musical nepotism... or is it?

[Arienette]

it seems like in most cases, the musician children of famous musicians are far less talented than their parents... and that, often, the child's success is due in large part to their parent's before them. check out these incestuous musical matchups
as evidence...

jakob dylan vs bob dylan... winner: bob
adam cohen vs leonard cohen... winner: leonard
sean lennon vs john lennon... winner: john
jullian lennon vs john lennon... winner (and still champion): john
arlo guthrie vs woody guthrie... winner: woody
natalie cole vs nat king cole... winner: nat
nelson vs. ricky nelson... winner: ricky

however, there are a few cases in which the child surpasses their parent's talent and ability. in this corner...

jeff buckley vs tim buckley.... winner: jeff
rufus wainwright vs loudon wainwright... winner: rufus

i'm sure there are a million of these, i'm just curious how often the parent wins
