Happy Father\u2019s Day! Hopefully you\u2019ve got a really cool present (like a <\/span>Roadie 2<\/span><\/a>) from your kids, and are ready to celebrate the day in style. And by style I mean the inappropriately decorated BBQ apron you were given last year as well, and will be wearing all day as you\u2019re put to work by the grill. When you get a break from flipping burgers, have a look at these father and son(s) combos in the music scene.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bob and Jakob Dylan<\/b><\/h2>\n

Bob Dylan<\/a> is about to release album number 37. Let that one sink in. That\u2019s almost one album every other year he\u2019s been alive. His achievements are too long to list here, so his son Jakob has had enough to live up to. Fronting The Wallflowers, he has gone in a different direction than his father \u2014 let\u2019s see if he also manages to sell over 125 million records!<\/span><\/p>\n

Leonard and Adam Cohen<\/b><\/h2>\n

Leonard Cohe<\/span>n<\/a> was another of the musical greats who just kept on putting out new records like there\u2019s no tomorrow. Perhaps at 81 he wanted to prove to his son Adam that he will not be outdone. Adam himself has released music, with his album We Go Home being his biggest success story so far. Even more impressive, he has released music in both English and French!<\/p>\n

Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus<\/b><\/h2>\n

Father Billy Ray<\/a> is, and always will be famous for his \u201cAchy Breaky Heart\u201d. So catchy is that song that we\u2019re willing to forgive and forget the <\/span>atrocious remix<\/span><\/a> he featured on a few years ago. Daughter Miley is\u2026 great, when she\u2019s not twerking or sticking her tongue out. If you\u2019re not into her own music, check out her beautiful rendition of Jolene <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tim and Jeff Buckley<\/b><\/h2>\n

A perhaps less rosy story is that of the two Mr. Buckleys. Jeff Buckley<\/a> only got to see his father once, when he was eight, and was not in touch with him since. This was due to a negative relationship between his parents, and the fact that Tim Buckley overdosed on drugs and died at 28. Jeff also died at the young age of 30, but both Buckleys managed to release some beautiful music before they left us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paul and James McCartney<\/b><\/h2>\n

Sir Paul McCartney<\/a> needs no introduction, as he has continued to produce great music long after The Beatles became a thing of the past. Although also nearing retirement age, Paul has managed to stay hip by collaborating with<\/span> Kanye West and Rihanna<\/span><\/a>. His son James has appeared on several of his productions, and is now<\/span> releasing his own project<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

John and Jason Bonham<\/b><\/h2>\n

Another virtuoso who left us early was John \u2018The Beast\u2019 Bonham, who formed the rhythmic backbone of Led Zeppelin. His son Jason took the reigns after his death, and has hinted at a<\/span> possible reunion<\/span><\/a> sometime in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Max and Jay Weinberg<\/b><\/h2>\n

Max Weinberg has been Bruce Springsteen\u2019s drummer for over four decades, and has passed his affinity for beats on to his son Jay. When Jay was just ten years old, Max<\/span> introduced him to Slipknot<\/span><\/a>. Other ten-year-olds might have had relentless nightmares after being introduced to grown men wearing death masks, but not Jay. Jay went on to play drums for them. <\/span><\/p>\n

Billie Joe, Joey, and Jakob Armstrong<\/b><\/h2>\n

Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day has definitely earned his stripes as a musician, and was a few years ago inducted into the Rock N\u2019 Roll Hall of Fame. His son Joey is the drummer for SWMRS \u2014 which I\u2019m assuming is pronounced \u2018Swarms\u2019 (revealing my age here). Billie Joe\u2019s other son Jakob just<\/span> released a music project<\/span><\/a> which combines the sounds of The Strokes and Surfer Blood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bob, Ziggy, Stephen, and Damian Marley<\/b><\/h2>\n

Bob Marley was not only a prolific musician, but also a prolific (?) father. Eleven kids he managed to put in the world, and quite a few of them followed in his footsteps. Musically, at least. Ziggy has netted himself no less than seven Grammys for his six albums, Stephen has six Grammys and four albums under his belt, and Damian (being the youngest) won four Grammys and released four albums.<\/span><\/p>\n

Olu Dara and Nas<\/b><\/h2>\n

Nas grew up with a jazz musician as a father, but did not follow in his footsteps \u2014 not exactly. Nas has released a string of successful albums, of which his debut Illmatic is so iconic that orchestral renditions have now been put together. The odd thing about this pair is that is was the son who convinced his father to release his music \u2014 not the other way around.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
