As much as I love to play the acoustic and as much time as I kill of practicing, I'll never be able to play Lindsay Buckingham's "Big Love". It's a little manic, but a great piece nonetheless. If you haven't heard it, I reccomend you give it a listen.

I'm interested in anyone else's favourite acoustic song, always looking for new gems.

Mosquito Song by Queens of the Stone Age is incredible.

-AC

I like Rage's cover of "Beautiful World" and anything by the Nightwatchman. Real simple stuff, but great and acoustic nonetheless...

Often when it comes to acuostic, less is more.

The Nightwatchman material (Tom Morello) is really good.

Until the End is an incredible song.

-AC

Wanted Dead or Alive by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora at MTV, that was infact also the thing that started MTV Unplugged

Green Day-Good Riddance

Bob Marley - Redemption Song. For many reasons.

I like Here Comes The Breeze by Gomez, and A Stranger by APC, the ultimate in acoustic simplicity.

But when it comes down to it, Fake Plastic Trees is pretty unrivalled.

Butterfly by Weezer.

Nirvana's Covers of Lake of Fire and The Man Who Sold the World are both good.

Stephen Lynch special fred

I was going to choose that one, so I'll nominate another - although it's an acoustic version, rather than a strictly acoustic song...

'High' - Feeder

"I'm going out for a while, so I can get high with my friends..."

Also, I'm not a big Coldplay fan, but 'Til Kingdom Come' is beautiful.

One more...Ben Harper and Jack Johnson's cover of Marley's 'High Tide or Low Tide' is perfect.

Also good pick on More than Words.

It's smooooooooooth. I think they did it on 'Last Call' on MTV, so you'll have to download it...It's a great cover, though.

nono

there's a acoustic version of Psycho Killer by The Talking Heads thats really awesome! I also heard their (nothing But) Flowers in acoustic but it was just okay.

Im not sure if Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix is acoustic or not. If not that it would be Here My Train Coming by jimi hendrix.

Little Wing is electric.

Did we just forget about 'hotel california'?
Radioheads' street spirit is pretty!

"Hey Mr Tambourine Man" by Dylan.

Every one should listen to "Neon" by John Mayer in acoustic, if you can get the version from last call with carson daly

The acoustic version of 'Born To Run' off Bruce Springsteens 'Chimes Of Freedom' EP. The Guitar is crisp but Bruce's voice is like gravel, it's great!

any of the john butler trio acoustic stuff...

Landslide - Smashing Pumpkins

Polly by Nirvana

I just came to say Eagles ~ Hotel California.

'Freedom (Part 2)', 'Music' and 'Periscopes' by The Beautiful Girls...All perfect acoustic tunes...

Gylans acoustic stuff rocks the big one one......althoguhn I can't even think of an electric one...does he even play that?

Oh and Neil Youngs "Heart of Gold" is purre gold.......

Oh, shit! 'Heart Of Gold' is an absolute classic! Good call.

songs i'd put in... though not strictly acoustic....

johnny cash, hurt
qotsa, mosquito song
weezer, island in the sun
metallica, mama said and nothing else matters
mondo generator, four corners, day i die

Johnny Cash-Hurt
Sevendust-Angels Song

Patience-Guns N' Roses

Johnny Cash's Cover of Hurt is one of my favorites. Macy's Day Parade is also one of my favorites.

I am making an all acoustic album and there have been good songs in here so far and I appreciate the (indirect) help.

How about Love of my Life by Queen? Nobody think of that one? If you get a chance to, listen to the Live at Wembly version that was recorded back in 1986 (I was 2 then...) and you will be rather impressed. And, of course, Zakk Wylde's acoustic "Mama I'm Coming Home" is always a winner. I mean, it's Zakk

As for modern songs, Hey there Delilah by the Plain White T's... A Sharp Hint of New Tears by Dashboard (I really dont care for them either, but I like this song) and pretty much anything by Days of the New.

Jose Gonzalez - Crosses

Good one

Winter Solstice by The Tea Party

if you're making a brilliant acoustic album, dont bother... just buy Veneer by Jose Gonzalez

I would just like to make an acoustic album. I make theme based CD's. I made one about drugs, one about driving, one about trains, and so on and so forth.

Thanks for the suggestion though

needle in the hay by elliott smith, i love that song.

my friend made an acoustic themed cd a couple months ago and i really liked it and was all ready to make one and completely forgot. ive got a few songs in mind, i just need some more to add to it and im good to go.

There are a lot of great songs in this thread.

If you need a few more suggestions...

ANYTHING by Simon and Garfunkle (Scarborough Fair is my personal fav)
Stone Temple Pilots acoustic Plush was fantastic

Something older? Then got to be Nick Drake, love Things Behind the Sun at the moment, its a gorgeous track

Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive - Great song

Cockney Rebel - Ritz

The Silent Man by Dream Theater.

Everlong by the Foo Fighters is amazing

So Cold by Breaking Benjamin

Its not exactly 'acoustic' but it sure sounds like it : Emily - From First To Last

Led Zeppelin - Over the hills and far away



Well, i guess its not really an "Acoustic Guitar" song, but it does have one of my favorite acoustic moments in the beginning of the song. Truely spectacular fingering and whatnot. Well, you know what. I'm calling *** an acoustic song, because there is a LOT of acoustic guitar in it. Which is the best part of the whole song (IMO)

-AC Oh god, you got that right. Amazing song, i love every bit of it. Even the jingle bells in climax of the song.
