There have been about three squillion threads that have asked this question. Look around the board a bit, you're sure to find one that suits.
(Or more). If you're just getting into acoustic guitar, start looking more for tunes done by solo-guys instead of bands. They're usually acoustic players, but you'll also often find some good solo acoustic tunes done by bands. The Beatles have a lot (like Norwegian Wood, Yesterday, Michelle, Blackbird, Dear Prudence, If I Fell, Here There and Everywhere, In My Life, etc), the Stones have a few (like No Expectations, Wild Horses, Lady Jane, Playing With Fire, etc, etc. Even Sister Morphine works well on acoustic). Neil Young has some good ones (Needle and the Damage Done, After The Gold Rush, etc). Almost anything James Taylor has ever done. Of course Dylan. Almost all old blues recorded before the fifties. Lots of old time country and folk. The list is pretty endless, in all different styles and genres.
Un-plugged is not the same as
never-was-plugged-in-to-begin-with.

if youre just starting out, and thats what it sounds like to me, Id say start with the stuff you hear on the radio, that is fun to play, will impress a few friends and get your skills goin.
jack johnson is very easy to play and very fun to sing along with. jason mraz is easy too. they mostly strum open chords and youll get a rudimentary knowledge of chord progressions.
after you whet your appetite, then you can move on to eric clapton unplugged, and a few john mayer hits. to work up fingerpicking and have yourself a little appetizer on the blues and bossa nova and stuff.
after youve mastered that stuff you will start getting into blues, and at that point you will choose your own destiny.
as for country, id say no one does it like hank williams sr. johny cash has a few that are some of my faves. ie. folsom prison blues, boy named sue.

Yeah, and learn to spell while you're doing it.
A lot of the Foo Fighters songs translate fairly well to acoustic.
i've been trying for hours, just to think of what exactly to say.
i thought i'd leave you with a letter or a fiery speech,
like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play.

sometimes i like to play country, are there many good ones on here, i have searched for some but they are not updated well?????
Hank Williams (Senior) has quite a few that work well done solo acoustic, like "I Can't Help It If I'm Still In Love With You" or "Tennesse Waltz," "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," etc.
