Not entirely sure if it's what you're looking for but look up Radioheads creep by Homeless Mustard on YouTube.

Brings me to tears every time I hear it! Absolutely amazing, raw acoustic that gets you right in the feels💗

There is a song by The Villagers called Nothing Arrived. There are a number of versions of it but this is my favourite by far.

Hope the link works, enjoy

Fall Out Boy acoustics are good: Nobody puts baby in the corner and Uma Thurman

Miles Cyrus: Jolene unplugged is by far the best cover of that song.

Plus on lots of people's lists Artic Monkeys: Love Machine. They clearly had loads of fun recording that!!

Some great suggestions.

Corey Taylor has a YouTube video of a live acoustic show in London a few years ago. It's mega!

Also for a bit of fun look up the Lounge Kittens, cover all sorts from Metallica to bob the builder lol.

I may of dreamt it, but I'm sure I was blown away by Rick Astley doing an acoustic version of Everlong by the Foos as well.

Will pop back later to see what else has been suggested!
