O.A.R. originally made it on the strength of their live shows and hand-distributed demos so it makes sense that this stripped down, but still polished acoustic reading of "Heaven" has taken off on the Internet. The studio version, still a radio hit across the land, features an '80s style electro-drum sound that falls somewhere between The Killers and Kanye's more extreme efforts. The acoustic version puts the focus on the song's impeccable pop structure and a soaring chorus. -- Nick Dedina
