Good Acoustic Guitar Songs For Men

[Scarlett]

I'm trying to think of some nice acoustic guitar songs for my friend to busk with- things like Del Amitri Nothing Ever Happens, rather than the standard Stand By Me. Can you think of any acoustic guitar bands who did lovely songs from 80s onwards? Thanks

You can turn anything into an acoustic version.

The River by Bruce Springsteen.
Jessie by Joshua Cadeson(sp).
Take it on the run by REO Speedwagon
Won't get fooled again by The Who (ok, that's 70s)

Why does it always rain on me (Travis) There are probably other Travis songs that would suit.

Wildwood - Paul Weller

If you are after inspiration .. there can be no better than the best street entertainers on the planet ... The Playing For Change Movement .. it is a registered charity and I must warn you it is very addictive. Once you start watching you will probably subscribe and be watching for years come.

This is the video in steg's link - not too sure if it's meant to be a full album or just one song.
