The list compared some of rock’s most famous supergroups—bands formed by musicians who were already successful on their own. But when the final spot was revealed, it was The Traveling Wilburys who took the No. 1 position.
What started as a simple B-side recording session for Harrison’s single “This Is Love” quickly turned into something bigger. When the group recorded “Handle With Care,” the chemistry was so strong that they decided to make a full album together.
That relaxed energy translated into their debut album, Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1, released in 1988. The record became a major hit, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and earning triple-platinum status in the United States. It later won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group.
He added that hearing Orbison sing harmony with Petty during “Handle With Care” was a thrill. That moment, he suggested, captured the band’s magic from the very start.
Sadly, Orbison died just months after the album’s release in December 1988. The remaining members regrouped for Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3 in 1990, intentionally skipping “Vol. 2” as a playful joke—but they later admitted it wasn’t the same without him.
