Best Acoustic Rock Songs
We have to go deeper than Green Day in first place. Maybe some Oasis? How I wish... How I wish you were here... We are just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl... Year after year... ahh... that voice...
Greatest acoustic rock song ever written. I didn't like acoustic rock until this song changed my views. Now I love it!
As great as Green Day is, this song surpasses it. This is possibly one of the greatest songs ever written.
Short, but yet so meaningful. Describes life in a way that is both satirical yet hopeful. It really brings forth a lot of heartfelt emotion in the way he sings it. Go Green Day!
This band has changed my life so much. This song is one of my favorite songs by them, and it was also the first song I learned on guitar. I love you, Green Day.
Love all of Green Day's songs. It was between this and Wake Me Up When September Ends for me, but I chose this as it was in second place.
What? This song is supposed to be at least in the top 10. Kick-ass solo by James... No way it's just 35.
It's the best acoustic song I've ever listened to.
This song is evergreen. Please vote for it!
Layla deserves the number one spot! No doubt about it! The passionate flow of the acoustic music is seriously one of the best I have ever heard. Vote for #1.
The unplugged version is awesome. On the other hand, maybe I'm a purist, but the audience member who "woo-hoos" during the chorus pisses me off every time I hear this track.
It should be this and Hotel California (Hell Freezes Over version) battling for the first spot forever.
This definitely should be first. It revolutionized acoustic music. It shows that acoustic can be as powerful as hard rock.
This song is a message about fame and reality. It is very metaphorical but sounds really good.
A full band singing in harmony for half the song. Two legendary guitarists and one awesome bassist all on acoustic guitars. An awesome melody line played by Slash under the chords being played by McKagan and Stradlin. This makes it one of the best acoustic songs written by a rock band.
The electric version in Tokyo 1992 and the 1989 AMA versions are even better.
I just can say that clearly, this is the best song I've ever heard.
Wanted Dead or Alive is a good song by Bon Jovi from their 1986 studio album, Slippery When Wet, alongside Livin' on a Prayer and You Give Love a Bad Name. I love Richie's solo guitar and also Jon's voice, especially when he screams "Alright."
Come on, this song is one of the greatest songs. It deserves to be first by a large margin.
One of the best songs I've ever heard - unique melody, awesome vocals, great lyrics.
This would get my vote. I'm still trying to figure out how Poison came up with this song. What is the second-best Poison song, by the way, if there is one? This is a great song, though. Everyone loves it.
This should be in the top 3! Grow up, guys!
Everything about this song is so haunting and chilling but at the same time peaceful. The harmonies, the guitar, and the vocals provided by probably the greatest singer of all time, Layne Staley, are mesmerizing.
Alice in Chains' Unplugged album is one of my favorites. I love how Layne and Jerry sing off each other. I'm thankful every day for all of their music.
The acoustic bass is amazing. Really, everything in that song is amazing, though.
This should be in the top 3. Incredible song.
Excellent melody, vocals, story, and guitars. Great and epic guitar outro.
Unique melody. Sad and beautiful song. Great vocals.
Soft, smooth, and subtle. One of the best things about the song is that it is all chords - no fancy strumming, just simple music at its best!
This has got to be moved up. I learned how to play it right, with all the instrumentation and everything. Not only is it a great song, but it's also fun to play!
Fantastic: the best and only other way to play this song. And a golden voice.
Easy to play along and the best one to scream and shout or sing in the car!
Beautiful acoustic song, also with really deep and meaningful lyrics most likely referencing Layne's death, probably one of the best rock songs of the decade.
