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.

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.
