These are the songs I have recorded backing tracks for. The list of songs I can play acoustic versions of includes most of these and a couple of hundred more.

Decent pop music? Pop music is about melodies, not technique. It doesn't matter how fast your fingers are moving, it matters where they're going. Pop music is a devalued term, but for me, the Clash, the Killers, Radiohead and Crowded House are just as pop as Abba. Which is why I play songs from them all.
