I do think a lot of this stuff sounds the same...I completely understand that there are different tunings and different harmonics but.... I guess it all sounds similar to me because I don't listen to this music a lot except when it pops up on the web in instances like talkbass.
I do love watching the techniques though |

The incomparable Chet Atkins and this more last one
EDIT: Yes, I know the last three aren't acoustic, but I couldn't help myself.

Then as I listened to the song it seemed to me that the song was written as a series of licks and flourishes moreso than a cohesive composition. Plus the constant sound of the open strings ringing started to grate on me.
I love Kottke's overall ideas and compositions and he pulls them off masterfully: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQNCTJ6cUmI
The first song in this clip, I Yell at Traffic, is one of my favorite compositions by him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQKbwLqKEOI

He has a little more diversity in his songs than anyone else playing that style of guitar not to mention hes damn creative with it.
