This is a list of 13 of the best acoustic songs ever made.  Not in any particular order.  


Flaw - Only The Strong Survive (Acoustic)

This is the acoustic bonus track on their  2001 Through The Eyes album

Johnny Cash - Hurt

"The video he made of that song was overwhelming. When I saw it the power and beauty of music struck me in a really profound way." "... an icon from a completely different world takes the song and juxtaposes himself into it in a way that seems more powerful to me than my own version."  -Trent Reznor

Radiohead - Creep

Even if you hate this song because it has been played to death. you know you really do love it.

David Gilmour - Wish You Were Here

Wish you were here by Pink Floyd is one of my all time favorite songs.  This version of it is quite awe inspiring.

Foo Fighters - Everlong

Even tough Dave Grohl was the drummer from Nirvana, I never really paid any attention to the Foo Fighters unit I heard them preform the acoustic version of Everlong on the radio.

The Beatles - Yesterday

Recorded in 1965, still hold up today.

Stone Temple Pilots - Creep

Another song named creep from the 90's.... 

Barry McGuire - Eve of Destruction

First heard a cover of the chorus of this song in The Stand mini-series and became obsessed...

Metallica - Fade To Black

While usually I'd say acoustic Metallica is akin to blasphemy... this song gives me chills in just about any live version

Guns N' Roses - Patience

...

Nirvana - Plateau

The entire eMpTy V unplugged album could probably go here... This is one of my favorite songs from that album.

Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven

Sad, beautiful, haunting...

Led Zeppelin - Going to California
