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.

Intro to Tumbling Dice hooks me every time. Sweet Virginia great music top 10 album by any artist IMO.
Stones=flaccid sell outs.
Hyped? Of course. Who isn’t?
Style came in the right time. Bunch of social misfits who had good songwriting and instrumental talents and unique voices and harmonization. Compare them to bands of the time.
Many were one or two hit wonders...except a few...folk artists like kingston trio...peter paul and mary..etc..beach boys...4 seasons...beatles were from foreign shore and were young , energetic, and “cute”, most of their albums had all good songs. They had many many strengths. So they hit it big. Give them their due, props, and kudos. Stones were very , very good also, but had a different style. Credits go to them also. I enjoy both bands.
Bullshit
Yeah from a dead relative
That statement right there betrayed your ignorance
Lol

That’s true
Unless their folks taught them
I’m a boomer 62
Xers even are as a rule more pc than we on race and women
I was just listening to Macca’s first solo record the other day.
Realize, he played every instrument on that album. He is a better guitarist than George, and no slouch on drums, neither.
Yeah, I remember the Beatles, that was that band Paul McCartney was in before he started Wings.
Did you know Charlie was offered to be a “Beetle”? He was recording with Dylan and George Harrison happened to be in the studio for a jam session. IIRC, George asked CD if he wanted to be a Beetle? It was likely a joke, but fun story to remember Charlie, George, Bob.
I say this with hubris
The music I grew up with like Stones and Beatles and so forth given I’m sixty two....not sixty four...lol
Is much like all the beautiful women I’ve known’....a chronology of my life
It frames my life kind of like my kids do now ....I’ve still got three at home as a total single dad
I know a lot about the music and the bands I like from early rock and roll like Ike Turner first recordings to newer like Greta Van Fleet or Dorothy
I know a whole lot because it interests me
No offense but I read comments here and it’s dilettante and pop commercial superficial knowledge 95% of the time
But that’s who makes so called hits’....folks who buy generic popular fluff like The Bee Gees disco or Beyoncé today
Or country pap
Mid teen girls .....you get that and you have a commercial hit
and that is most freepers ...and that’s ok
But arguing Goats Head Soup as a valid offering then is a fools errand of arguing with the ignorant
My favorite Gen X offering here has always been
“Journey is better than Led Zepplin”
No one statement exemplifies the issue here with rock or rock and roll music knowledge better
Yes GHS is a valid work....if only for Star Star and Winter
And back then they didn't put many of their hit singles on the albums.
Watch this...no sarcasm. It’s an analysis by an expert musicologist and composer. It’s a very good, professional documentary and analysis.
Also, not sure if it’s on You Tube, but I saw last year Deconstructing The Beatles by a Beatlesologist...that film focused on their breakout year. Their breakout year was breathtaking in what they did and accomplished.
There will never be another band as great as The Beatles, IMO.
Yes, I remember the day he passed, on NBC Evening news,when the news reported that he also recorded with Bob Dylan.
For me, I really interested in the country and western when it it “rogue” from the time of Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw onwards.
Hope "rogue" doesn't mean "woke"--as in the Dixie Chicks.
I have my own C&W rogue's gallery that includes Jackie Doll & His Pickled Peppers, Ray Anderson, Lulu Belle & Scotty and Rosalie Allen.
7th grade for me. Kennedy’s assassination and the arrival the Beatles happened all at the same time.
The Beatles were just the most prominent of the ‘English Invasion’ that began in 1963. There were a lot of good English bands besides the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
