3. Bob Dylan & Tom Petty

A penny for your thoughts, Bob? Here's a candid image of one of the greatest and most respected singer-songwriters of all time, in a pensive mood. The guy sitting next to him isn't too bad either, that's Tom Petty! The two legendary country and folk performers are getting ready to perform at the first ever 'Farm Aid' in Illinois, back in 1985. The festival, which is based around raising money for farmers in the USA, continues to run to this day. It was founded by some more country legends - WIllie Nelson and Neil Young - and they brought in some friends to help get things off the ground. It helps when you have friends like these!

Already world renowned in their own right, Dylan and Petty joined forces in 1988 to form the Travelling Wilburys, a supergroup that also contained George Harrison, Roy Orbison, and Jeff Lynne. And who knows - the conversation that started the whole thing off might have taken place right here, at the exact moment this picture was taken!
