Junkie
 
Peter Gabriel - Red Rain (piano/voice)
Tom Waits - Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis (piano/voice)
Tom Waits - New Coat of Paint (piano/voice).

OK, pretty much any Tom Waits song that lends itself to solo piano and voice. Of course, I do them in my own style. That's what makes it fun.

Just a couple favourites; (guitar)

The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin,..well all of Zeppelin
Blackbird - Paul McCartney

Also I usually tend to borrow heavily from Wes Montgomery, Coltrane, Miles Davis as well as Jimi, Eddie and Stevie and all other influences combined. I like playing my own shit too. That's what I play best.

I love playing just about any song from Dave Matthews. Sometimes it's slow going (unusual fingering and all that,) but once you get it....well, go nuts.

I'll second Tears in Heaven, there is a lot of nuance in that song making it difficult to both sing and play, but fantasically satisfying once you do.

I also like...
Where did you sleep last night - Nirvana
Melissa - The Allman Bros.
No Rain - Blind Melon
Day Tripper - The Beatles
Long Black Veil - Johnny Cash
and
Keb Mo's version Robert Johnson's Love in Vain

Coronaboy is right, there are just so many to choose from....

Clapton - Tears In Heaven (Acoustic)
Anything from the Hives (both singing and guitar)
Audioslave/ R.A.T.M. (Just trying to figure out what Tom Morello is doing is half the fun!)
Violent Femmes - Kiss Off (the only song I can both sign and play at the same time. I have horrible coordination )
Queen Liliuokalani - Aloha 'Oe (Ukulele) Who doesn't like the smooth vibes of a good Uke?

Ahh, good thread. After this post, I'm going to look up some of these songs. Nice to diversify myself.

With that in mind... here's something maybe a little different for some of you. One of my favorites on acoustic is this Hawaiian slack key piece. Silky smooth and perfect for winding down with the sunset going down over the ocean from your porch view in the backyard. If that's not your view, it'll still feel that way!

Dennis Kamakahi - Wahine 'Ilikea
