    That should have been worded 'What, in your opinion, are the 10 greatest acoustic songs'

    And even at that it's hard to make a list. There are too many guitar styles and/or techniques. Some might pick a simple 3 chord song because of the lyrics, while another person would pick a hard instrumental piece and say it's the best thing they ever heard etc etc etc

    That said, top 5 (off top of my head)

    1. Michael Hedges - Ariel Boundaries
    2. Erik Mongrain - Air Tap
    3. Justin King - Knock on Wood
    4. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
    5. Offspring - Dirty Magic

    Babe Im Gonna leave you - Led Zeppelin.
    Definitely have to have Neil Young.. Needle....
    America - Simon and Garfunkel
    Albion - Babyshambles (Ooh he slipped in a newie in with a bunch of conventionally accepted classics. Very pussy!)
    Acoustic Version of Everlong by the Foos
    Gallows pole - Led Zeppelin
    Alone Again Or - Love.
    For some reason I have to mention Mama Said by 'Tallica
    And the California Guitar trio do some fantastic acoustic songs (Though occasionally tend to sound like a .midi file)
    And what about Rosencratz and Guildenstern or whatever they are called.
    They dont suck.
