In 1988, five of the greatest musical minds of the century came
together to create a super group like no other: The Traveling
Wilburys. Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, and
George Harrison formed this legendary band that fused their
unique styles into one harmonious sound. From Dylan’s folk-
rock roots, Lynne’s pop sensibilities, Petty’s Americana flair,
Orbison’s rockabilly vibes, and Harrison’s Beatles influence,
the group created a timeless blend of music that generations
have enjoyed. They released two albums in 1988 and 1990,
respectively.
Although the members have since gone their separate ways,
the Traveling Wilburys will always be remembered as an
incredible collaboration between some of the most influential
musicians ever.
A follow-up release from their debut album, The Doors became
groups first bona fide smash. “Light My Fire,” which earned the
top spot in the Billboard Hot 100 on July 29, 1967, transformed
The Doors from cult favorites of the rock cognoscenti into
international pop stars and avatars of the ’60s counterculture.
