Events that shaped Album Rock during that year

Yet Another New Supergroup: The Traveling Wilburys The 1980's big trend in rock continued in 1988, as another supergroup, the Traveling Wilburys, formed. The five main members consisted of ELO's Jeff Lynne, former Beatle George Harrison, rock/country legend Roy Orbison, along with Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. With their first album The Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1, released late in the year, the tracks Last Night, Handle With Care, and End Of The Line proved most popular with rock radio audiences. |

Happy Return, Sad Ending The comeback story of 1988, turned into the saddest story as the legendary Roy Orbison made a successful return to stardom after nearly a quarter century, then passed away late in the year. Orbison made his mark as a rock/country fusion singer in the first half of the 1960's, with the 1964 number one hit Pretty Woman as his best · known song. His return in 1988 came with great enthusiasm from fans, as he not only produced a solo album, Mystery Girl, but also teamed up with 4 other rock legends in the supergroup The Traveling Wilburys (mentioned above). From his solo album, You Got It proved most popular on rock radio. Apparently, returning to the spotlight at age 52 after several years away, along the stresses that come with it, proved too much for Orbison as succumbed to cardiac arrest on December 6th, ironically, two days shy of the anniversary of John Lennon's murder. The news saddened the rock world, especially his most loyal fans. |
