Guitar World's 50 classic acoustic rock songs

[TonyT]

Since Elvis Presley is dubbed the King of Rock n' Roll and he played acoustic guitar when he played an instrument, one would conclude that he would make the list.

Maybe I am showing my age, but who the hell is America? :shock:

Dear Ridge,
For shame.

Which part? Not knowing who America is or thinking Elvis should have gotten a nod?

ELP- 'From the Beginning', Led Zep- 'Hey Lady', Jethro Tull- 'Thick as a Brick'

One more.... any acoustic tune off of Yes' 'Close to the Edge'

Where the hell's Joni ?? :evil: :evil:

The Circle Game and Clouds, just for starters !!

You won't find a bigger Joni fan than I, but.... I don't think those songs qualify as ROCK, do they? I'm not sure what they qualify as...

I'm with Thunderface on this one..... they do spark some discussion and opinions, which are good usually.....

Who in the world are the 'Violent Femmes'?

Who in the world are the 'Violent Femmes'?

A pretty recent band, 1st album came out about 1981 or so... . Discovered by James Honeyman-Scott (or Chrissie Hynde, depending on the source) busking outside a Pretenders gig in their hometown of Milwaukee. Loved their first album.

Joni and "rock". Sorry coastie, but I don't think so. We'd be in violent agreement if it was a list of "best songs performed predominately on acoustic guitar" but that's not what this list is.
