If you like Foo Fighters, there's a whole CD of live acoustic stuff they did.

I was always a fan of the acoustic version of Local H's "Bound for the Floor"

Oh yeah, and anything by Mark Kozelek.

Sufjan Stevens:
-Chicago (Acoustic Version)
-For the Widows in Paradise, for the Fatherless in Ypsilanti
-Romulus
-The Avalanche

Iron and Wine:
-Sunset and Soon Forgotten
-The Trapeze Swinger

ALSO

Neutral Milk Hotel:
-Two Headed Boy pt. 2
-King of Carrot Flowers pt. 1

I believe that you would greatly enjoy both the lyrical and musical content in both of these songs, Triple A

Peter Mulvey: Oliver's Army (Elvis Costello cover)
Tegan and Sara: More for Me
Taillights fade (Doesn't matter which acoustic version you get, it's done by Buffalo Tom, but there's also a Lisa Loeb version usually put up under the wrong name [Twilights Fade] and a version with Bill Janovitz of BT and Lisa Loeb).

Also, that was the theme song in "Closer"

Nickel Creek, ALL songs.

Alice In Chains - Dont Follow(not sure if that's really acoustic though)

YES

I am in the process of DLing these (and the keyboard songs in the other thread) and will listen to them soon and let Y'ALL know.

Modest Mouse: Banrupt on Selling.

Crash Romeo - On Deaf Ears We Will Ride Tonight

iron and wine is like the krappiest band ever.

mitchanthropic why Lives? i think that is maybe the worst song on the album. 3rd Planet def if you want a modest mouse song. but the answer to this thread is blowin in the wind.

I dunno, I've always really liked Lives. It's just a really different song, and the transitions in it are not what you'd expect at all, but they still work. I dunno. I just find it a musically intriguing song. :-\

But yeah, 3rd Planet as well for sure. :love:

Lives is an awesome song. Especially when it just suddenly changes mid way.

I love the line:

It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember
That our lives are such a short time
It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember
When it takes such a long time

Gonna have to disagree with you there. Iron and Wine is one of the best acoustic bands that no one has ever heard of.

So good :'(

Most of the MTV "Unplugged" series were good.. Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Jay Z, Laren Hill, etc etc etc..

dude everyone knows who iron and wine is cause they did a cover of the popular postal service song. whatever tho

Yeah, except they're not a band "no one has ever heard of."

They're not horrible, though. I don't know how they'd come up on the bottom of anyone's list, like 'em or not.

I just DLd Dave Grohl singing "My Hero" live from an old Howard Stern radio show, pretty good.

Also, I've been listening to Shinedown's acoustic version of "Simple Man". Real good.

if you want acoustic songs, days of the new. although only from their first self-titled album, the rest of it is extremely craptastic.

Emily - Stephen Fretwell

There's a decent version of Everlong floating around online.

Pretty much the entire Radio 1 live lounge album is quite decent also

spill canvas - sunsets and car crashes
spill canvas - the tide
any silverstein acoustic version

Kyuss - Space Cadet
