3. Bob Dylan
Answer: Jakob
Drifting in from the Mid West to New York City, Bob Dylan was in the early part of his career a disciple of the great Woody Guthrie. Many of his early self-penned songs were Guthrie-like in subject matter and tone. But Dylan began to move on through the urban folk revival in Greenwich Village in the 1960s. Through songs too numerous to mention, he rose to the pinnacle of folk music, before apparently turning his back on the early protest and workers' songs.
He was branded a "Judas" for going electric in the mid 1960s.
Although folk music was his early forte, he moved easily into rock. Regarded after 50 years in the business as being one of music's greats, nevertheless much of his personality remained opaque; indeed it was not uncommon for critics to note that it was never possible to predict which kind of Dylan - open and approachable or guarded and reticent - would turn up in concert.
It was probably inevitable that Jakob Dylan would follow his father into music.
However, while Bob's early influences had been in folk music, Jakob's was in English rock,particularly punk rock. Between 1985 and 2005 he was lead singer, guitarist and songwriter with "The Wallflowers".
He followed a solo career from 2006.

Let us not forget the two other thespian sons of John Carradine, Robert and David.
5. Woody Guthrie
Answer: Arlo
Woody Guthrie earned a place in the history books as one of the most influential singers and songwriters of the first half of the 20th century. He was to inspire whole generations of fellow folk music adherents His catalogue of songs majored significantly on championing the causes of workers in the United States. He wrote and sang union songs and protest songs - though was not too reticent to turn his back on big business when commissioned to write songs for them.
Many people would have been cowed by the sheer genius of a father like Woody Guthrie, but Arlo Guthrie was not one of them. Indeed, he worked hard to keep his spirit alive. (Arlo oft-times chided his own musical children for not knowing the words of the songs he had written, noting: "I know all my dad's.")
Arlo grew up surrounded by music greats at the family home. He cemented his own musical career with his draft-dodging tale "Alice's Restaurant Massacree". He went on to play himself in the subsequent movie in 1969.
