Skyclad - Spinning Jenny

Either of the acoustic versions are excellent. Although I'm fond of the fiddle only version as it sounds almost like Doom meets vidya.

Demons & Wizards - Fiddler on the Green

Saddest song I've ever heard and the best song Jon Schaffer will ever write.

Ayreon - Dragon on the Sea

Lana Lane has the best voice ever.

The Mediaeval Baebes - Scarborough Fayre

Simon and Garfunkel can take a hike.

Definitely "Lady In Black" by Uriah Heep. It's just two fucking chords over and over, but they're two good chords. :P

Red House Painters - Drop; probably the saddest song you'll ever hear.

City & Colour - Bring Me Your Love (album); a warm, mature, and uplifting all acoustic album and one of my favorites of this year.

Green Carnation - Acoustic Verses (album); a dense and atmospheric album with a 15-minute centerpiece that will seriously blow you away.

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (album); there are few albums that are either happier or more depressing than this one.

I didn't mean to end up listing albums, but each of these are great and I highly recommend each.

I like Simon and Garfunkel :(

Not just my favorite acoustic song, but probably my favorite song period, is "Redemption Song" by Bob Marley.

Been a big fan recently of The Rolling Stones - Play with Fire.

Nirvana's cover of The Man Who Sold the World is really fuckin' great.

Belle and Sebastian - Ease Your Feet into the Sea

John Fahey - "Poor Boy A Long Way from Home"... I'm pretty sure this song was at least partly inspired by the Stones' "Prodigal Son" but it's a great solo acoustic instrumental version by in my opinion the best fingerstyle guitarist ever.

Tracy Chapman - "Talkin' Bout a Revolution".. just a damn good song..

Bob Dylan - "Masters of War".. or "Chimes of Freedom"... or "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"... Bob Dylan is the shit

Robert Johnson - "If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day"... this is I think Johnson's best song from a guitar-playing perspective.

Bonnie "Prince" Billy - I See A Darknes (whole album)
