Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen. I first heard it on done by the Chipmunks when I was 6 on a record called "Chipmunk Punk." I just always loved the mellow D/Dsus4 on the intro.
On a side note, great electric solo in that song too!

I can`t remember any one specific track that ever lead me to acoustic guitar but I do remember hearing Will Ackerman `The Impending Death Of The Virgin Spirit` and how it probably let me be even more introvert in my own playing style.

Flipping through the channels at 2 AM while in High School I stumbled upon Phil Keaggy playing on a youth oriented program on the EWTN Catholic channel called, "Cafe on the Rock".
His playing mesmerized me and then he did "True Believers" with all the loops including his own voice screamed into the sound hole and I was hooked.

It's funny, I didn't fall in love with the acoustic guitar until I had been playing electric for years.
I'd say it was probably hearing django Reinhardt for the first time...it showed me an acoustic guitar wasn't just for strumming open chords and accompanying a voice... it was every bit as versatile, visceral, and capable of leading as an electric. Since then I haven't thought of them as different instruments, just different colors in a palette, both capable of every sound I want.

I used to think the acoustic was just the thing you played when there was no electrical outlet nearby. I was baffled that people would spend more than a couple hundred bucks on one. I think it was probably hearing TE do some tune that changed my outlook. It wasn't really one song in particular. I realized that there was so much more potential with those 6 little strings.

Hard to say it was any one song, though listening to Neil Young one day on the way home from work made me drive to the guitar shop and begin the journey....prior to that, my earliest recollections of wanting to learn and play guitar were when I was listening to Jim Croce, John Denver, and yea, get this: Jethro Tull and of course Neil Young & Stephen Stills. Throw in some Poco, the Velvet Underground, & CCR, and I was hooked..

And somebody else mentioned Buffalo Springfield's Bluebird. Since I was listening mainly to rock then, when the classic rockers brought out the acoustics it was quite a revelation.
