Tyondai Braxton?


...

Matt Garrison?


Richard Strauss

Jean Michel Jarre


Jakob Dylan

singer in Wallflowers

Ok, maybe not the greatest band in the world, but surely gotta be hard to move out of Bob's shadow


Erm...

Jeff Buckley?


Tim & Jeff

better answer than mine! Ziggy Marley also though


I like your username, it reminds me of The Simpsons

"The suspect is hatless, repeat, hatless."


^correct answer


.

Sean Lennon? Inara George? Jeff Buckley? The Webb Brothers?


Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach

Gottfried Heinrich Bach
Johann Christian Bach

None of them as good as JS though...


Damian & Ziggy Marley

Also, Norah Jones's dad was Ravi Shankar


Flying Lotus on Warp

His great-aunt is the late Alice Coltrane who was married to John Coltrane. His music is pretty wicked.


also

john coltrane's son robbie. well, not a musician, but still pretty famous.


only one more from me

as am finishing work soon

Woody & Arlo Guthrie


Apple Moses

or whatever it's called


All the Wainwrights

Martha and Ruffus


Kim Wilde


the

mystery jets

got to win surely?


Zak Starkey


Albert Hammond Jnr?

..............................................................................................


yeah but

was henry an 'established musician' before the mystery jets?


Peaches Geldof

hahahahaha.

On a serious note, Mozart?


nancy sinatra

freddy prinze jr?


Genuine answers

Rufus Wainright (not Martha) and Albert Hammond Jr.


Zak Starkey?


Oh

Dom said him. I still say him.


robert levon been

of brmc fame

maybe??


Virginia Astley

and her father Ted.


Liam Finn's solo album is pretty good

About 100x better than his dodgy Betchadupa outfit


Elvis

Costello better than Ross McManus

Hank Williams III better than Hank Williams Jr, but not as good as Hank Williams Sr


Nas

is much more famous than his dad, Olu Dara, but to my mind isn't as good.

Discovered that Shawnna Guy - feisty, rap-laydeee, is Buddy Guy's daughter the other day. Slightly odd. Apparently she shouted out - "My mother-fuckin' dad is in the house" - at a gig once. That'd be right Shawnna...


femi kuti

arlo guthrie


Liam Finn

is really worth a listen


Adam F

According to wikipedia he has had 12 top 40 singles


Haha

I forgot Adam F was Alvin Stadust's son. Quality.


Sebastien Tellier

His dad was in Magma, the French prog rock band.


magma rule

.


if you rate the classic that is 'two step side step'

then brian wilson and the beach boys


The Webb Brothers

Sons of Jimmy Webb.


Soulwax/2ManyDJs

brothers Dewaele are sons of an important DJ in Belgium's musical history... Zaki, the belgian equivalent of John Peel. So not so much children of a musician but a man still very much a part of it.


isn't frances bean cobain

supposed to be in a sort of high school band with thurston moore's kid?


WHAT?

I must hear that


Son of Dork?


Kevin Haskins' (Bauhaus/tonesontail) daughters

according to Xiu Xiu dude is doing good stuff...I haven't heard 'em but since I just read this today, I pass it along.


roy harper and nick harper

roy...fantastic artist in his own right...

nick..unbelievably good guitarist


The bloke in the noodling

obsessed Battles (Tyondai Braxton) is the son of Anthony, the composer who I believe has released over 100 albums!


er.. Matt Bellamy?

His dad was in the Tornadoes, who had the first ever UK no.1 hit with 'Telstar'.

'Telstar': Telstar was the first active communications satellite (launched in 1962), and the first satellite designed to transmit telephone and high-speed data ... etc

Wonder why bellamy is into all this H.A.A.R.P stuff..


Teddy Thompson

Did a good country covers album
