The Boys Of Summer. Dirty Laundry is too electric guitar heavy to be acoustic and ASWTDID is too synth heavy for it to work.
Back to @WalshFan88 - You mention PEF. That's pretty much acoustic already. Speaking just my personal opinion, the songs I'd like to hear acoustic are the ones that have highly electric versions - E.g. OOTN. I'd like to hear them rearranged to be very different.
See I'm just the opposite. I want the heavily-electric stuff to stay that way and only go full acoustic on songs without heavy electric instrumentation to begin with that lend themselves to it. IMO songs like HC, OOTN, etc need electric guitars. It just isn't the same without them and their iconic rock guitar solos. Had I been to an HFO show and they still did the flamenco HC I would have been pissed. They got smart and started doing it electrically again right after that show. That's a rock guitar song, don't care what anyone says LOL. I put it right there with freakin' Eruption as far as being one of the most important moments in rock guitar. Best solo of all time AFAIC.
