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

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

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
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Wednesday, 12 January 2022 15:15 (two years ago) link
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.

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?
