What are your favorite acoustic songs?

[The Dude]

Original and/or covers.
I have an awsome copy of Pearl Jam doing Black live that makes the hairs on my neck stand up. My all time favorite tune is Nirvana doing Where did you sleep last night from Unplugged in New York. I am not a big Staind fan but I heard a wicked acoustic cover of Sober by Tool. The first acoustic that I remember was Hey Hey by Eric Clapton. Nutshell from Alice and Chains Unplugged stands out as well. There are many great acoustic albums, What are some of your favorite songs?

[Exploding Sockpuppet]

Yeah, the Sober cover by staind was good. My favorite is Linkin Park's acoustic version of "One Step Closer" but, I lost it and can't find it anymore.

[scissorknot]

It is a toss up between Nirvana's cover of Where Did You Sleep Last Night and Tracy Chapman's Talkin' Bout a Revoultion

Do you have the tamborine(sp?) to go with the sing-along? That song is so not the same to sing along with without the badass instrumental with the tamborine to slap against your knee.


Anything from Nirvana Unplugged or Alice In Chains Unplugged is damn near impossible to beat as far as recorded shit goes[no NW bias I swear;)], but even being a far from big rap fan I can remember seeing LL Cool J do his version of Mama Said Knock You Out completely unplugged on MTV and being jaw-dropped at how good he made that song sounded when normally it would be completely drowned in synthesized bullshit.

And of course you can't beat Eric Clapton going almsot anything unplugged or my possible all time fav, Skynard, Free Bird accoustical.

tamborines are for yuppies, we use spoons and mouth-harps down here! nothing like watching young pretty short shorts bouncing to these beats!

i'd veg out on some nirvana anyday tho.

[Eyez Neverclear]

See you got it all wrong, you're thinking of a tamborine as being some rich guys instrument that was bought at a store when really the average joe can make one at home with very little, honestly I saw it on HGTV just last night......... I was impressed

a frugal yuppy?


hmmmm......it could work. you'd have to lose the flower-print shirts and get into some over-alls tho! :|

Yeah I guess "frugal yuppy" is damn near an oxymoron. But as far as the flower print shirts go..... I was thinking real plaid bought at 2nd hand stores like the grunge phase was meant to symbolize and not the fake shit I bought into when I was a dumb kid and spent $40 on a flannel......... Grungy flannel works really well for cotton-eyed joe too...... well at least how I picture it anyways

Sublime's Pool Shark

I havn't heard of any acoustic Sublime, I'd bet that it sounds great.

Any others?

[theallstarjohnson]

i like nirvana's all apologies. it doesn't sound a whole lot better in acoustic. it's just a generally amazing song.

LOL

i was under the influence of many coronas last night when i said cotton-eyed joe. now, while suffering 1st hang-over in quite some time, a little 'peaceful easy feeling' by the eagles seems to be the right medicine!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sublime_Acoustic:_Bradley_Nowell_&_Friends

its the best Sublime album there is hands down. (okay IMHO.. :p)

[Metall_fan]

Classical music can be kinda cool actually ;)


But if we talk of modern artists I'll go with Angels Fall First by Nightwish.

I'd say that fits and you are so right... there are some really classical guitar peices which are largely acoustic. I'm assuming you mean Like Beethoven, Mozart, bach (? not classical but someone could have done a cheapened guitar version). And actually now that i think of it... wicked (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjJvcdODvQ4&mode=related&search=)

[Santo]

Uhmmm there is a STP recording of Plush that sounds damn good, i've also heard the acoustic version of Black by pearl jam, and Where did you sleep last night cover by Nirvana is way up there too....

the video is an absolute disaster, but Rodrigo y Gabriela are awesome.

here's another one...its kinda funny, when she talks you can hear the Dublin twang inside her Mexican accent http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lvMQCmUVv8

I am going to check it out. Did you tell me about Nightwish before? I am sure that is how I ended up with Phantom of the Opera.

they have an entire acoustic album, but both versions of pool shark are on robbing the hood

[The Dude]

That is on the list for sure. I only ever really listened to the What I Got album.

lol, yeah, it could've been me. I am spreading the Nightwish gospel to whoever is willing to listen. Their electric stuff are great too btw, but you have to get into the genre a little first

also check out "Swanheart". It starts acoustic, but has an amazing guitar solo kicking in at the very end

[miemio]

The Nirvana unplugged songs are beautiful, but my favourite acoustic song must be *is there anybody out there* by Pink Floyd. (The Wall)

lol you're still hooked on nightwish vit? Thats good, they do have some nice songs=)

Edit: And staind has butchered sober!8o|

[curlybogtrotter]

Nirvana Unplugged is brilliant.

Now that I have listened to it a few times, I agree.
