Offspring, get ready . . . it's time for all thoughts to turn to your old man, whether you're a doting daughter who knows that a perfectly handsome fella is no substitute for Pops (Anita O'Day's "My Heart Belongs To Daddy"), or whether you're a legendary guitarist who never actually met his father — such was the case for Eric Clapton, hence his soul-searcher, "My Father's Eyes" (a song he "retired" in 2004). Whichever way you cut it, our dads' selection is all about the main man. A rodeo dad bequeaths a spot of luck to his son, in Next Steps.

Fatherly advice plays a big part in our dads' pop playlist. Big Al Downing tells us his "Daddy's Words" included the warning that "free advice ain't free," while Chris LeDoux celebrates heeding his father's words of superstition — i.e. to wear a lucky hatband on the rodeo circuit, thereby achieving "Daddy's Biggest Dream." Patty Biscoe serenades more horse-riding fathers on "My Daddy's a Stockman," and Loudon Wainwright III considers the cycle of life that sees "men change back into boys again" on "A Father and a Son." Talking Heads introduce us to a freaky kind of papa, in Deep Cuts.

The bizarre section of our paternal song emporium is proudly occupied by Talking Heads, whose "Papa Legba" exerts a strange paternal magic, and '60s proggers the Nice, who give the age-old question "Daddy Where Did I Come From" a surreal dimension. Slim Dusty invites to "Sing Along With Dad" (Why? Because we like it), Eartha Kitt praises the big fella's sartorial showmanship on "My Daddy Is a Dandy" and the Everly Brothers send their heartfelt harmonies in the direction of "That Silver Haired Daddy of Mine."

Where would we be without dads? The good ones help us negotiate life's uncertainties (and send us money when we're broke), and the bad ones are uncaring rats who make our lives miserable (and forget our birthdays). Our selection of dad tunes offers the full range of fathers, from the wild men who lived life on their own terms ("Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" by the Temptations), to the wise men whose words of advice ring true (Jackson Browne's "Daddy's Tune"). Knowing what we know about Michael Jackson, "To Make My Father Proud" seems more poignant with every fresh play, while "Father's Day" by Weddings Parties Anything stands proud as the Aussie standard on the subject.

Customer Reviews
Missing a couple of big ones
Easy to sit back and pick things off but I would have thought that Cats In the Cradle by Harry Chapin (not Ugly Kid Joe!) and Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics were certainties
