Best Unplugged songs?

[Liam]

What are the best songs that are done unplugged? I'm looking mostly at stuff which has been done on MTV Unplugged, but as long as it was re-recorded acoustically/unplugged (rather than being an acoustic song already), thats fine also.

I'll add some of my choices later.

Skindred have an acoustic bonus disc on their album, it's awesome. Trivium have been kicking out some Acoustic stuff as well recently, which is also really good.

Chris Cornell's "Seasons", but I'm sure everyone knew that already. Those determined enough can even track down a copy from when Cornell performed it live at the Euphoria Morning radio premiere.

The Alice In Chains "Unplugged" album is solid, if not great.

First Days of the New album, with few exceptions, is completely acoustic.

Edit: "Hear You Me" from Jimmy Eat World's "Bleed American" album is a very well-done song, as well.

Second Edit: The acoustic version of "Like Suicide" by Soundgarden. Enough said.

Yeah, Edit: Disturbed's "Darkness" if you're looking for a simple but effective song. Same for Staind's "Epiphany" (arguably the only song I can regularly go back and listen to by Staind.)

More as I think of 'em.

Don't forget the Paul McCartney and KISS Unpluggeds, those were big shit.

Bruce Springsteen and Eric Clapton Unplugged are two damn good albums.

[probablyoliver]

"Be Quiet and Drive" by the Deftones is a personal favourite, as well as Eric Clapton's "Layla".

[Benji]

"The Middle" and "No Sensitivity" by Jimmy Eat World, go acoustic for it.

[apsham]

Oh and as far as non-Unplugged stuff goes, I would also have to say the second disk of In A Coma by Matthew Good, since it contains Rooms, bascially him recording some of his favorites acoustically in one sitting.

How awesome was Dying In Your Arms in London? I loved it.

I wish that guy was center, further back. Then we'd so be able to see our heads.

I wish he was at southampton recording the EWB Mosh Pit '06

[Summers]

The mosh pit in London was so much better, dragsy was right, those Southerners can't mosh for shit. We killed them all.

I'm proud, I charged into a circle pit with dragsy at Southampton, and you at London.

Anyone have a list of the acoustic songs Trivium has done?

[ROC]

Coming from a man who's never been a Nirvana fan, their unplugged stuff was fantastic, but I'm quite certain you've heard that unplugged. Still, "Lake of Fire" was one badass song.

I was always partial to the acoustic versions of "Times Like These" and "Everlong" by Foo Fighters as well.

[VerbalPuke]

I'm not a big fan of the Smashing Pumpkins anymore, but I always liked their accoustic version of "Cherub Rock". I believe it was recorded in a studio in France, for MTV France or some shit. I'm sure their is video of it laying around the internet, it's from a Siamese Dream video they made in 93/94.

My favourite unplugged albums are Jay-Z, Lauren Hill, Nirvana and Alice in Chains. Craig David does some pretty good acoustic stuff, his guitarist is fucking amazing.

Baha I was at this show losers. "

I have to say it's amazing how massive Trivium have become in a year. Considering they had an album and EP out no one really heard of them and then they brought out Ascendancy and they just became absolutely huge.

[Guest Spike Lee]

Jay-Z is great on unplugged. Shows that hip-hop isn't all electric.
