They say that the apple doesn't fall... oh, screw it! In my daily search of new music and talking with record label publicists, I've noticed that there are a lot of bands featuring the offspring of famous rock musicians. It can't be easy to carve your own niche in this business when your dad has already sold millions of albums, so it takes a a ton of courage for these musicians to go out there and try and "make it."

Today, Noisecreep has put together a list of 12 bands that feature children of famous rockers. OK, one of them isn't a Noisecreep-friendly type of artist, but once you see who his dad is, you'll know why we had to include him.

Also Hank Williams III! I would think he would deserve a mention as a 3rd generation musician.

It would be nice if those photos had captions so we'd know who those young rockers are.

So true! At least Cher has 1 REAL son who might make her a gramma some day.

This would have been a more rewarding and informative piece if you put the names of the bands and the name of the parent in the gallery of photos.
