Numerous songs off of Tesla's Five Man Accoustical Jam -- nm - Stephen Feb 16, 12:18
Say it ain't so. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Feb 16, 12:18 [youtube]

some will laugh, but BabyFace did a great Unplugged that Slowhand guested on. It was groovesexy. -- nm - Diva Feb 16, 12:13
Does the Pumpkins doing Landslide count as acoustic? That song rocks -- nm - oblique Feb 16, 12:13
All of Stevie Ray Vaughn's MTV Unplugged. -- nm - Jim Feb 16, 12:12 3

    - Here's part of it. Rude Mood. Effing insane. -- (link) - Jim Feb 16, 12:17 [youtube]
I guess Clapton hasn't released an acoustic "Forever Man" -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 12:12 1
- Speaking of Eric Claptop, his CD is still $2.99 on Amazon mp3. Great deal for these songs. -- (link) - JaxSean Feb 16, 12:15
I'm sure TFox will skewer me for this, but Bon Jovi / Sambora doing the acoustic "Dead or Alive" at one of the MTV award shows was *really* good. - JaxSean Feb 16, 12:12 3
- Rather than a We Are the World revival, someone should bring back the Unplugged sessions with new bands -- nm - oblique Feb 16, 12:13 2
  - I see them on Paladia. Paramore was just on there recently, and was pretty good. - JaxSean Feb 16, 12:16
  - Isn't that supposed to be happening? -- nm - Diva Feb 16, 12:16
Bryan Adams - Back to You -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 12:11
Agree with 10000 Maniacs and Clapton (esp. Layla). I'd also add Dreamboat Annie. -- nm - Fuzzy Feb 16, 12:10

    - Nirvana and REM for me -- nm - CQ Feb 16, 12:11 1
