not even Hitler.

The one with the most simplistic 4/4 beats so he can bob along to them

I mean every dad is different. Your punk rock dad won’t like the same thing as your distilled rock dad or classic rock dad and so I guess you would base your choice on what your dad likes. But I am going Lightning Bolt as the generic album for the generic dad.

In general I would think Ten and early Pearl Jam is the way to do it. For sure play some slower songs on Vs like Daughter and Small Town. But if you know your dad well, and his musical style better fits the No Code/Yield period (let's say he likes Wilco, Grant Lee Buffalo, The Jayhawks etc), that's the place to go to. If he's gone full old dad music on you, and doesn't want any noise on his radio. You could do Backspacer, Just Breathe, The End, etc, maybe throw in Last Kiss as a bonus.

Awful answers. Yield or No Code.

Probably something with a heavy bassline, since it'll need to penetrate six feet of dirt.

We have not discussed dad’s age. Is it a dad in his 70s because the Pearl Jam fan is 40-something? A 40-something dad who either already knows Pearl Jam or REALLY wasn’t paying attention in his teen years? These also matter since dad in his 70s gets the special guests Earthlings while dad in his 40s might get Vitalogy.

My dad is 60 and his favorite PJ album is Riot Act. Such a hipster.
