I found an old, cheap nylon string guitar, and I was looking for some good songs to whip out.  (keep in mind that I am not a guitar prodigy)Wink
 
I've looked into "A Farewell to Kings" - Rush
                       "Horizon's" - Genesis

Very easy but wonderful: "Is there anybody out there" by Pink Floyd

Not very easy but funny to play: "Mood for a day" by Steve Howe

Kansas's dust in the wind is a nice tune to start learning guitar.
 
not too difficult, and ā nice song.
 
more advanced, Hackett and Howe have made great accoustic guitar tracks.

    Look into Steve Hackett. That should keep you busy for a while (a long while ).

You may be interested in checking out this guy. I've seen him a few times on you tube and I think he's great. HERE is his acoustic rendition of Can-Utility and the coastliners by Genesis. Check out his other Genesis renditions. Enjoy.

 "Horizen" by Genesis
 "Rainbow-The Ressurection" by Orphaned Land
 "The Calm before the Flood" by Orphaned Land
 "Wish you were Here" by Pink Floyd
 "Good-bye Blue Sky" by Pink Floyd
 Most Opeth Tracks have classical guitar bits in them but I suggest "To bid you Farewell" (just the first part before it goes heavy, that bit alone could be an album track, absolutly beautiful, speaking both as a music fan and guitarist who plays both electric and classical/acoustic) from Morningrise.

John Williams, the classical guitarist formed Sky with ex Curved Air player Francis Monkman. Steve Hackett, e.g. the tail end of Racing In A (ex. Please Don't Touch). And on the jazz rock fusion side Ralph Towner uses either classical guitar or 12 string acoustic - showcase for this is his ECM recording Solo Concert.
