Pick 5 of your favorite Rush tunes that feature acoustic guitar played by Alex or Geddy, or both.
 
And Neal, if you can find one!

Rivendell
Closer To The Heart
Panacea
In The Valley
Tears

I know that first pick is gonna be controversial but I like it. And Panacea is my number one here.

EDIT: I know I cheated by picking two from a suite of songs. But what a suite!

hmmmmm, Tears, Closer to the Heart, La Villa Strangiato, The Fountain of Lamneth (including my personal section Panacea), and The Garden; i really can't come up with an official list for this topic, but i agree with these songs being some others' favorite (especially the former for me).
