From 1 (being the best) to 5 (being the worst), put in order of your preference each of the five original Traveling Wilburys.

Here is my list:

1. Roy Orbison
2. George Harrison
3. Tom Petty
4. Jeff Lynne
5. Bob Dylan

The artist with the lowest, closest to pointless combined score, will be the winner, which will be announced.... at some point. The one with the highest score will be the loser.

The Orb
Harrison
Bob
Petty
Lynne

Also I don't understand the scoring system.

I've tallied up the current combined scores....

Does that make it a bit clearer?

I suppose I could have done it the other way round - 5 = best, 1 = worst, but never mind.

1. Bob Dylan.
2. Roy Orbison.
3. Jeff Lynne.
4. George Harrison.
5. Tom Petty.

I was sure you'd have George Harrison and Jeff Lynne at numbers 1 and 2.

I think I've done this right.

George Harrison was too much of a misery guts.

1) Dylan
2) Lynne
3) Orbison
4) Harrison
5) Petty

I still don't understand Butterpops's Leibnitzian scoring system though.

The lower the combined score each act gets, the better that act has done.

Yeah, but 2 >1 is the traditional number system of the last several thousand years.

Basically, Butteryparsnips has done a number on everyone.

Including hisself.

Perhaps a bit more Heraclitian?

A case of wilful Obscurantism at the very least.

Thank goodness someone got it.

1. = 1 point

5. = 5 points

The lowest combined points is the winner and therefore most popular Traveling Wilbury on this forum. The one with the highest combined points is the "loser", and therefore least favourite Traveling Wilbury on this forum.

I didn't expect this to be quite so controversial.

Anyway, it seems I have some more incredibly difficult yet thrilling calculating to do.

I can't be bothered now.

You made this ridiculous bed that we all have to lay in.

A simple duvet-scoring system would've sufficed, but you had to go the whole sheets and covers and everything all tucked in neat and tidy and impossible to escape from-straight jacket arrangement.

We now have our *possible* final results, unless someone else comes in and messes it all up casts their votes.

Do we all now understand how this works?

Please can we never do this again.
