Some of these were all mentioned above but here are my favs: "Everlong" from Howard Stern, the entire Incubus acoustic performance, "Best of Me" by The Starting Line, "Layla", some Hoobastank song that I cant remember the name of, and that is all I can think of right now.

Layla is a given. I've heard an acoustic version of Black Dog that was pretty sweet.

I love the acoustic version of Plush that Stone Temple Pilots did for MTV's Headbanger's Ball.

wow layla was mentioned because that song kicks ass, how about hotel california? that has got to be one of the best acoustic arrangements of all time. the first time i heard it i learned every guitar part mostly cause nobody around hear wants to play acoustic, they are all about slammin power chords.....when well they ever learn?

My three favorite acoustic versions are:

Layla - Eric Clapton
Hotel California - Gypsy Kings
One - Covered by REM with U2

Layla is classic, for sure.

Plush is also great, whoever mentioned that. Acoustically is about the only way I can take STP.

3 Libras by perfect circle is some good shit.
