kukocitb · 02-26-2016, 09:45 AM

I am always looking for good acoustic/unplugged albums or artists . What are some of your favorites?

Here are a couple of mine:
Alice In Chains MTV unplugged
Band of Horses Acoustic at the Ryman

Thanks in advance

The Indigo Girls Live: Back on the Bus, ya'll is one of my favorites. Most of Robert Johnson's stuff, Al Di Meola One Night in SF. Geez, now I need to go listen to some of these!

Great thread!

I enjoy the Nirvana and Dylan Unplugged.
The Freewheelin by Dylan is my favorite non electric album.

DetectiveChrome · 02-26-2016, 10:03 AM

AIC MTV Unplugged is my favorite too.

Some others: Eric Clapton MTV Unplugged, Nirvana MTV Unplugged, Days of the New - Days of the New, Neil Young - Harvest & Live At Massey Hall,
Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Texas, Live album by Townes Van Zandt, Sublime Acoustic: Bradley Nowell & Friends, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Live at Radio City & Grateful Dead - Reckoning

I don't know if you're a fan of Dave Matthews but Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds do amazing acoustic shows.

I agree with the Eric Clapton and Nirvana selections.

Clapton is amazing at all times, imo.

Tenacious D's (Jack Black and Kyle Gass) first album has some great acoustic guitar playing throughout AND very funny lyrics.

Milli Vanilli Unplugged will always be my favorite.

Weren't the Violent Femmes always acoustic back in the day? I used to watch them play on the sidewalk in front of the Oriental Theater here in Milwaukee(guess who else was there...Jeffrey Dahmer).

Miss Lizzy · 02-27-2016, 01:41 AM

They didn't do an entire acoustic album, but Bad Religion's acoustic versions of Sorrow and Dearly Beloved (from New Maps of Hell Deluxe Edition) are amazing.
