I really like it when bands who usually dont do acoustic stuff stick a really good acoustic song on their albums. Whats your favorite(s)?

mine is probably "swing life away" by Rise Against

 

[amateur]

I really like the acoustic version of Everlong by the Foo Fighters

If anyone posts anything from Nirvana Unplugged, they must be beaten severely.

 

[PatBranch]

Childeren of the sea by Black Sabbath - the beggining is acoustic.

 

[robdamanii]

Hrm....acoustics....

I'm partial to actual acoustic music (i.e. not unplugged).

Springsteen and Yellowcard come immediately to mind as good acoustic arrangers. I'm sure there are more, but my mind is just full of stuff for class right now.

 

[-dustin]

Monte Montgomery's version of Romeo & Juliet.

 

[dh_dirt_diva]

anything from Minnie Driver or Cold Play (OOOHHH, Cold Play!)

 

[vallEbikes]

[stevew]

Bum Leg

another beaut is Uncle Tupelo's "I Wish My Baby Was Born"...hell, anything on _March 16-20, 1992_ is a keeper. definitely one of the best cds i own.

stevew, probably my fave SMB song is "Glass Jaw". man pernice can write some great songs. i figured it's a given you'd also like American Music Club, but one can never be sure.

suzx ass!!

Well sure compared to his regular albums, but as far as acoustic stuff goes, I like it.

 

[COmtbiker12]

I'm listening to Roundabout from Yes in it's acoustic form right now and off the top of my head I'd say it's one of my favorite acoustics. Although I have to say that I like acoustics from all the big classic rock bands too (Stones, The Who, etc...)

 

[jimmydean]

I really like the acoustic version of Everlong by the Foo Fighters

That's my wife and I's song. I have "everlong" engraved into my ring too. They did it live on the air on knrk here in Portland when we first got together.

That's a band I have been neglecting to listen to.

If Mr.Pernice and Mr.Cave were to tour together, I would be set for life as far as shows go.

I have a Uncle Tupelo CD rolling around in my car somewhere.

Needle And The Damage Done, probably the most powerful acoustic song ever, by Neil Young.

[GumbaFish]

Too many to think of...but the whole session from blues unplugged on VH1 when they had Stevie Ray Vaughan and Joe Satriani do acoustic songs was sick...and SRV did his on a 12 string.

Pretty much anything from the Nirvana Unplugged CD

 

[Bicyclist]

Neil Young stuff in general is good. I think when rock bands do acoustic covers they are usually no good.

 

[Silver]

Chelsea Hotel #2, Leonard Cohen.

Needle And The Damage Done, probably the most powerful acoustic song ever, by Neil Young.

Oh my god... Neil Young is so freaking offensive to the ear. His voice sucks, his guitar playing sucks....I'm not sure which is worse....

 

[corey_rideDC]

i just listened to superchunk's acoustic version of 'detroit has a skyline too' ... but since i'm on a sabbath kick this week, i gotta say 'planet caravan'

 

[Total Heckler]

Saosin - "Bury Your Head", "Seven Years", "3rd Measurement In C".

Thrice - "Stare at the Sun".

Please tell me some of you guys have heard these...

"Thrashers" is also way up there, as is "Ambulance Blues". Neil knows how to play and write for an acoustic gtr

go listen to some Rush or Dream Theater, you freak.

Nina Gordon- Straight Outta Compton

 

[surfinguru]

"Girl I want to lay you down" Jack Johnson

 

[McGRP01]

Favorite? That's a tough one because I listen to a lot of acoustic music. Right now it's Bob Dylan's "Tomorrow is a Long Time" as done by Nickle Creek. Simply beautiful...

 

[OGRipper]

Redemption Song.

Or maybe "Beth." Peter Chris is sooo dreamy. :love:

 

[Tenchiro]

anything from Minnie Driver or Cold Play (OOOHHH, Cold Play!)

A friend of mine was in a band called Minnie Driver.

Mr. Brightside by Marty Casey

YES! all of a sudden I like N8.

Such a great album.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

If you like acoustic, you MUST hear "Sam Hall" by Johnny Cash. For real. Do it. It's one of his later works of art from the American Recordings days with Rick Rubin.

All those records Cash did with Rubin are classics...
