The 5 Greatest Acoustic Songs of All Time
Ahh acoustic music… slow, peaceful, and completely for the weak-hearted. Even us punk fans have a soft spot for a sweet, touching, relaxing arpeggio. So dim the lights, light some candles, and get your MELLOW on!
5: River City Rebels – Stars and Stripes
Acoustic guitars the way I like it. Complete with full blown gang vocals, poignant lyrics, and more drunken rambling than Dublin on St. Patty.
4. Against Me - Baby, I’m An Anarchist!
A beautiful love song between an anarchist and a democrat… complete with strained vocals, screams, and hilarious lyrics.
3. Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution – It’s A Wonderful Life
Ska influenced acoustic, brought to you by Tom, (famous from Catch 22 and Streetlight Manifesto)
2. Call It Arson – Hoopin & Humpin
When I first received this album, between the cover art and the name, I thought it was a Metal-core band. Dead wrong, although they seem to be a bit pushy… I’ll call it whatever the fuck I like thank you very much!
1. Bach – Concerto No.1 BWV 1046 in F Major
Not only is Bach the godfather of punk rock, he is also the godfather of acoustic music. The first 5 seconds of this song makes me feel so fancy, I sometimes give myself fake monocles when listening. This is the fucking jam right here!

I never thought I'd be a fan of acoustic guitar, but the album "Friday Night in San Francisco" and The Cook Trio have conspired to change my mind.
You ladies have an interesting thing going, here. I'll certainly be exploring as I, too, am always on the lookout for new music.
