I think acoustic songs just sound great, and are amazin for a relaxed mood, over the everyday Norwegian death metal that goes around [img]smile.gif[/img] So whats everyones favourite acoustic song?

Mine is either:
Green Day - Good Riddance
Or
Lit - Happy In The Mean Time

Good idea! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] I learnt to play on an acoustic, and have an unending love of it.

My favourites would have to include:

Ben Harper - Oppression (Fight For Your Mind)

Tea Party - Winter Solstice (Splendor Solis) and The Badger (Edges of Twilight)

The Badloves - Caroline (Holy Roadside)

Stevie Ray Vaughn - Life By The Drop (The Sky is Crying) and a live 12 string
version of Testify

Janis Joplin - Bobby McGee

And pretty much any of Bob Dylan's acoustic folk - The Ballad of Hollis Brown comes to mind right now.

Bob Dylan and Larry Norman were the two folk/rock artists who "taught" me how to play in my early years. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Leonis, The Tea Party did some GREAT accoustic songs! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

I like "Gone", "The Messenger" and "Psychopomp" and the one on Edges of Twilight... it's the third or sixth song... forgot the name as it's been ages since I listened to it and my boyfriend took the CD with him to Scotland.

Leonis 01-27-2003 06:12 PM

Mel! I forgot about Gone - that is just great. I personally love the original of The Messenger - by Daniel Lanois, it has one of my favourite guitar solos ever. But The Tea Party did a good job of it.

Tell your bf to send the CD back! It's cruel and unusual punishment to take someones Tea Party CD... [img]smile.gif[/img]

I agree
thanks MTV for the unplugged series. [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img]
It was a great idea to see rock bands strip back the overproduction and let there songs breathe.

<font color="cyan">Mine are probably the same as my bro (BEAUMANOIR), considering they are both MY CD's.

Also the Nirvana unplugged CD's.
