Love the Traveling Wilburys and I miss Roy. Funny thing about their music. I like all the individual artists but I much prefer earlier Tom Petty over the stuff he produced with Jeff Lynne. I love ELO but I don't like it when that sound creeps into Tom Petty.
I was a little fuzzy on when the different songs were released, so I went and looked - I didn't know that about Lynne and to be honest, didn't realize he was in the TW. I like to think I know a fair amt. about music, but there certainly are gaps in my knowledge. (true about most everything else, I guess)
I'm the other way around about Petty's songs, preferring the stuff on "Full Moon Fever" (1989) over "You're Gonna Get It!" (1978) & "Damn the Torpedoes" (1979). My life was at much different points during those times, too...if that has anything to do with it. "Refugee"...don't know why, but I really never cared that much for that tune as well as "Don't Do Me Like That".
I sometimes wonder if the circumstances around the first time we hear a song doesn't mostly influence how we think about it. I don't like hearing tunes off of Foreigner's "Double Vision" album b/c it reminds me of someone who loved that music and that I heard it the first time at their house. I don't like thinking about that person and the tunes remind me of him, so....
Sometimes, when I'm listening to the radio while driving, a song will come on that takes me back to the time when it was popular, bringing a flood of memories.
