So you've £10 left in your wallet, what album do you buy for pure acoustic class?

For me it would be either Days of the New - Days of the New or Alice in Chains - Unplugged.
If I really had to pick just one, I would go for Alice in Chains.
Living and dying laughing and crying
Once you have seen it you will never be the same
Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean
My favourite acoustic album is actually a bootleg, thinking about it, it contains a cover that sorely needs adding to the favourite covers thread but you can't buy it so I guess it's irrelevant..
Alice in Chains Unplugged would've be the retail album I'd recommend to be honest but seeing as Trash has called that I'll say Newton Faulkner - Hand Built By Robots![]()
I'd have to go with Alice in Chains unplugged to.
For me Foo Fighters - Skin and Bones

AIC Unplugged £3.49 on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Unplugged-Al...3989939&sr=8-1
First thing that sprung to mind was Eric Clapton - MTV Unplugged, so i'll say that until i can think of anything better. The Incubus AT&T acoustic set is also an old favourite but not really an album.
Keep it simple, The Very Best Of MTV Unplugged.
Otherwise I would have to vote for The Corrs unplugged - love it, love it, love it...![]()
It's good isn't it...
The tour they did after that (well after ESP&G) they came out into the middle of the floor audience and did a mini Skin&Bones acoustic set (about 6/7 songs) in the round - about 3 feet in front of me
It was either that or Nirvana MTV Uplugged just because it's such a classic moment, went against everything MTV asked for and usually did on Unplugged gigs - they didn't play their big hits, covered unheard of tracks, brought on non-mainstream guests, and decked the whole stage out like a funeral (very poignant given the last track and the concert's closeness to the demise of Kurt) and was the 1st MTV Unplugged gig to be done in a single take.
Another but not 100% acoustic classic for me is Beth Orton - Central Reservation.

I would say...in no particular order...sticking with purely acoustic guitar albums...
6 and 12 String Guitar (Leo Kottke)
...or something like that...
