This is an age old question: Can the sons and daughters of notable rockstars be half as good as their famous rockstar parents? We will start by checking out the most famous kid to rockstar parents. (Not the Lindbergh baby)

Julian Lennon

Julian is the by product of the greatest musician to ever die by the hands of an obsessed fan, John Lennon and the craziest, band-tearing groupie Yoko Ono. He has the potential to be the second greatest musician to ever enter the music business. This is due to the fact that John Lennon redefined the music business and influenced so many after him. You would think that just a small bit of talent might rub off on Julian. Well, it kind of does, but when your father was as big as Jesus, you tend to get overshadowed. Though I have only found that hardcore Beatles nuts enjoy Julian's work. It might be for the hope that one day he will create a song similar to Imagine.

Here is a sampling of his songs.


Alexa Ray Joel

Alexa Ray is the combined effort of 80's supermodel Christie Brinkley and perennial tree-hitting, house-ramming drunkard Billy Joel. Her music sounds like Regina Spektor combined with Joss Stone, both of which are more talented than Alexa. Her music doesn't strike a cord with me. I much prefer Joss Stone. Just like I prefer Elton John than her father.

Here is a sampling of her songs.

Elijah Blue Allman

Elijah or Phillips Exeter Blue I, as he stage name says, is the love child of a 10 day romance between Cher and Gregg Allman. The guy is known more for his relationships than his music. He has dated Kate Hudson, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Bijou Phillips, Aimee Osbourne, and Heather Graham. His music is just god awful. It is some of the most irritating, ball churning, sphincter clenching, nu-metal I have ever heard. Combine that with their lethargic, dead fish, stage show, and you have one of the worst musicians I have ever laid my eyes on...Paris Hilton being number one.

Here is a sampling of his shit.

Paul Inder

While you might have no idea who this is you would if I used his father's stage name. How about Paul Kilmeister? Yes, this is the son of Lemmy Kilmeister of Motorhead. He looks like a wavy, long haired version of Kid Rock, but his music is pretty damn good...or the one song he has actually created. His father growls parts of the vocals and has taken an active approach to helping his son. Lemmy co-wrote the song with him. As opposed to the aforementioned children, they try to write, compose, and play music on their own without the help of their notably more talented parents. Perhaps that is their first mistake. Either way this is a success in the making.

Here is the one song he has.
