I think it's hard to beat Layla by Eric Clapton.

 

[Archaix]

To stay on the Clapton path...While it was first performed Unplugged, Tears in Heaven is a great depressing as hell song.

I think I prefer the "plugged" version of Layla, though, so I can't really agree.

^^ correct answer. Whoda thunk Nirvana covering Bowie would be that good acoustic?

I was just listening to that CD today. REM did a lot of good stuff on their show too.

 

[dog$]

I have no idea what is...

But Derek & Dominoes Layla > Unplugged Layla.

 

[Flizzzipper]

Alice In Chains - Down In A Hole is great.

Cobains vocals at the end of Where Did You Sleep Last Night are great...those are definatly a couple of my favorites.

By unplugged you mean non electric, or that MTV unplugged thing. The best non-electronic song has to be Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, that song is too awesome. The best MTV unplugged MTV song-thing would be All Apologies.

The Man Who Sold The World

Yep, this was my answer when I saw the thread title.

Despite the ending, i can't believe i didn't know that was a Bowie song until eight years later.

Hmm, what did you think everytime you heard Kurt say "That was a David Bowie song"?

 

[aoi tsuki]

It's just one of those things i guess. Every time i listen to the song and hear him say that, i really have to wonder how many people in the crowd were like me and just completely subconciously glazed over that little tidbit.

I've got this one mp3 of an acoustic version of "Black" by Pearl Jam. It's way better than the studio version but I have no idea where and when it was recorded.

 

[skip]

black was done at pearl jam's unplugged session, and is generally known as one of their best versions of it, so that may be it.

I enjoy LL's unplugged version of Mama Said Knock You Out. The video comes with cake.

I'd have to go with 'The Man Who Sold The World' or 'Where Did You Sleep Last Night'. It's a tough call... though I'd probably give the nod to the latter. The screaming chorus at the end still gives me chills.
