If I had to be one and one only song, it would be Hotel California by the Eagles

Nice choice, comrade. :cool:

I'd probably choose Hotel California, or something by Zeppelin.
They had some great acoustic tracks in Zepp III.
Maybe Gallow's Pole.

There is only one accoustic track I'm listening to at the moment!!

Eric Clapton's version of "Old Love", as heard on his 'Unplugged' album.

Utterly magnificent.

(Also worth a mention: Layla 'unplugged' and Kurt Cobains accoustic rendition of some "Meat Puppets" songs - most notably "Plateau".)

Rolling Stones: Sweet Virginia, Wild Horses, Heart of Stone

Beatles: Don't Let Me Down, Revolution #4 (I think thats the title...not #9 but the other one), here comes the sun

Zepplin: Stairway accoustic version

Clapton: Layla accoustic

The Band: pretty much anything they played on 'the last waltz'

umm all i can think of at the moment.

If you guys like acoustic shit you should check out the Swingin Utters, they're a street punk band but they have alot of good acoustic songs. Against Me ! is good as well.

Destiny by Buju Banton is one of the few modern reggae tunes I've listened to, and also very good too.
It has some Bob marley lyrics it in too.

They do an acoustic version? where can I find it ? I love brody Dalle I think she's better off without Tim Armstrong.

Oh yes... Umm... pretty much anything by Bob Dylan before he went christian, Really love the original to all along the watchtower also the ballad of frankie lee and Judas priest.

Anything by Tracy Chapman. Or Sevendust. And all the songs in the Alice in Chains 'Unplugged' album.

That pretty much covers it, I guess.

Woooah, destiny&#39;s a wicked song, I was just listening to some Buju Banton. He&#39;s got alotta socially conscious songs...I really like his stuff...

Also, freddy McGregor - Joggin&#39;. Not to be played as an accoustic, but just a really easy-going track.

Good to kick back to.
