Dad Rock - noun \dad-rawk\ 1. popular American rock and roll bands from the 1970s and early 1980s well like by parents of children born in the same time period; often used by fathers to deride the musical preferences of their children. "Son, back in my day groups like Steely Dan and Dire Straits didn't need things like autotune or sampling to sound great."

Going by your definition, my tiers would be:

Top (still in heavy rotation): 70s prog (Rush, Genesis, Yes, etc.), Led Zep, The Who, Zappa, Floyd

Mid (great fallback bands): Deep Purple, Grateful Dead, Allman's, Clapton, The Cure, Bowie, Chili Peppers, Steely Dan, Talking Heads, Miles Davis, Return to Forever & similar fusion

Crap (stuff I was into then but not now - can still be good in small doses): Hair Metal (Crue, Def Leppard, Dio), The Cult, The Police, The Pretenders.

Although I'm more likely to be listening to prog metal these days (Opeth/Tool/Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree, etc.)

Yep although I would move the Police to mid probably but otherwise works for me.

British bands are generally not allowed. Also pink floyd, aside from being brits, transcends generations. kids of all generations like pink floyd.

Says who? I am not a dad. But I am in my 50's and Brit rock is a huge part of what I listen to. I do agree on Pink Floyd though.

What? How about Australian bands?

 
the reason most british bands dont count is because a lot of them transcend their generation. what makes up dad rock are mostly the crappy classic american bands that the older generation will defend as superior music until the day they die.
