We're Going To Be Friends by The White Stripes
Say it Ain't So by Weezer
Dirty Paws by Of Monsters and Men

What's your skill level and what types of music are you into?

pete and the pirates is a band that has many fun-to-play guitar riffs, check out songs like mr. understanding and half moon street for example.

House of the Rising sun is pretty chill to play on an acoustic guitar. For the electric guitar Iron Maiden's riff in general are awesome (Fear of the dark, afraid to shoot strangers, etc.)

Lemme hijack this thread for a sec. I can play house of the rising sun relatively well of the acoustic guitar, but is it me or is it fucking hard as fuckfuckfuck to sing it at the same time?

I can only play the chords and sing, but when I'm playing an arpeggio (this song or another) I can't sing for shit haha

I'm just starting to learn it, but I can't wait until I'm able to play Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepplin decently.

crazy train - ozzy
thunderstruck -acdc
shoot to thrill (play with your buddy and its the most fun jam of all time each playing gtr 1 and 2)
bark at the moon - ozzy
panama - van halen
my curse - killswitch engage
crazy on you - heart

tune your acoustic to a D chord tuning and just jam til your fingers bleed
swing life away - rise against

that should get you started

All of the pop folk is a blast i.e. mumford, of monsters, head and the heart, vance joy etc.

Dan Croll is a little more complex, very fun to play and sing. He does videos on how to play most of his songs.

black keys licks are a joy.

this should keep you busy for a bit.
