Fantasy Female Travelling Wilburys.

I gave this much thought last time and couldn't decide because I think you'd need a balance. However if I just dive in and think of it as a "supergroup" then Bobby Gentry, Julia Driscoll, Alison Moyet,  PP Arnold, Thelma Houston. But I think that might be too much diva. 

Edit: I need to reconsider. You can't have a group of all lead singers! 

I wish I had grown up in the Seventies.

I would pick

Kate Pierson of the B52s

Just seen this, it’s a massive lineup.

I did think about Joan Jett,  she was on the Radio recently, I couldn’t remember the name of her band, I asked my wife to look at the DAB radio, she was busy and snapped back, “ I think it’s the blackheads,!

Great thread!

I think mine would be:

• Stevie Nicks singing
• Suzi Quattro on bass
• Joan Jett on guitar
• Meg White on the drums
• Kate Bush on keyboard

I could probably do an all-heavy-metal one as well to be honest!

Did think about Yoko Ono, personally, Room 101.

Saw ‘Beaches’ recently, Bette Midler, wow,. Another candidate for the group.

I do think the reason why I liked 'I Want To Be Free' was precisely due to the lyrics, "I don't want to go to school".

Thank you for mentioning Hazel O'Connor. She's another blast from my past.

‘I Want To Be Free’ is an autistic shoutout, it was basically nobody understands, need to be heard. I don’t want to go to school, don’t want to be a fool, I want to be free. Another person I really liked was Hazel O’Connor, Breaking Glass. 

My dad was a fan of Suzi's stuff, and also Toyah's. I grew up listening to a lot of the music he liked, and I guess it rubbed off on me. 

The only songs of Suzi's that are lodged in my memory are 'Devil Gate Drive' and 'Can the Can'. As for Toyah, 'I Want To Be Free' has always been a favourite, along with 'It's A Mystery'.

Very good, I did think about Suzi, I love, ‘ If you can’t give me love’. First saw her doing a cameo on ‘Happy Days” The Fonz!

I have seen Texas as a warm up band, they stole the night, and rightly so.

Loved Toyah in Quadrophenia,  Monkey.

I think my fantasy female Travelling Wilbury's group would consist of (in no particular order):

1. Kate Bush

2. Annie Lennox

3. Toyah Wilcox

4. Suzi Quattro

5. Heather Small (M People)

Backing singers (if allowed):

1. Sharleen Spiteri (Texas)

2. Cerys Matthews (Catatonia)

Annie is brilliant, have a look at YouTube, Annie does a duet at home with her daughter Lola. There must be an Angel. Lola is good, mum still has a vocal range that makes my ears bleed!

Mine would be:

1. Stevie Nicks 
2. Kate Bush
3. Amy Winehouse
4. Annie Lennox
5. Shania Twain

Stevie is royalty, I did get to see ELO live,  Roy Wood was a member and went on to form Wizard, I’m sure his Christmas pension song will be played soon. ( much to my annoyance)

The Travelling Wilburys....I haven't listened to them for a while, must add them to my Spotify library.

I always liked Petty, Orbison and Lynne - not so much Harrison & Dylan. Big ELO fan, never seen the actual group, but The ELO Experience are excellent - seen them many, many times - highly recommended.

In terms of the fantasy female line up, I'd like to  nominate STEVIE NICKS.

Edit: Just seen that Goosey had already mentioned Stevie Nicks...Great minds think alike 

I do like the Dua song with Elton John, I recently watched the original, ”A Star is Born” with Judy Garland, the remake was Barbra Streisand and then Gaga, where do you start, and how far back? 
I’ve always found music a hiding and learning place. There are only 7 notes plus flats and sharps also chords with minor, major and sevenths. Just a few. How different songs are still being made is mind blowing.

Great shout ^^ 

I love Kate Bush she would be great in my group!

I might have to replace Dua lipa

Sorry Dua XD

Yes, I could see all of those harmonising, I would add Aretha Franklin for a powerful track.

What about Kate Bush?
