Spock's Beard have some pretty wonderful moments acoustically, like in The Doorway, Goodbye to Yesterday, Thoughts Pt. 2, The Great Nothing and the ending to Bottom Line.

Le Orme's "Florian", "Calipso" and "Fine di un viaggio" (all from the acoustic album "Florian", 1979). They are really outstanding.
The short "Angel of the Air pt 1" by Popol Vuh is really enchanting.
"Vent'anni" from New Troll's "Concerto Grosso n. 2" is also remarkable (it's got beautiful vocal harmonies).
And why not mentioning "Bertie" and the piano driven "A Coral Room" from Kate Bush's last effort?

Take A Pebble - ELP, is still by far my favourite ever purely acoustic (not sure if the water-drop effects count) song. Steve Howe's Mood For A Day is absolutely essential. Perhaps King Crimson's Lady Of The Dancing Water should be on here. I'm quite fond of Delitae Musicae (Focus). I love the opener to TAAB.
I'm backing Cheap Day Return, Wish You Were here and Wond'ring Aloud.
I'm opposing Mother (dull and irritating), Slipstream and Pigs On The Wing (not what I'd call great, though nice in the context of the album) and I'm not too enthralled with the other Floyd acoustic pieces, though they're OK.
Edit: stupid comment removed, Orb's literacy levels are being called into question.

Harmonium's debut is entirely acoustic, but the first and last songs are far superior to the rest.

For sure those ones, also maybe add Slipstream. For a different genre, Opeth has a lot of great ones. The best of which being Harlequin Forest, but like I said, they have many (their entire Damnation album could be considered for best Acoustic songs). Edit: Oops, forgot to mention Trains by Porcupine Tree.

I thought Green Carnation - The Acoustic Verses had some great acoustic work. Perfectly composed album.

I am trying to compile a list of the best acoustic passages that progressive music has to offer. All I need is a list. Indeed there are many, but I only require several...of the best. Thanks, I appreciate it.
