Life By The Drop

[katyon6th]

Creep by Radiohead
Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton on MTV Unplugged
U2 at the Red Rocks, any song
Nirvana on MTV Unplugged, any song

[Ginofan]

U2 @ red rocks is not acoustic

[travis2]

Hole Hearted -- Extreme

[Slomo]

Eric Clapton - Leyla from the MTV Unplugged show

[midgetonadonkey]

The acoustic version of Everlong from the Howard Stern show is great. Also, Lay Lady Lay by Dylan, Marley's Redemption Song are my favorites.

[Gin N Juice]

Plush by Stone Temple Pilots on Howard Stern and Hotel California

U2 @ red rocks is not acoustic

Oh, okay. :depressed

[Jekka]

U2 @ red rocks is not acoustic

:lol It used to piss me off so much when I would download something off Napster that said "acoustic" when instead it was just "live".

The new Jackson Browne acoustic CD is pretty damn good, so is the MTV Unplugged of Oasis, but Travis' acoustic version of "Hit Me Baby One More Time" actually makes a Britney song worth listening to, and that's impressive.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Don't know if it qualifies as acoustic but I don't give a shit:

The Trapeze Swinger or Such Great Heights by Iron & Wine

[katyon6th]

Don't know if it qualifies as acoustic but I don't give a shit:

The Trapeze Swinger - Iron & Wine

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Something In The Way or Oh, Me or On A Plain - Nirvana Unplugged(but not really)...

[midgetonadonkey]

Ben Folds Five doing Dr. Dre's Bitches ain't Shit is also good.

[KEDA]

Plush-STP

316-Van Halen (not really an acoustic, but an acoustic progarm that Eddie ran through the EBMM)

The complete Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds double CD set

Foo Fighters-Times Like These

Spanish Fly-Eddie Van Halen

[Melmart1]

I like a lot of the songs in here. I am also partial to the single acoustic guitar version of "Bizarre Love Triangle" by Frente. With the original New Order version, I honestly didn't pay a lot of attention to just how touching the lyrics are. There is also a song called "Labour of Love" that I like a lot on that same album.

[TheAdmiral#50]

Simple Man~ Shinedown

[chode_regulator]

U2 @ red rocks is not acoustic
irregardless, u2 blows fat donkey balls
and not to be mean or anything but i think shinedowns version of simple man blows.

TESLA Five Man Acoustical Jam

You can listen to the entire album it is fabulous. This is the album that kickstarted the whole "unplugged" boom of the 90s. It has Tesla originals from their 1st two albums, plus some fantastic covers..including SIGNS

Just yesterday I heard that song for the first time. Loved it!

I had no idea it was a cover.

Love the cover version from Tesla, but the original is so much better. It's one of a few songs that I classify as perfect, along with Blues Image "Ride Captain Ride" and Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me." (off the top of my head).

Sounds intriguing. Love DiMeola...


I'll have to agree with the concencous that any song off Clapton's, Nirvana's or Alice in Chain's "Unplugged" albums are about as good as you get.

Not exactly acoustic, but Alice in Chains "Jar of Flies" album is as good as an LP as there is.

"Whimsical" by Days of the New...
"Atlantic City" by Bruce Springsteen...
"Hurt" by Johnny Cash...

Great songs.

[Guru of Nothing]

I'll have to agree with the concencous that any song off Clapton's,

With all due respect [/Tony Soprano], I cannot stand Eric Clapton.

Dude is a sacred cow, through and through.

That's just my opinion.

[Pistons < Spurs]

TESLA Five Man Acoustical Jam



Great album. Great band. One of my all time favorites.

[greyforest]

pink floyd - fearless
pink floyd - wish you were here

there have been a whole lot of suggestions in this thread for non-acoustic songs...:wtf:

[T Park]

Alice In Chains unplugged

if you could wear out a CD, Ive done that one.


Clapton unplugged is genius.


any acoustic performance by Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, or Clint Black.

[ChumpDumper]

"Atlantic City" by Bruce Springsteen.Nebraska is a really strong album. I really like "demo" albums like that. PJ Harvey's demo album blows away the actual studio disc, for example.

As for my favorite, I'll just cheat and say I'll put in Coltrane or some classic Blue Note title - but I guess I'd have to exclude anything with guitar, vibes or a Hammond.

Ok, I won't cheat and say "Unfaithful Servant" by the Band. I don't consider the electric bass on it cheating since most of the other examples had plugged basses, even if they looked acoustic. "Rocking Chair" from the same album is good too.

If you juat want to hear someone play an acoustic guitar in ways you never thought possible, just pick up the some Leo Kottke and skip over the vocal selections.

Nebraska is a really strong album. I really like "demo" albums like that.

It's my favorite Springsteen Album, first song to last, but oddly enough is one of the few that I don't own on vinyl.

"Greetings..." is prolly 1b.


And TPark... I know what you're talking about in reguards to AIC "Unplugged". Own every disc, but that is still my favorite.

"Down in a hole" is otherworldly.

My cousin, who first turned me on to the Seattle movement, gave me the taped recording of the show. Said he found it and thought I should have it.

A few years back I let a friend barrow it. Big mistake. Idiot taped over it.

Let's just say it's something I haven't gotten over.

[Mark in Austin]

I downlaoded about half of this one in Napster's hayday... never could find the end of it, but the first two ans a half minutes of it just kicked my ass:

STP's acoustic cover of Pour Some Sugar on Me.

[conqueso]

Let's hear em, I need some good suggestions. :king

Not the best, but it's a damn good one:

Vic Ruggiero, "International War Criminal"

Don't listen to it if you're a Republican.

Also, while not entirely acoustic guitar, this is the best:

The Slackers, "Come Back Baby"

[Duff McCartney]

Travis' acoustic version of "Hit Me Baby One More Time" actually makes a Britney song worth listening to, and that's impressive.

Well personally I think it's a good song over all anyway even without Britney Spears and the poppyness of it.

[Tim Reynolds]

DMB's Live at Luther College (the 2 cds)
yup

best acoustic guitar duo of all time... this cds good for beginners but nothing compared to the bootlegs floating around

[UtownSpur]

Great album. Great band. One of my all time favorites.


Agreed! My favorite band of all time. Tesla never got the credit they deserve. Just in case some dont know..there latest album called INTO THE NOW is great, I highly recomend it!
