Acoustic-alternative songs please! (Radiohead, Coldplay, The Smiths, artists, bands)

kemoryan · 12-23-2007, 06:51 AM

Hey there!
I have a problem and it's that I never usually like an artists as a whole, I end up just having specific songs of many different artists, because those are the songs I like about them, and the rest (which is the majoriy) I don't usually like. I'm saying this because I'd like you to recommend songs and not artists!

Atm, Im looking for rather acoustic - alternartive type songs (but not necessarily). I'm looking for songs not too heavy or charged, but more light and catchy... I better just post some songs similar to what Im searching

Blackstar - Radiohead
Creep - Radiohead
Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead

Other side of the world - KT Tunstall

Walk in the Park - Oh no! Oh my! (and some other of this artist).

Like a stone - Audioslave
Doesn't remind me - Audioslave

Green eyes - Coldplay

Fortunate fool - Jack Johnson (its not acoustic but its a kind I also like).

I'd really appreciate any help

I posted bands because pretty much their whole repetoire is what you are looking for. Ditto crowquill.
