Seriously, ask yourself....
If this group wasn't made up of these musical icons, would you still think their musical output would justify their induction???
Excellent LP or not, if it wasn't for the pedigree of the members, this question would be a no-brainer

If The Traveling Wilburys are inducted before Electric Light Orchestra, Jeff Lynne would join this group, and it could possibly happen. He could be next.

ARTISTS INDUCTED INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME WITH THEIR SECOND BAND BEFORE BEING INDUCTED WITH THEIR FIRST BAND

01. Graham Nash (Crosby, Stills and Nash inducted in 1997; The Hollies inducted in 2010)
02. Sammy Strain (The O'Jays inducted in 2005; Little Anthony and the Imperials inducted in 2009)

Actually though, Electric Light Orchestra was Jeff Lynne's third band and the Traveling Wilburys was his fourth band, but The Idle Race and The Move have absolutely no chance of being inducted.

People saying they won't make it because of Supergroup status, then The Yardbirds, CSN, Led Zeppelin, Cream, should not be there already. The arguments over multiple inductions is also moot. Eric Clapton has been inducted multiple times. Also, being a Petty and Heartbreakers fan, don't like them being accused of being just another Petty solo effort. They only are named what they are, because of the record executives wanting more of a focus on Tom Petty.

No, the main argument against them is that their work is not hall worthy. The line-up is insignificant to the argument. Their work was enjoyable, but that is all.

Love both albums! Wonderful songwriting, harmonies, and musicianship!

Well, it's allllright...Wikipedia reminded me on the RRHOF's page that the Traveling Wilburys is now the only group that has all of its members in from different projects (mostly solo). This is of course with Jeff Lynne now getting in. However, the Wilburys as a group is not in, so the Beatles hold the record with all of their members in individually, in addition to the band being inducted.
