Unplugged

Chatting with Leonard, and apparently he (cough cough) doesn't like acoustic guitar ballads (except for "About A Girl." But still). Or she can't find any. And by "acoustic guitar ballads" I mean the type with no electric guitars. And the drums can't be too hard. And no piano. Maybe. Well piano works actually, to an extent. But the acoustic guitar and vocals should be the main focus. I'm generalizing here though. I really don't like classifying things. There are types of acoustic ballads with electric guitar, hard drums, and piano. But I'm talking about the other kind. So here are some good examples of those.

"Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)," Green Day. Just kidding. Way overrated.

"If Only You Were Lonely," The Replacements. Better than anything else Paul has recorded in his solo career.

"Skyway," also by The Replacements. Not as good as the above, but still excellent.

"Polly," Nirvana. Sometimes a broken down cheapo acoustic guitar can sound the best. And there's the part where everything else drops out, and it's just the bass.

"Used To Love Her," Guns N' Roses. Stupid premise, but fun. And good acoustic guitar solo.

"Never Grow Up," Taylor Swift. I like this song. Deal with it.

"Thirteen," Big Star. No explanation needed.

EDIT: Side note, updated my "about" page. I was bored, okay?
