The Best of the Best

Today, Ben brings the blog of the day. Some of you sports fans may think I am talking about Jahvid Best, the new Lions star after two weeks. However, this is not the case. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Freddie Mercury, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger and John Bonham were all in the same band? I have multiple times, how awesome would that be?

A couple of days ago I discovered a super group that was kind of similar to this, not quite as good as the group above me may have been, but it's still pretty amazing. The name of the group is the Traveling Wilbury's. Maybe some of you who are above the age of 30 who actually read our blog have heard of this group. They are pretty awesome. The group consists of George Harrison, who formed the group, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, and Jeff Lynne.

The group was formed in the late 80's, so many of the group members were a little past their prime, but they still sound great in many songs. Their First album, titled Volume 1, was released in 1988, and was actually quite a success, it reached number 3 in US charts, and number 1 in British and Australia charts. Before the Second Album was released, Roy Orbison actually passed away, making the group only four members, the second album was much less of a success, but still hit the charts pretty well.

If you have time, check them out, they are pretty good, here is a link to one of their more popular songs.
