I like Opeth's of those three, but Jethro Tull plays some sweet acoustic guitar stuff too.

I'd have to go for Jethro Tull. They incorporate the acoustic guitars into their sound best, and it usually sounds beautiful. Opeth and Yes are close seconds, the latter simply because of the excellent "Mood for a Day."

Ohhhhh! Tough one! I'll have to say Opeth, just listen to Mikael´s playing on the likes of "Face of Melinda". Ian Anderson sure knows his acoustic guitar though, and so does Hackett, but mostly on his solo albums.

You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.

I have always loved the acoustic side of Genesis, using 12-strings guitars (even Tony Banks) as a captivating counterpoint to fiery electric guitar and sumptuous keyboards (especially on Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot), in my opinion Supper's Ready is the best progrock compositions ever made because of the integration of those aforementioned 12-string acoustic guitars  !

Opeth. Mikael and Peter play with such passion, and the acoustic guitar parts are just beautiful. Opeth's chord structures are just great, and their melodies are captivating. Just listen to Damnation.

Genesis--------> Horizons , supper's ready (intro), the Cinema Show (Intro)
but Opeth (Damnation Album), Led Zeppelin (III Album & Brom yr Aur), The Beatles (White Album), King Crimson (ITCOTCK, ITWOP) are very close.....

Genesis and Tull both used acoustic guitar brilliantly, although Genesis integrated it better into their overall sound IMO.
Franco Mussida played some wonderful acoustic guitar with PFM - listen any of the first 3 albums for proof, he probably plays more acoustic than electric.
John Etheridge added some wonderful acoustic parts to Wolf and Soft Machine.
John McLaughlin was utterly spectacular on My Goals Beyond.

Opeth. Some of the acoustic guitar parts are achingly beautiful, others, darker. I always feel Opeth are a band centred around the acoustic guitar parts. They're the bits that have most impact with me, anyway.
