I don't think Miss Misery was anywhere near Elliott at his peak. Sure, that's the song that put him into the spotlight, so to say, but that was at the earlier stages in his career. In Elliott Smith and The Big Nothing, it talks about after the release of Good Will Hunting, people would mob up his shows, only wanting to hear that song. I'm not saying it's a bad song, though I like the early version that was released on New Moon better.

And Either/Or is more or less my favorite as well.
