New Travelling Wilburys line up - who would you pick?


Ok, it’s never going to happen, but if Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan did decide to recruit some new Wilburys, who would you go for?

My picks: -
Joe Walsh
Bryan Adams
Paul McCartney

[EDIT] The reason I picked these three, is that they’ve all been produced by Jeff Lynne, so there would be a connection.

Jon Moss over Boy George? Interesting choice!

Actually same for Taylor and Wilder too. Not a fan of the front man?

Needed a drummer and a keyboard player and I just wanted one represented from each band, too bad George Michael isn’t with us, he'd definitely of been my first choice for lead vocals.

Ah ok, I see where you are going with this now!

Yeah, GM had a pretty flawless voice back in his day. He usually sounded better live than he did recorded which is so rare.
