Who's Your Favourite Traveling Wilbury?

[pharro]

Please tell me it's Jeff Lynne.

 

[Mr Reliable]

Sorry, it's George for me.

 

[krisholio14]

Tobermory

 

[Lidge]

Please tell me it's Jeff Lynne.

Your love for his work on the Xanadu soundtrack is clouding your judgement.

 

[Wild Kangaroo]

Please tell me it's Jeff Lynne.

George and the Big O, just ahead of Jeff Lynne.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

What a difficult question... overall, my least favourite is George and I feel terrible about saying that...

In order: Jeff, Bob, Tom, Roy, George.

 

[Zondor]

The answer from Zondor is that all Traveling Wibury's are for the tip.

 

[The Other Dean]

Your love for his work on the Xanadu soundtrack is clouding your judgement.

Yep.

I've also heard him talk very favourably about Jeff's contribution on the soundtrack to the cinematic tour-de-force that is Electric Dreams.

Has to be Lynne because, after all, we are only human.

 

[35eye]

Please tell me it's Jeff Lynne.

Dude, you have got to let this ELO thing go!

Its totally Tom Petty.

 

[KingyOrTheKing]

Yep. Jeff Lynne (not just because of the hair) followed closely by George, with Roy not far behind. Can't stand Petty or Dylan. Probably because of their voices which just aren't up to it.

 

[Urmoe]

Like Filthy I'll have great displeasure in rating Georgie last. My order is:

Tom
Bob
Jeff
Roy
George

 

[pharro]

Yep.

Ummmm... are you not confusing synth maestros? Giorgio Moroder?

 

[Mr Reliable]

Ummmm... are you not confusing synth maestros? Giorgio Moroder?

Or Gary Wright, the Dream Weaver. He once put out an album where every instrument sound was produced on a keyboard. No guitars, no drums, just keyboards imitating the sounds.

Boring!!!!

[fortunately there was no 'voice' track.]

 

[Kangalicious]

My favourite is the dead one.

(that might be aspirational)

 

[35eye]

Damn, don't start him on The Human League

 

[pharro]

Damn, don't start him on The Human League

Hey, Phil Oakey is a genius. FACT.

 

[pharro]

My favourite is the dead one.

(that might be aspirational)

Well that's sitting on the fence... both Roy Orbison and George Harrison are pushing up daisies. And I have suspicions that Dylan has been in cryogenic freeze for some time.

 

[The Other Dean]

Ummmm... are you not confusing synth maestros? Giorgio Moroder?

Errr....no. And for a man who plays the Electric Dreams soundtrack on a daily basis, this feigned ignorance just isn't cutting it.

It wasn't all about Moroder and Oakey. Another one of your faves - Culture Club - chimed in with a couple of tracks, too.

But then, you knew that.

Kudos to you. And I am reminded that Oakey's old buddies from Heaven 17 also make an appearance. What a gathering.

Stop press... as a type, Foxtel is playing that other Moroder masterpiece - American Gigolo.

 

[Lidge]

Meh.

Of greater interest, I propose that Filthy or Urmoe run a book on who will be the last living Wilbury.

Smackdown and last man standing.

I'd back Petty in a cage fight situation.

Never seen Jeff Lynne in the daylight or without his sunglasses. I'm sure he's the Undead.

Im not allowed to gamble any more.......but if I were still a betting man Id have $1000 on Petty

That's weak, Come on man, Put some money on it.

I got none left....spent it all on memberships
