Rocks Off's 10 Favorite Family Bands

Page 2 of 2

The Kinks: Brothers don't always get along, and sometimes they gouge each other's eyes and scrap like they are in a prison yard. Such was the case of Ray and Dave Davies of the Kinks, who made pretty music together but went through bouts of intense hatred for each other. Today, they seem to like each other just fine.

Oasis: Speaking of brothers who would sooner see each other dead than alive, we present Liam and Noel Gallagher, who wouldn't piss on one another if they were on fire.

The Everly Brothers: Don and Phil Everly are responsible for a great deal of the legendary harmonies that followed in their wake. The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel and countless others bit off the brothers more than you could ever imagine.

Hanson: Isaac, Taylor and Zac warmed the hearts of girls all over in 1997 with "MMMBop" while also throwing hipsters and elitists into a sugar coma with their hit singles. Today they make bluesy pop-rock and are all married and busy creating a new crop of Hanson bands.

The Stooges: The Asheton brothers, Scott and Ron, helped forge the sound of the Stooges with Iggy Pop in the late '60s, forever warping rock and roll. Sadly, Ron passed away last year, severing one of the best teams proto-punk ever spawned.

The Replacements: Bob Stinson was the lead guitarist of the Replacements and his kid brother Tommy Stinson was the band's bassist for the life of the band. When we say "kid" we mean it; he was all of 11 when he began tooling around with his older brother and Chris Mars, before they took on Paul Westerberg.
