Unless they wish to somehow "reform" the Beatles and release records under that moniker, the comparisons to their fathers are anecdotes and should have no real weight on whether or not this would be a "good idea" or "bad idea". It all depends on the end result.

How would they be a supergroup? Am I missing something here? Before today I'd never heard of a single of their releases, and no one on this forum ever talks about them either positively or negatively. Considering we talk about everything here, I'd say that is pretty telling that none of them should be considered anything monumentally groundbreaking. I refute the idea that they'd become part of any "musical dynasty", because the idea that they're relation to the Beatles in any way, shape, or form is anything but genetic. Were they influenced by their fathers? Sure, who ****ing wasn't? Just because they are the offspring of the Beatles DOES NOT MEAN they are a musical descendant of them. How could you seriously believe this? They're legacies are mutually exclusive of anything either band produces.

That's why I said it's anecdotal. In literary terms one might consider them to be continuing their father's legacy in a purely symbolic way. It has no basis in practical terms, so you're right in saying that their relation to their fathers is purely genetic– of course it is! I'm saying that the comparisons to their fathers should remain in the realm of observation and not have any bearing on what the group actually does, so it's not like we aren't pretty much on the same page.

Also, each one of them is fairly active musically. I probably misused the word supergroup as their all mostly in their own respective bands rather than pursuing solo careers.
