I personally love acoustic instruments. I agre with Keith Richards when he said "that little hole and that peice of wood, thats truth." however I have a problem. Most contemporary acoustic versions of songs fall into two diffrent catagories, their either overly piney and "woe-is-me" or their happy in that neo-hippie pop-psychology way (like O.A.R.) where they say easy-to-cheer-to things like "can we just come together as people tonight?" or "lets everyone sing along here and jsut feel the enetrgy and feel good."

I hate both of those options.

I wonder where the days of happy acoustics with sing along choruses have gone. Maybe the market trackers say they have no place in 2005 but with all the influenced youngins out there struming strings, where are the CCR wanna-be's that no how to have fun with more story than stupid catch phrases.
