Acoustics used with legendary Rock songs

[Zohn]

Do you guys have favourite Acoustic clips in famous rock songs?
I'm thinking of typicals like the intro to "More than a feeling" and "Peace of Mind" - remember those Boston songs?
Or how about the slide-acoustic intro to "Blaze of glory", talking about acoustic slide - Derek Trucks is just awesome.
Another favourite I can think of is Jude Cole's "Heart of Blues", or the outro to Golden Earring's "Vanilla queen".
C'mon, I'd like yo'awl to share with me.

Led Zeppelin's "Goin' to California" is a great acoustic rock song.  Also "Black Mountan Side"

America's "Horse With No Name" is another.   Oh. gee, there's a ton of great acoustic rock songs I could mention.  Some of Heart's songs fall into that category too.  I'll let others post their picks.

The intro to Barracuda by Heart is one of my favorite acoustic clips in all of Rock.  I still remember my reaction the first time I heard it: "What the.... ?  HOW the ....?  Can she DO that????"

Oh yes!! Led ZEP's "Stairway to heaven", "Babe, I'm gonna leave you".
Do you know White Heart's "His heart was always in it"?
How 'bout "If you leave me now"'s terrific 12 string licks...

How about "You've Been A Good Old Wagon" by Dave Van Ronk.

Oh wait...maybe that's not a rock song. Great acoustic guitar song song....

Aren't you thinking of "Crazy on you"?

Dave metioned the WHo's Pinball Wizard, but my all time fav acoustic in a rock song is Magic Bus.

Turn it up and play it loud!

what no Beatles.... come there are really too many to name by them alone... Neil Young, C,S,&N, EL&P...

A lot of early Who songs have acoustic guitar underneath the mix to give them a more spacious feeling.  Have a listen some time; you'll hear it!

My favourite Who song with acoustic is the intro to Behind Blue Eyes.

It's an absolutely beautiful song with great lyrics. I especially love it when the mandolin comes in.

I also dig Battle of Evermore and Gallow's Pole.
