Default Songs You Enjoy Just As Much Acoustically

I know that everybody loves the full electric versions of the songs, but what songs do you like as well (or more) acoustically? Disclaimer: I'm not saying that I don't like the electric versions of these songs.

I really dig the acoustic versions of Blood On Blood, Just Older, and Saturday Night. And the acoustic These Days is fantastic. The live acoustic version of Superman Tonight was awesome. Other thoughts?

I prefer the acoustic version of Prayer. The electric version can be a lot of fun live, but I never sit down and listen to it at home. The only one I quite enjoy listening to is the one from Wembley '95.
I agree with you on Superman, don't really like the album version but liked the acoustic version. Blood On Blood can be great acoustically (The one they played at Virgin Megastore in the 90's is amazing.). In These Arms/I'd die for you were great at the These Days tour. Hmmmmm....other than that: maybe Born To Be My Baby.

And Santa Fe in Barcelona was touching, I don't know if I prefer it to the electric version, though. Probably not.

Never really compiled a mental liking to accoustic against electric list, but I really like the accoustic of "never say goodbye" it really gets under my skin and creates emotions more than the electric does.

I HATE acoustic Saturday Night. Electric version is one of my favorite songs ever, but acoustic is just annoying, and powerless.

Acoustic Prayer is fine for me, but it doesnt' touch the electric version.

Something for the Pain is probably my favorite acoustic song by them.

In These Arms is very good, too.

I'd say the song that really stands out as far superior acoustic as compared to electric is Living on a Prayer. I'd Die For You, Born To Be My Baby, and Thank You For Loving Me are other songs that I probably prefer when played in an acoustic format.

I also love the live-acoustic versions of Something to Believe In, Superman Tonight, Santa Fe, These Days, and Someday I'll be Saturday Night, which are all quite distinct to their electric counterparts, but I couldn't say I prefer them to the electric versions.

They've never done an acoustic version that I didn't like just as much or more than the electric version.

The acoustic version of Superman Tonight was very good! I liked a lot!
Then, other ones I like are Just Older (Hamburg 2011 acoustic show!), Wanted from the early days, such as the MTV performance. So powerfull!

^ Yes. Wanted acoustic, when done right, can be mindblowing.

Superman Tonight came off much better acoustic in the live setting. Wish they'd release that someplace.

They weren't full versions, but acoustic Prayer and Wanted were special at the Concert for New York City:
