2007 collection of great acoustic-based Alternative hits by many of the genre's most popular bands. Often times, in order to convey a tender thought, an intense emotion or a darker atmosphere, guitar based acts will lay their shiny and shimmering electric guitars aside in favor of the battered and beaten acoustic guitar. In many situations, that acoustic guitar is the same one used at home to initially create the songs. Includes cuts from KT Tunstall, the Bees, Graham Coxon, Doves, Beth Orton, Supergrass and Radiohead (an acoustic version of 'Fake Plastic Trees'). EMI Gold.
