You should definitely check out some songs by Damien Rice, particularly "Cannonball". "Amie" is good too. A warning though. His songs can get pretty depressing. Also, "Wait" by Get Set Go has a good sound to it.

Some other artists who like the acoustic guitar, and some of their songs where the acoustic guitar is the dominant instrument:

Rocky Votolato (try "White Daisy Passing")

Joe Purdy ("Make It Up")

Josh Ritter ("Come and Find Me")

The Beautiful Girls ("La Mar," and "Freedom," feat. Mason Jennings)

Death Cab for Cutie ("I Will Follow You Into the Dark")

Charles Costa ("When the City Comes")

The Decemberists ("Red Right Ankle," "Gymnast, High Above the Ground")

Elliott Smith ("Angeles")

Green Day ("Wake Me Up When September Ends)

Goo Goo Dolls ("Acoustic #3)

Howie Day ("She Says," "Collide")

Jack Johnson ("Breakdown")

James Taylor ("Fire and Rain")

Jose Ganzales ("Heartbeats," "Broken Arrows")

Nick Drake ("From the Morning")

Oasis ("Wonderwall")

Rogue Wave ("California," "Eyes")

Sufjan Stenves ("Casimir Pulaski Day")

The Weepies ("Gotta Have You," "World Spins Madly On")

Yellowcard ("One Year, Six Months")

Hope these are helpful :)

a time for yohe its the best

Answer 9

Just about any song by the folk rock duo Simon & Garfunkel!  Don't let the age of the songs fool you, they were writing licks that inspired bands like Nirvana 30 years before they were due.  Brilliant songwriters.  Paul Simon especially.
