Members guildf47 Posted November 9, 2013 Members Share Posted November 9, 2013 I'd have to think on it but I'd likely have half of them Jackson Browne tunes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members liko Posted December 19, 2013 Members Share Posted December 19, 2013 My top one was this: This one's nipping at its heels if it hasn't already surpassed it: (takes a while for the song to get going in the video; definitely worth it)Other acoustic classics of mine:* Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd* Volcano - Damien Rice* Ritual Dance - Michael Hedges (original and as remade by Kaki King)* She Talks to Angels - Black Crowes* Over the Hills - Led Zeppelin* Landslide - Fleetwood Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Michael Martin Posted December 20, 2013 Members Share Posted December 20, 2013 I imagine that you mean songs originally done as essentially solo performances, as opposed to songs by an ensemble. So James Taylor (for example) could belong on this list, but not Led Zeppelin. Even though one of us could do a great solo rendition of a Zep tune (like maybe "Tangerine"). I also assume it's fair game to list a song made famous by a band but also noteworthy as a song done solo by the song's composer (such as Townshend's later solo versions of songs he wrote for The Who) In that case, these are my 10 favorite ones to do in no particular order (which is different from the s/s songs I admire most, since there's many I can't do well enough for public consumption ) The Wild One, Forever (Tom Petty) Wildflowers (Tom Petty) Tuesday's Dead (Cat Stevens) Folsom Pinball Blues (Cash/Townshend) Behind Blue Eyes (Townshend) If You See Her Say Hello (Dylan) Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters (Elton John) Dream (Everlys) River (Joni Mitchell) Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain (as done by Willie Nelson) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
