Default Beginner Picking Songs

I play an acoustic with a pick and am looking to work on my picking.

Can y'all suggests some great songs that I can work on my picking?

I like classic rock, 80s, 90s "alternative", modern rock.

I've already done Wish You Were Here. Been working on Wanted, Dead or Alive (slowly). All Apologies sounds like a good option.

Any suggestions from the above genera would be greatly appreciated!

This is great because you can strum it, finger pick it, or begin the rhythm strumming, start a loop, strap on the strat and take the lead on. Requires a bit of dexterity.

Some great songs and good exercises...

Needle and the Damage Done - Neil Young
Bron Y Aur - Led Zeppelin
The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin
Dust in the Wind - Kansas
Is There Anybody Out There - Pink Floyd
Goodbye Blue Skies - Pink Floyd
House of the Rising Sun - The Animals

EDIT: Shoot, I somehow read your post as you're wanting FINGER picking songs. Well, you just might enjoy these anyway :-)
