Best 100 unplugged releases

Unplugged music refers to live performances or recordings where artists play acoustic instruments without any electronic amplification or effects. This term became popular in the early 1990s, when MTV launched a series of "MTV Unplugged" concerts featuring well-known artists playing acoustic versions of their hits. Unplugged music is often characterized by its stripped-down sound, with an emphasis on vocals and acoustic instruments such as guitars, pianos, and percussion. The unplugged style has been used by artists across many genres, including rock, pop, blues, and folk.
