10 Best Songs Where Hard Rock Bands Went Acoustic

Throughout most of Pearl Jam's catalog, there's no way that any other album could compete with Vs. in terms of raw heaviness. While Ten may have been the blockbuster album that launched them to stardom right out of the gate, this might be the closest that they will ever come to making a straight up punk album, with songs like Animal and Blood even verging on metal in some spots. When they do decide to strip everything back on this album though, there's still a lot of heavy subjects to unpack on here.

Almost constructed like a Zeppelin tune, Daughter has a pretty acoustic tune to anchor everything, as you struggle to understand what Eddie Vedder is trying to say other than asking someone to not call him daughter. Much like Jeremy though, this is more of a character study this time around, with Eddie looking in on a girl who has mental problems and her parents just chalking up all of her episodes to bad behavior and wanting nothing to do with her.

While the initial line of 'don't call me daughter' may seem strange, this is the result of the girl breaking down, almost wanting to disown herself from her own family because of how broken she feels living there every single day. If these guys aren't careful, chances are this song might end much like the Ten song Why Go, with the girl finding help but never really finding her way back home.
