Here Comes the Sons (and Daughters): The Beatles Children
Musicoholics ^ | 7/17/20 | Alva Yaffe

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.

Really? Some Girls?

Stickey Fingers and Let It Bleed fared better on the radio.

Stones? I always thought Freddy and The Dreamers were the definitive rock band of the 1960’s. S/

I don’t have much time to argue either. I have to go buy some camping supplies.

Not a bad song on it. One of the most underrated albums in rock history.

Exile On Main Street didn’t have a lot of radio hits but probably has the most good songs of any other Rolling Stones album.

I just hurt Sgt Peppers feelings.

Gayest album ever. British backstreet boys.

....and the common thread of those albums is Mick Taylor. When the Stones were at their peak.

I’d go with Tragic Canoe Accident...that would seriously be a great name for a band. ;)

I enjoyed a lot of The Beatles songs...didn’t own a single album of theirs. Did buy a few Rolling Stones albums. :)

I’m not sure what you are talking about. Maybe a different band called the “beetles” instead of the subject, “Beatles”.

I grew up in that era. I can assure you the “Beatles” were being played on American radio before they came over for the Ed Sullivan show. As with any pop culture phenomenon, yes there was hype, but the excitement about them coming to America was real.

Talentless hacks? Wow. I have had issues with their lifestyles, etc., but those guys affected many types of music in many ways. They started out with 3 chord songs and graduated to fully orchestral. Just because I don’t happen to like anything about the Rolling Stones, I still would not call them “talentless hacks”.

Sean Lennon will turn 45 this year..his dad only made it to 40. Videos of him being interviewed show him talking in his native Noo Yawk accent—not quite Liverpudlian.
Friend of mine was in Pittsburgh and saw ELO and Dhani Harrison concert.He bumped into Dhani again the next day at a Strip District breakfast place and got a pic with him, put it on Facebook. I joked,
Here Comes the Son.

Listening to audiobooks about George Martin and the Beatles.At one point they wanted to record an album in Memphis
with the likes of Steve Cropper.Fell apart for various reasons.

Julian resented his dad saying “he crawled
out of a whiskey bottle”— John and Cyn were young and now had to be parents, though John was too busy recording or traveling.
They did have a bit of some father-son moments toward the end though.Just some.

Although MTV didn't start until 1981, rock videos were being made all through the 1970s. Here is a creative one that the Stones did during the "Exile" period. Really captures the gritty underbelly of early 1970s LA (and some NYC as well).
