I like a good acoustic version of a song. And quite often the real genius behind a song is revealed when stripped back to the bone.
On a recent trip to Liverpool I heard a young man busking his heart out to Springsteens "Dancing in the Dark". It stopped me dead in my tracks - as i'd always dismissed this song it as one of his pop anthems. Made my hair stand on end.
So, acoustic versions that are better then the original versions please!

In the vinyl era artists would often do an acoustic version of a song for the "b" side of the record. Temptations Papa was a Rolling stone was my particular favourite.

Just as an aside, I know a few on here will have heard of Andy Gower. For those that haven't Andy is a singer/songwriter who is based in Stoke. He sings about love, loss and the human condition through a pair of Stoke eyeballs. A decent bloke too.

I dont like Bruce ************** but I like that. Prefer loads of acoustic versions but not a massive music listener so cant think of any. I'll stick something up when I do
