has anyone else bought the travelling wilburys and regretted it?

Question

i found it so disappointing, when you look at the line up how could it go so wrong.

Answer 1

You were expecting it to be above and beyond each member's solo works. And that's not what the Wilburys were about. It was just 5 guys playing songs inspired by their childhood musical heroes. Just five pickers picking! They didn't do it for money or commercial success. They just did it for FUN! That's why they made up character names and backstories. No way is it on the same scale as their solo stuff, but they had all the money and success a solo career provided and just wanted to do some songs for no other reason than they just wanted to. ;) Even rich guys like to play...lol
