The Traveling Wilburys, the legendary supergroup featuring Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty, created some of rock's most beloved collaborative music during their brief but brilliant existence from 1988 to 1990. Their two albums showcased a magical chemistry between five distinct musical voices, producing timeless hits like Handle With Care and End of the Line. Though the band's story was cut short by Roy Orbison's passing, their influence on popular music remains profound.
