Weed, Whites & Wine v. Reds, Vitamin C. & Cocaine: The Willin' v. Truckin' Poll

Willin’ because it’s the other song that mentions Tucson

Willin', because it's better.

I’m not much of a Deadhead, but I love really wordy songs and “Truckin’” is a good one imo. “Willin’” obviously excellent as well, and I’m surprising myself by choosing the Dead.

Agreed, Willin' is better. That chorus. Truckin' is good too but is somewhat tainted for me because it sort of evokes or encourages the dopiest side of the whole Deadhead thing.

Tho "I'd like to get some sleep before I travel/ But if you got a warrant, I guess you're gonna come in" is still funny.

yeah a little surprised I’m inclined to go with Truckin, partic w Bob being taking lead vocals

and as much as I adore both songs I don’t think either would make my top ten for either bands

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Da fuq?

Lowell > Jerry

this is tough but I gotta go with Truckin', sorry y'all

probably b/c it's funnier in the end, Willin' is great too ofc

Willin' - better for crying in yr beer after a breakup
Truckin' - better for a road trip song

Tucson
Tucumcari
Tahachapi
Tonapah

it's all on the same street

I mean there's versions of Truckin that are absolutely cosmic. and lyrically it's some of the best they ever got -- to turn all those road stories into a crisp relatable tune with breezy hippie sentiments in the breaks, very neat trick. terrific tune.

but Willin' is Willin'.

That was where I was landing - my head says Truckin' but my heart is Willin'.

I only just discovered Little Feat last year and Willin' became the crux of my brief obsession so that one, also the Grateful Dead are terrible, just accept it

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

lol ok ok

I voted Willin' (I think), but that's surprising.

too close

Wonder how many were voting for the 1st album version of "Willin'" versus the one on Sailin' Shoes.

let’s be honest- this was a “Willin’” vs. The Grateful Dead poll

There are Dead songs I'd take over "Willin'," tho not many. ("Uncle John's Band," "Ripple") There also aren't many (any?) Little Feat songs I'd take over it, so I think it's mostly that "Willin'" is just a top-tier classic.

missed this poll but probably would've voted "truckin'"

both are great, obv

If I'd taken live versions into account, I would've voted trucking, but I stuck with studio recordings and voted willin'

Nice poll!

We could also do “weed wine & whites” vs “reds, Vitamin C and cocaine”—which combo better for long hauls?

“weed, whites & wine” vs “reds, vitamin C and cocaine”

lol tough call, both bad in the long run

Never been a pill person, but former sounds much better to me.
