The Beatles sons: ugly and worthless
Bob Dylans son: one hit wonder

Madonnas kids: ?????
Nancy Sinatra: cool chick, but not very talented
David Bowies kids: ?????

JC Bach?

The original artists worked hard, honed their craft and triumped over adversity to get noticed and become the best. Their kids can make slop and be proped up with no need to get better so they rarely do.

That said Bowies kid makes movies and uses his actual last name so you wouldnt really know and has made really good shit.
>>
>>130148091
why would they be otherwise?
The Beatles, Dylan, Presley etc, were their parents musical geniuses? Your whole question is built on one huge, incorrect assumption

Bach was so talented that he had two actually influential sons. Crazy.

It's sad that Mozart's sons did nothing of note and Beethoven never had any children

Roseanne Cash, but her brother tried to also make it as a country singer and was completely worthless.

Him and Hank Williams Jr. don't count because they never actually knew their dads.

>>130148091
Terry Melcher was an exception to the rule I suppose but yes most of them are useless.

Wilson-Phillips and Nelson really shouldn't have bothered.

david bowies son is a movie director, he made the movie "moon" which was an indie hit, he also made the much forgotten warhammer movie that only made money because of china

he has sort of fallen off the radar since then

>warhammer

i meant warcraft

>>130148579
How come so many normies love him but hardly any of them know of his dad? Did Jeff just make way more accessible music? I've only ever listened to Tim.
>>
>>130148779

from what i have seen hipsters like to pretend his dad made better music, but personally im rocking with jeff more.

he had one good album and died tragically like a true gen xer

I think it's similar to the trend of musicians becoming decent actors, but rarely the reverse. Famous people think they can just show up in studio and bee themselves, and people will love whatever they spew onto tape. But it's hard to craft a compelling persona through music alone. And in the case of nepos, theirs will always be measured against their antecedents.

He was born with his father's incredible voice and used it to do covers. A talentless hack

Country music dynasties are an old tradition and most don't work. Waylon Jennings's son tried to be a country singer and was totally pathetic. Ruby Wright? LOL one hit with a novelty song and that was it, couldn't fill Mama's shoes.

I think its easier to make it on your own than to break out of your parents shadow

His dad did make way better music.

Actors are in the business of pretending to be somebody they're not. Not sure that translates well in music. Was watching a Pearl Jam performance in 1992 and seeing Eddie Vedder lose it after 4:00, it's like an explosion of rage.

he had other hits. 6th avenue heartache is a better song than one headlight

music requires actual talent unlike movies. Look a the Michael jackson movie. The lead actor had 0 acting experience before that.
>>
>>130149620
Beyond connections, being a successful actor is 90% just looking good. Looking good is mostly genetic. Being talented at music is partly genetic, but mostly a combination of hard work and idiosyncratic talent.

Jaafar wasn't that bad desu. I mean for a guy who was only handed a character sketch of "shy Gary Stu manchild" to work with I guess.

Also, how the fuck has no one brought up Liza Minelli around here yet?
>>
>>130148091
Will Smith's kids are better at music than he is, but that's a very low bar.
