Hey guys, I'm looking to start playing some acoustic nights in the near future. I've got a fair few songs lined up, but i was wondering if any of you could suggest some well known songs I could play, that'd hopefully go down pretty well. Thanks

    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    if you like black sabbath i heard john frusciante do a cover of snowblind on an acoustic. sounded really well but i guess it could of one of those hard to do it live yourself.

    every open mic night or acoustic night has usually the followings songs:

    radiohead - creap
    joy division - love will ter us apart
    goo goo dolls- iris

    i dunno if i did an acoustic night i would try as the crow flies.. originally by i dont know but rory gallagher does a nice version of it

    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
