In the '80's there was a so called "super group" called "The Travelling
Wilburies" which consisted of Roy Orbson, Bod Dylan, Tom Petty, George
Harrison and Jeff Lynne
In the '80's there existed a "supergroup" called "The Travelling
Wilburies". It consited of Roy Orbson, Bod Dylan, Tom Petty and George
Harrison. This is an almost perfect "ulimate band line up". Mine would be
Rob Orbson on vocal (truely, nobody else come close), David Foster on
keyboards (anybody heard of him) Bruce Springsteen on guitar (or course!)
and Jim Steinman writing the songs with Phil Spector producing!

The Wilbury's put out some great stuff. I hope they keep doing it.

I hope so too, but its been a long time. Each living member has
got wrapped up in their own solo projects, so I'm doubtful.

Let me go home and work on this--Van Morrison and Leonardy Cohena have to share songwriting for me, but there are so many vocalists I adore, as well as a few smashing guitarists (SRV probably)(but would he mesh with VM and LC?), but I know almost no drummers, bassists, keyboardists, and definitely have no pref for producer! Great topic, tho (if only your readers grasped the concept...).

ooo, speaking of not grasping the concept: none of your guys are dead. ?

And SRV is. Do I need to pick again from the land of the living?

Roy Orbison joined the choir invisible, didn't he? Anyhooo--I had plenty of time to mull this over last night as I was the victim of that most lethal combination of a noisy neighbor and rampant insomnia (actually it was my usually quiet downstairs neighbor's unusually noisy new beau who chose 2AM as the time to don hobnail boots and singelhandedly stamp out birth defects by effecting his own little March of Dimes around her apt for hours on end....); unfortunately, even a lot of time to think won't help
f you don't know anything to begin with! So if I have to pick a living guitarist I'll go with Robert Fripp. The only bassist I know is Pete Entwhistle but he's ok so let's put him in. The only keyboardist I know (other than Shirley Jones and Susan Dey) is Ray Manzerek, and he's not so bad. Vocalists are a tougher choice--I like so many different voices for different reasons. We'll go with Tracey Thorne. The producer will have to remain a big question mark, but he or she had better be pretty damned f
ne to be able to pull together some coherent sound from such disparate influences!

The idea of Bruce (quite possibly my favorite musical artist- well, tied with Van Morrison, to whom he, and many, many others owe homage) jamming with Orbison, and being produced by Spector is very compelling. Of course, Roy has indeed expired, and Phil Spector, so far as I know, still thinks he's being followed by Richard Nixon, or something. And really, Bruce took the ideas expounded by both of them (with the Born to Run LP), and pushed them to heights I don't believe either ever imagined (no offense
o the dead, or the paranoid, intended). My conception of ultimate group was fulfilled by the Beatles- I think they simply dwelt on a different plateau from other mortals. In the absence of John, plug in Eric Clapton, and/or Pete Townshend, Stevie Winwood, or maybe Elvis Costello, and let 'em rip. And let Brian Wilson produce...
Van Morrison, I think, dwells on his own plateau, as well- a place beyond rock and roll, and beyond even the blues. Dave Marsh wrote that Van had achieved his own "personal equivalent" of the blues, which is accurate, I think, but understates his achievement. Astral Weeks, I think, contains quite possibly the most sublime sounds I've ever heard...

I'll have to agree with you on Astral Weeks, one of the finest albums ever
and one that I spent many hours listening to over the years.

im only sixteen, but im thinking i must have a ggod apreciation for music, cos us guys picked a lot of my favourite artists
i have to say, its sad that stevie ray vaughn is gone, because he is classed as one of the best guitarists i have heard, and roy orbision would have been in my band if he was alive.
im my oppinion, tom petty rocks, and the travelling wilburies were a great band, full of legends.
van morrision IS beyond rock and blues, cos he's a legend, but he is in my band,
as well as the great eric clapton. both of their voices are moving, and both have great musical talent, as well as song writing talent. i loved paul mccartney in wings, mark knophler from dire straits rules, and bruce is always great. for song writers, i like neil finn from crowded house, and also don mclean. their words are really very insightful into the human existance, and life in general.
i love alot of rock music, not only cos it sounds great, but cos the sound of a guitar, electric or accoustic, just gets u all revved up.
and i like the hard core metallica, and especially the harmonics in their song, nothing else matters.

You're really tuned in to the music scene here at Spring, mandy. With the exception of Metallica I'm right with you on your musical choices. But I'll take a listen to "Nothing Else Matters". Crosby, Stills and Nash are playing in Austin this Tuesday, what do you think of them?

Hi all
Genesis is the only group I have really paid a lot of notice to, but the Beatles are good enough. I love Yellow Submarine, Eleanor Rigby, and Girl. As for Genesis, "Jesus he knows me" has one of the catchiest starts you will ever hear - its BRILLIANT. "Mama" has tension and atmosphere, and finally I can't dance has a neat midsection.
Rob

Let's see, mix and match band members to make the ultimate band...
Duelling lead guitars: Peter Frampton & Brian May
Rhythm guitar: Keith Richard
Bass: Robert Shakespeare
Drums: Lionel Dunbar OR Roger Taylor (if allowed to include dead people then clear both of those out and put in JOHN BONHAM!!!)
Singers: Rev. Al Green, Robin Gibb... I'm tempted to say Sade, but I doubt she'd fit in to a band like that... Frampton since he'd be there, May & Taylor too...
