Green Day in the Top 10 I was just thinking of that one as one of my favourite acoustic songs.

I would put Tears In Heaven in the Top 10 too, top 5 maybe.

Lot of good songs on the list but not one single James Taylor or Joni Mitchell tune?...only one CSN tune?...NO Heart???

I am absolutely delighted to see the acoustic Zeppelin love on here. A lot of hard rock lovers easily dismiss those songs because they're not "heavy" enough. Great to see Jimmy's efforts to make the band branch out be noticed. Especially #7. One of their best IMO.

What no ''Embryonic Journey''???

Exactly, man. Couldn't believe it myself. Also, no Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Grateful Dead, Bert Jansch, NICK DRAKE ?? Wow, hard rockers took acoustic guitar for a very first time and recorded a sappy love song and all of a sudden it's an acoustic guitar masterpiece. This list makes me sad even more than any of Rolling Stone's lists. Anyhow, glad to see some Floyd aswell as Albatross and acoustic Zepps but to ignore The Rain Song is inexcusable.

Looks like a good list to strip. Has that been done before?
