Two-Headed Boy-Neutral Milk Hotel
Paranoid Android-Radiohead
One-U2
Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay-Otis Redding
In My Life-The Beatles

Born To Run-Bruce Springsteen
Imagine-John Lennon
Good Vibrations-The Beach Boys
There Is A Light That Never Goes Out-The Smiths
A Day In The Life-The Beatles
My Generation-The Who
Hey Jude-The Beatles
Yesterday-The Beatles
Blowin' In The Wind-Bob Dylan
Times They Are-A Changin'-Bob Dylan
Tangled Up In Blue-Bob Dylan
God Save The Queen-The Sex Pistols
Anarchy In The UK-The Sex Pistols
What's Going On-Marvin Gaye
Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, whatever your favorite Elvis song is...
...ok I'm good for now. All of the above warrant serious consideration.
Good picks though!

Those are just a couple more.
