What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

bdp24, thanks for the twilley post--i'm a massive fan of sincerely and twilley don't mind. his  third record, "twilley," which is almost impossible to find except on vinyl, was also pretty great, with a couple of his best tunes. his later stuff was honorable but i never got into it.

@loomisjohnson: I guess I just kind of relegated Twilley to the past, for years not going out of my way to see what he was up to. Starting out with such a killer album (Sincerely) sure established a high standard for him to live up to. It would be like The Beatles debuting with Sgt. Pepper!

He had a lot of bad luck, record company indifference, and perhaps a sound that just wasn’t to the public’s taste. I can’t get over how Petty came along behind Twilley, and zoomed on by him. For whatever reason (or reasons), Petty ended up having a major career, Twilley a minor one. I far prefer Twilley to Petty (a much better songwriter and singer, imo), but there’s no arguing with success.

On the other hand, Twilley's still alive. ;-)
