Time for a cool change. Hey! Thats a cool song too, but not for this weeks playlist. Were doing something we havent done in quite awhile, acoustic tunes! When done right they can be magical. And I've got 4 of them that fit that definition perfectly.
And were staying away from the 80's! So I thought we'd pull another old trick out of the hidden treasures hat and that we've not done in some time.. Were going with the format of 2 old and 2 new tunes.
Think you got 2 old and 2 new acoustic songs that are better than these?

The first three songs were all aces in my book. Nice acoustication throughout, nice vocals, nice everything.
As for Anathema? Weak singer, but the acoustical geetaring was quite nice. They are a bit to angsty for my taste, oh we broke up because I had to let you go. Cry me a river, dammit! Oh, and it doesn't move me in the slightest, but it does make nice background music. Not what they expected, bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!
The first one that comes to mind for me is from 1993, so old I guess. Who's The One by Winger.
I can think of a couple of good old acoustic tunes:
Boogie With Stu - Led Zep
Master Of War - Bob Dylan ( the MASTER of acoustic)
Bad Co - Really cool tune. I've heard it, but I didn't really remember it by name until you played it here. It's definitely fully acoustic, which is totally cool. Why would Niels not like this song?
Tramp - This one's pretty good in spots. I love the wocka wocka guitar. That's not really the acoustic part. I'm still on the fence with this band. I have several albums but I'm finding it somewhat difficult to get past the hits. I know that's hard for some of you big fans to swallow.
Porky - This is a very nice, laid back track, with a lot of electric guitar. Very nice electric guitar I might add. Yep, this song is sweet.
Anathema - There's some nice acoustic guitar. Right out front. I've heard of this band but really know nothing of them. I like this song. I love the way it builds and builds, getting stronger and stronger. Then it quietly fades away. I'm interested in hearing more from this band, I think Sandra would like this as well.
So my ranking would be:
1. Porky
2. Anathema
3. Bad Co.
4. Tramp
But the first 3 are very close together.
Now, for a sidebar...
Here comes Freebird and Stairway To Heaven.........
Cool. So Long Time by Boston would fit. Right?
I'm thinking along the lines of the incredible acoustic riff right before the first chorus. Maybe the second chorus too, I don't think it changes to electric until the third.
First: I'll admit, that I haven't heard the Bad company-somg (yet?), but I don't really care for the BC-stuff I've heard so far. I don't really like Rodgers, I don't know why, obviously he's a good singer, but it must have got something to do with the fact, that I was sooooo dissapionted back in '85, when I got the debut Firm-album, and it was nothing but boring trash. And I don't blame Jimmy Page, one of my all time heroes.
Second: Check one of my NMC's from 2012. I'm sure, you've heard Anathema before, and as far as I remember, you didn't really like it then?!
Third: For me, an acoustic track is pure acoustic, no electric guitars.
Yes, I remember now. It sucks. Just kiddin'. But I see that this song, which I like, was the same song I liked back then...that's what I call consistent.
