Secondhand Serenade seems to be a more popular group lately. Plus their music is quite simple to play.

the song “come around” by sing it loud is GREAT.
I’m not sure if that is the style that you’re into, but just an idea. Or by dashboard confessional’s “hands down.”
If you need more ideas, many indie/rock/alternative songs come in “acoustic” versions.
good luck, I wish i could play guitar well !

- G’N'R – Patience or Sweet Child of Mine
- Pearl Jam – Elderly Woman Behind the Coutner in a small town
- Some Verve stuff
- Some Nirvana stuff
- Also I have been playing around with the new Kings of Leon one, Sex on Fire
