Honestly, if any Nirvana riff belongs in the top 10 acoustic (and that's a stretch) it's All Apologies. It contains a far more iconic guitar hook. LoF is more renowned for Kurt's impassioned vocals. The guitar itself is just rudimentary chord changes.

I have multiple acoustics and my beginner model fender and it plays decent. If you have the money i recommend possibly a taylor or a martin, as they're like the fenders and gibsons of acoustics. If you really want to go all out, try looking for a Takamine. I just love their sound, but every one sound unique in their own way, so i recommend going to a music store and trying them out yourself (once the pandemic things over of course)

To me, most of these are chord progressions, not necessarily “riffs”. An acoustic riff to me involves some melodic line that you don’t get just by playing standard chords. Like the main guitar part in “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman. But nice job regardless.
