Go for some Cat Stevens. Excellent acoustics in his songs. Try 'Wild World' or 'Where Do The Children Play?'.

Damien rice, Ani Difranco, Hayden Dresser?

Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her.

If it doesn't matter if it's newer music or not, try some 3 Doors Down stuff or Green Day.

Jack Johnson is good. John Mayer is nice. and I'd suggest some Dave Matthews that was on the Some Devil CD, so you'd look under Matthews, Dave, no the Dave Matthews Band.

My two cents...wait...

Hey man, try a few of the simpler Foo Fighters tracks. Times Like These is on my soundclick (link below) so check that out and let me know what you think. Its pretty simple man so you should be able to nail it.

Jack Johnson is amazing as already mentioned and if you struggle to play some of his tracks, leave the picking stylee and just use the base chord with the odd pick. It still sounds great on many of his tracks!!!

Good luck!!!
