Clapton caught the "unplugged" trend just at the right time, when the public was hungry to hear how well rock stars and their material can hold up when stripped of elaborate production values.
And there is definitely something to be said for that, because it is much easier to conceal a sloppily-played chord behind an electric guitar's amplified volume or a clever-sounding solo (or behind both) than in the unadulterated sound of an acoustic guitar.
Eric Clapton is such a musician, and some of the songs on the playlist of his "Unplugged" album are such pieces of music.

The band was in what I personally think his best moment, the moment in which they transitioned and started to experiment with new sounds and music for their second album.
The unplugged by itself is enough reason to buy it as the piece of history this document represents for Mexican rock and roll.
I had all the previous CAfe tacuba material, and the Concert one I like it but not that much, but this Unplugged is unique, it really reflects the conection and atmosphere of a intimate concert, you can feel inside this astonishing performance from begining to end, to me it is even too short.

Clapton caught the "unplugged" trend just at the right time, when the public was hungry to hear how well rock stars and their material could hold up when stripped of elaborate production values.
The vast majority of Eric Clapton's recorded and live output has been on electric guitar and, therefore, 'Unplugged' came as something of a surprise and, for me personally, a welcome and refreshing change.
Containing some of the finest music Clapton had recorded for many years, the straighforward "Unplugged" session was freed from the slick pop-production of his 80s albums, alternating between electric songs recast in acoustic arrangements, and classic blues songs by the likes of Robert Johnson and Jesse Fuller.

Alanis Morissette's Unplugged, accordingly, is a mixed bag--there's plenty of dispensable moments, like the warbly dirge of "Joining You", or a singularly pointless "Head Over Feet", almost a carbon copy of the original.
In large measure that has to do with Morissette reigning in her vocal affectations while singing most of these songs, which benefit from being stripped down so that the personal lyrics are emphasized more.
"Alanis Unplugged" has simply become the Alanis Morisette album that I listen to the most because I think it is her best one, even if that opinion has me swimming against the tide.

 Bush Unplugged The True Patriot's Guide to George W. Bush   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Bush Unplugged fights right wing fire with overwhelming force, and lays out the ground attack that the Democrats SHOULD HAVE LEVELED against Bush and Co. leading up to election 2004, as well as a blueprint on how to win in 2006 and beyond.
Now that they’ve won big and are no longer on the defensive, many good conservatives will be more open to learning about that which separates true patriotism and real values from the politics of cronyism, ideology and shameless greed.
"Bush Unplugged takes you on a fast journey through the life of a man who has never faced a challenge his birthright couldn't overcome and whose only talent is being the facilitator for a greedy, ruthless subculture of wealthy and powerful oilmen, chemical and energy giants, multinational "reconstruction" firms and the makers of bombs.

 Jay-Z : Unplugged - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Following the success of Blueprint, Jay-Z took a break from the studio productions of Timbaland and Just Blaze and stepped into acoustic surroundings for a taped edition of MTV's long-running Unplugged series.
With the talents of the Roots as his backing band, Jay-Z fails to miss a step and feels just as comfortable in the unplugged arena as he does with drum machines and a mixing desk in front of him.
The skills of Roots drummer Ahmir Thompson emulate even the slightest nuance from the originally programmed electronic beats, and Jay-Z fails to take this for granted, gently shifting from one song to the next in medley form with ease.
