is Twiddle a good band? I've never really taken a proper listen and not sure where to begin. Any valid recommendations? I like Spafford. Are they similar?

I think Twiddle is pretty bad. I don't know if all the hate is warranted but I know a lot of people who think they suck and some that like them. I've seen them live and i thought their set was awful.

I like to listen to a debut album of a band as that is their introduction and sets the mood and pace for follow ups, but I also love Live material and judge a band by how well they perform in front of an audience.
Best debut album?
Best Live album?

You all seem to mention Twiddle often so they must be great! Thanks Jambase

I have listened to Twiddle a few times just to make sure, but every time I end up with the same conclusion... it's just not for me. There is a lot of banter with the crowd between songs, then it takes the song a while to get going, then when it sounds like they're about to do something good the dude starts singing and it is TERRIBLE (imo). I think they get so much hate for the same reason as Phish.... because the people who love them love them sooo much, and the people who don't are like "WTF is this shit"
To each their own.

Fact of the matter is...if Twiddle really sucked, they wouldn't be discussed, they would be irrelevent like so many other bands out there trying to make it in the music business.

Also I would put myself in the 'waiting for them to STFU and jam' category.
I'm the same way with the Boscos, but I still like them.
Twiddle dees would be wise to follow their model and stick with 5 song sets.

Nickleback has the benefit of corporate sponsership and thousands upon thousands of hours of radio play imposed on the general public.
Twiddle is a word of mouth band.

right but just because people bash them doesn't make what they do good. I think they're bashed because of their grass roots following and due to the fact that they just aren't that great of musicians. I may not play an instrument or know much or anything about music theory but I can hear that they sound like an average highschool jamband. Mihali has a shitty voice, I don't think his compositions are anything special and his solos are often times cringe worthy, there is nothing I heard the band do that warrants them having any sort of following. I'm just saying, I don't think dislike for a band is always based off the band actually being good. Plenty of shitty music out there that kids like. Hell, Girl talk got famous for mashing songs together, something I was doing when I was 16 years old, maybe I wasn't doing it as well as him but it's something anyone can do, doesn't mean he's good at what he does...

Word of Mouth is a far better band name than Twiddle.
