"Wilburys" was a nickname George Harrison and co-writer Jeff Lynne used for gremlins (mysterious faults) that afflicted their studio recording equipment.

Members of The Traveling Wilburys were: Beatle George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, and Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra.

The five Wilburys were supposedly half-brothers, all sons (by different mothers) of Charles Truscott Wilbury. Roy Orbison said "Some people say Daddy was a cad and a bounder, but I remember him as a Baptist minister.".

All five members of this band -Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, George Harrison, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne- have all been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with Harrison being a two-time inductee. The band itself has not been inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, however.
