I mean, sure, we can all say we’re “children of the Beatles.” After all, almost all of us grew up listening to their music, and at least some of us feel as though we were influenced by the Fab Four. But how many of us can say that we’re their actual children? None of us. There are, however, 16 individuals who can say that they are literally the children of The Beatles.
Most are their biological children, but a few were adopted or are their step-children. In the list below, you can not only see the unmistakable similarity between the sons and daughters and their fathers, but you can see that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. A lot of these Beatles descendent – some still young, some mature adults – are pretty talented music artists themselves.

Ed Wallace of “Wheels” on KLIF in DFW likes to bring up how thousands of teenage girls shrieked and carried on about the beetles before they even appeared on Ed Sullivan’s show. The were not on radio at the time.
Hyped up boy band.
Talentless hacks.
Interesting.
I loved the Beatles when I was a teenager.
Yet their appearance changed the course of rock music.
I was a little girl when the Beatles first appeared.
Uh, the youngest Beatle kids are in their mid-40s.
They’re closer to retirement then being trendsetting musicians.
The Beatles are ancient history now. That was 55 years ago, over half a century.
Think about that.
What is the name of your band and where can I hear you play?
All those kids ended up living productive lives, which is a credit to their parents, some of whom are/were as nutty as can be.
Lennon and McCartney not so much.
Starr and Harrison were gifted.
Lennon was a sociopath and a frustrated homo.
And yes I do receive ‘mailbox money’.
However, I prefer their pre-1967 output to their post Sgt Pepper output. When they stopped touring, I think some of their creative fire went out.
No they didn’t change music. Just a step up from the Monkees.
No, But try this on for size.... Lennon/McCartney are among the, if not THE, greatest composers and song writers of the second half of the last century. Think about it. It's been 50 years since they broke up and their music is still in demand. They even have a significant following amount Generation Z.
Yeah. They were the Milli Vanilli of their day...what’d they have? Like one hit song?
No, The Stones ruled.
Yes, they broke up before I was born.
Ageing whites don’t like to hear it, but many of the things that were important to them mean nothing to most people in the West today. These riots show one aspect of that, but more importantly, general ignorance of ANYTHING 55 years ago is commonplace.
A young relative I had considered “smart” spouted that blacks were only allowed to vote in 1960; like many young people, he knows little about anything that existed before him.
Except for Some Girls, no Stones album has more than 3 or 4 good songs.
They had a few session men pretty much write what they hummed/sang.
The stones ruled? Thats why Bill wyman couldn’t make a living on tour and was still woog working/ carpentry the late 60’s?
” Arguably the most talented band in rock history. “
I would ARGUE that they were not , but haven’t got the time to waste .
You should have a band and call it the troll.
