I actually enjoy Whodunnit, it is in my opinion a much better song.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

`Misunderstanding' is a nice little poppy number with a decent vocal from Phil, really rather lovely! It gets my vote. I thought Phil was at his most genuinely emotional on the `Duke' album. I used to think `Whodunnit' was bloody awful, but now I find it kind of bent and hypnotic, like some sort of psychedelic/new wave piece! That `Abacab' album is full of lots of differents styles and sounds, `Whodunnit' fits on that one well.

Hate?! ... Far from that. I don't hate either of them. In fact, I like them both, so no vote.

I wonder if this thread should be moved to the Just for Fun-section.
On returning to topic: I have always considered Who Dunnit? the worst thing Genesis ever did, so I have to vote for that piece of filler called Misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding for sure. I never skip any track on an album I listen to, although I can leave the room and do something else whilst a 'lesser' track is playing...........Whodunnit is one such track......

None of them, really. There are better Genesis songs from that period.

I read the fine print and will therefore abstain until my lawyer takes a look at it.

Whodunnit? Who commited the crime of recording Misunderstanding? I demand a coroner's inquest!

They're both pretty dire, but I'll vote Whodunnit. At least it catches your attention. Misunderstanding makes me yawn so hard I could dislocate my jaw.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
