Acoustic Songs

Beaumanoir · 01-27-2003, 04:59 PM

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.

Mine are probably the same as my bro (BEAUMANOIR), considering they are both MY CD's.

Also the Nirvana unplugged CD's.

Jane Says is one that springs to mind.

Kansas--Dust in the Wind
ELP--Lucky Man
Dream Theater--Wait for Sleep, The Silent Man
