Acoustic guitars were everywhere, from bedrooms to dorm rooms to living rooms. Why? It was unclear. But for whatever reason, the acoustic six-string was enjoying a renaissance, a resurgence. It was a new golden age!<\/p>\n<p>Here below, we wanted to dive into the time period and examine three songs from back in the day that helped the instrument enjoy a new high. Indeed, these are three acoustic <a href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/3-classic-rock-songs-from-the-1990s-that-are-more-like-poetry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">classic rock songs from the 1990s<\/a> you\u2019ll recognize in two seconds. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCrash Into Me\u201d by Dave Matthews Band from \u2018Crash\u2019 (1996)<\/p>\n<p>Certainly, one of the reasons the acoustic guitar enjoyed a resurgence in the 1990s was thanks to Dave Matthews and his band. DMB was one of the most successful acts of the decade, both in the studio and on the road. The jam band is one of the highest-grossing live acts ever and they enjoyed a string of No. 1 albums on the Billboard Top 200. But their best-known song is the acoustic-driven \u201cCrash Into Me\u201d. The loving ode is immediately recognizable thanks to Matthews\u2019 strumming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWonderwall\u201d by Oasis from \u2018(What\u2019s The Story) Morning Glory?\u2019 (1995)<\/p>\n<p>While the British-born band Oasis was known for big songs like \u201cChampagne Supernova\u201d and \u201cDon\u2019t Look Back In Anger\u201d, the group\u2019s best-known track is likely the acoustic-driven 1995 offering, \u201cWonderwall\u201d. The rhythmic track soars thanks to brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher. Indeed, as soon as the acoustic guitar comes on the speakers, the lyrics rush to mind, and you\u2019re ready to belt out with the boys. It\u2019s science.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood Riddance (Time Of Your Life)\u201d by Green Day from \u2018Nimrod\u2019 (1997)<\/p>\n<p>Similar to Oasis, the California-born punk rock band Green Day was known for buzzy songs that make your heart jump. But one of the band\u2019s most popular tunes from the 1990s was the acoustic-driven \u201cGood Riddance (Time Of Your Life)\u201d. The song, which is about living life to the fullest, is thoughtful and at times mournful. It was also ubiquitous in the late 1990s. We all belted along with the band, reflecting on our own lives.
