Best acoustic songs that no-one knows about?

Here is a challenge to all you acoustic lovers: what are the best acoustic songs that no-one but you know about? The kind of thing you throw into a conversation, after which everyone does that kind of scrunchy lip-thing as if to say, "no, no, only you know that one..."

I'll start.

1) 30 Odd Foot of Grunts - "Sail Those Same Oceans"
2) David Ford - "I Don't Care What You Call Me"
3) Robert Downey, jr - "Snakes"
4) Tabitha's Secret - "Dear Joan"

Go on, amuse me!

"God Loves America" by Swans is one of most bitter, angry songs I've ever heard in my life but also a fantastic acoustic song that I don't think too many people are familiar with.

partially agree, i like his playing more when he doesn't rely on drowning it in effects, it has a more jazzy feel and i think that's something he should utilize more.


by the way, is that on any album?



what, the stuff in the beginning or the little licks he does in the song?
