chanman1128 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 If you had to choose one over the other....which would you choose?kind of just wanted to post a polling questionsorry if this has been done before Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Your poll needs work. I voted for both. Thanks for not making me choose! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Gym Teacher Man Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I voted for Misunderstood because it was my favorite wilco song for a very long time. but I listen to Sunken Treasure solo way more. Both would be top ten or so Wilco songs for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmacomber68w Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I went misunderstood, but the real poll should be jeff solo Sunken Treasure vs Wilco live Misunderstood, my brain would have exploded trying to answer that one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I went Misunderstood. There's way too many variables with Sunken Treasure (what version are we talking about here?). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chanman1128 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 When I created my (very poor) poll, I was thinking the studio versions, since they both start each disc, similar type songs.... Sorry guys, first time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stagerug Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Sunken Treasure (studio) Misunderstood (studio) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 i'll go for sunken treasure - mainly based on live versions Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dondoboy Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I went for Misunderstood. If only for that beginning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
W(TF) Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 i'll go for sunken treasure - mainly based on live versions I'll go the opposite way...er, kinda. Sunken Treasure is a studio masterpiece. Misunderstood is a great live vehicle. Love them both & JM2C. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I went for both? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moe_Syzlak Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Could this be more apples and oranges? Maybe ELT vs. Radio Cure? Anyway if the choice is Misunderstood (studio) vs. Sunken treasure (studio), I'll pick Sunken Treasure based on the live versions. The "nothing!" shouts in Misunderstood grate on me as does the phasing effect on Jeff's voice in the studio version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chanman1128 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Could this be more apples and oranges? Maybe ELT vs. Radio Cure? I mean, I always thought that these two songs were very similar and comparable. Am I in the minority here? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moe_Syzlak Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I mean, I always thought that these two songs were very similar and comparable. Am I in the minority here?You know, I went and listened to the Being There versions after i posted this and I can see that now. I personally can't stand the production on the Pre-YHF albums (things like the aforementioned phase effect), so in my head I'm thinking of solo Tweedy Sunken Treasure vs. Kicking TV Misunderstood.

jmacomber68w Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 My favs in this order... ST (solo live)Misunderstood (band live)ST (band live)Misunderstood (solo live)ST (album)Misunderstood (album) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnes Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I like the melody and the way it's sung a lot on Sunken Treasure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LenF Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 hmm.... glad my decision has no ramifications as to whether I get to hear either one again. That being the case, I always thought the lyrics to Sunken Treasure were extremely powerful. Also, while the "Nothing!" screaming at the end of Misunderstood provides a cathartic moment when performed live, it's not something I enjoy listening to on a recording.
