11.10.10 | Some of these weren't originally acoustic(look up the acoustic versions yourself. I'm not google, ya know), and some of these are covers, but all are worth it. |
dnor
11.10.10 | you going one song per artist pit? cuz I honestly think "Angeles" is a better song than "say yes" but still, solid list. |
AnotherBrick
11.10.10 | Too much johnny cash |
awhiteguy
11.10.10 | Nah, it didn't matter. I'm on a major acoustic kick lately, and these are basically the ones I continue to play over and over again. |
awhiteguy
11.10.10 | Brick, there's never enough Johnny Cash. |
BigHans
11.10.10 | List is orgasm. Fuck yes JIM CROCE |
dnor
11.10.10 | Acoustic always makes almost anything easy to listen to, gotta give you that much. |
BigHans
11.10.10 | although needsmoar Gordon Lightfoot - If You Could read My Mind. One of the best songs ever. |
awhiteguy
11.10.10 | Dude, You Don't Mess Around with Jim is a song I hated as a kid, but as I've grown older, it's one of my stalwarts. |
geng
11.10.10 | Some good tracks, but 9 has got to be up the with the worst songs Folds has ever done. |
BigHans
11.10.10 | Jim Croce rules. Bad Bad Leroy Brown, Operator, Time in a Bottle, Ill Have to Say I Love You in a Song. Win. |
BigHans
11.10.10 | but seriously, Lightfoot - If You Could Read My Mind. |
awhiteguy
11.10.10 | "Some good tracks, but 9 has got to be up the with the worst songs Folds has ever done."
To be honest, that's basically on here for nostalgia and the title. It's not very good, but it's still enjoyable because, well, let's face it: That's not something you normally hear for an acoustic melody. |
awhiteguy
11.10.10 | Yeah, I've heard it, Hans. I'll have to check it out later to remind myself how it sounds, though. |
dnor
11.10.10 | Hans, GL is great, but unfortunately the only song I've ever REALLY gotten into was his most famous - The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald |
BigHans
11.10.10 | Ill save you the trouble Pit. Song has great lyrics too:

dnor
11.10.10 | Well Hans, you officially made me bust out my parents "Gordon Lightfood: The Complete Greatest Hits" album and load it up...thank you! |
BigHans
11.10.10 | jam out to SUNDOWN. YOU BETTER TAKE CARE IF I FIND YOUVE BEEN CREEPIN DOWN MY BACK STAIRS.
Pit, where's James Taylor - Fire and Rain? Seriously this list slays though. |
awhiteguy
11.10.10 | Dude, if you hate me for this, I understand, but due to circumstances I had as a youngster, I can't stand James Taylor. |
BigHans
11.10.10 | nah I dont like most of Taylors stuff but that song is fucking pure Gold. |
awhiteguy
11.10.10 | I lived with a very abusive foster family when I was 10 or 11 and they played James Taylor constantly. I just can't listen to it. |
BigHans
11.10.10 | thats quite understandable. And strange that abusive assholes would jam out to something has calm as Taylor. |
awhiteguy
11.10.10 | Dude, it was James Taylor and gospel music. |
BigHans
11.10.10 | ah, I think I know the type you're talking about. |
