I want to learn more songs on the acoustic.
Anyone have any good suggestions?
Genre doesn't really matter to me by the way. :D

Goodbye Blue Sky by Pink Floyd has a a rear acoustic intro. Also Enter Sandman by Metallica has a good intro that sounds good on an acoustic. There is Crazy little thing called love by Queen which is mostly acoustic. If you know how to do it correctly you can play Choctaw Bingo by James Mcmurtry on an acoustic 12 string. There's vaseline machine gun by Leo little which is all acoustic. I'm not going to give a list of a hundred songs so those are the few I'll give you
EDIT: you can also do Thick As A Bricks intro its acoustic.

Look up Kris Roe's acoustic songs, he is the singer from the band The Ataris. My favorites of his are This Diary and San Dimas Highschool Football Rulse. Also Mike Herrera. He is probably my favorite artist who does acoustic stuff. Look up drowning and secret weapon. He is the singer of MxPx. Both are punk bands by the way.

Lola, by The Kinks. I don't think it was originally played on an acoustic, but the style suits an acoustic guitar throughout. Other good ones are Sympathy by the Goo Goo Dolls, and pretty much anything by Secondhand Serenade or Dashboard Confessional. Good luck! :)

You might look up some John Prine songs. They can be pretty fun.

Try Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp by Led Zeppelin.

Wish You Were Here- Pink Floyd
Its pretty simple and fun to play, but since its slow it can be kind of hard to keep the tempo.

Thank you for making me smile. This planet just got significantly more tolerable.
Or, unless you're looking for originality, there's always Bob Dylan. Even people who don't like him like people who can play his stuff.
