Need a suggestion

You guys have heard a couple of my uploads. I've ran out of songs :D I'm mostly interested in learning songs where I can play melodies on the guitar while singing. Actually, I know a lot of songs, but most don't incorpoate any lead playing (or, just kinda simple stuff, at best). Here's hoping to get some new ideas, any genre (within reasonable expectation of me being able to accomplish it). Let the suggestions for new songs to learn begin.

A favourite of mine is Jethro Tull's Wond'ring Aloud, it's quite busy, but it's short and sweet. Neil's lesson introduced me to it.

Ness Lol, you funny gurl :D My fingers ain't never danced like yours there at the end. I do like the song, however. :)

Dermot, I've actually been working on that song. Might give it a go, thanks.

Willem, Well, girlfriend tells me that's her favorite, so up to the top of the list it goes!

Daryl, In My Life and Landslide are two great songs. Thanks.

Dean, thanks, I'll look into it.

Well Terry,,I was back on THE lesson and the two years brought me nothing,,well at least on the transitions in the intro on the 12 fret and so on (I don't have a cut/away), so I play in that way the parallel sixts on the intro instead of the parallel seconds..but in the same way/order as the parallel seconds (a whole octave???)

I must say that I asked Neil on that problem with the transitions on the 12 fret and so on, and if he could show the transitions on a guitar without an cut/away...and he did..man I was envious,,,he showed that in a life streaming show we had a few times,,I wish which show it was 'cos its such a long time ago,,,its filmed and hangs a round here in some place..
