'damien rice - cannonball' is a good place to start
basically any song can be stripped back to acoustic but some sound a lot better than others
coldplay are great practic (theyre hard!!)
most pop/rock bands with catchy songs you can find on ultimate guitar and copy the tabs of that
john mayers songs will prob teach you new chords and techniques
depends what you like to listen to, i dont really know of many songs that are a huge challenge to learn without going into the lead guitar/riff side of things, maybe try combining lead with rhythm? a riff based around the chord progression that you can play while strumming?
If you take a simple old traditional song like "Wasbash Cannonball" in a G,C,D progression, you'd be amazed what you can do with it .
:D ALRYT IM GONNA DOWNLOAD IT TODAY.....BUT U DIDN'T MENTION THE ARTIST'S NAME.....BRO :D

Most of the lessons written by David Hodge are for acoustic guitar - and there's many more in the Easy Songs forum.

I'm a big fan fan of Neil Young. I suggest a few songs form his Havest album,Old Man,Heart of Gold,and Needle and the Damage Done. To try your luck at finger pcking,Dust in the Wind is a great one to play.There's a lot of songs to play.
+1 to Neil Young songs.
Some other artists known for acoustic guitar are John Denver, Alan Jackson, Simon and Garfunkel.
One more thing to keep in mind. You don't necessarily need an acoustic song. You can play electric guitar songs very well on an acoustic. Sometimes imo, they sound better on it.
Good Luck.
If you're into fingerpicking - e.g. Don't think twice its alright (Dylan)
Lots of Tom Waits stuff sounds good on accoustic too
Beatles of course- eg. Here, there and everywhere; you've got to hide your love away, blackbird ... ... ... ...
And yes - Neil young :-)
Look in the ESD forum - it's right over there :arrow: :)
...only thing I know how to do is to keep on keepin' on...

Since you mentioned blues, check out Clapton's unplugged album. The entire thing really.
