Fingerstlye type pieces that everyone knows

Teetonetal

Trying to add to my acoustic repotoire. Been busking a lot lately and noticed my fingerstlye stuff gets better reaction than the strummed stuff.

So what to learn (I sing too)? Suggestions welcome.

Currently playing
The boxer
Road tripping
Angie
Anji
Nothing else matters
Here there and everywhere  (solo arrangement)
Tears in heaven

On the list to learn:
Streets of London
Chet Atkins version of Vincent (Tabbed by Eric Roache in GT years ago, it's fab!)

Any ideas of other songs that are popular and work well with 1 guitar and vocal?

Harry Nilson's - Everybody's talkin
Beatles - Yesterday - Here There n Everywhere - Let it Be and I've seen a few good versions of Eleanor Rigby adapted to work for good buskers

Girl From Ipanema

RandallFlagg

I'm not much cop at finger style as I can't bear to grow my nails and playing with just fingertips doesn't sound very good on acoustic, it's not so bad on electric though.

The few songs I do have a go at are:

Ghosts of Dachau - Style Council

Man In The Iron Mask - Billy Bragg

English Rose - The Jam

Blackbird - Beatles

Funkfingers

Needle Of Death!

Shedloads of Richard Thompson back catalogue.

No, no stairway. I don't really want to sing that.

Hallelujah - the Buckley version.

You can finger Time Of Your Life.

I quite like playing Strong Enough by Sheryl Crow on the acoustic. I don't sing along

I'd quite like to be able to play Wildwood flower but can never get it right so I pack it in. this was after watching Mike Ness and Jonny Two Bags jamming on acoustics.

Love Of My Life
More Than Words

Summer of 69 unplugged
Dust In The Wind

Led Zeppelin- Bron-yr-Aur 

No vocals needed and it'll test your finger style skills!

Ravenous

An old buddy did quite a good folky intro to "Iron Horse", yay Motorhead!  I nearly wet myself when the lyrics started and I realised what it was...

CarpeDiem

Classical Gas - the Tommy Emmanuel version if you're really brave! Tamacun - Rodrigo y Gabriella Heart Of Gold - Neil Young Wonderwall - Oasis Blackbird - The Beatles

DulcetJones

Dust in the Wind - Kansas, Needle and the Damage Done -  Neil Young, Babe I'm Gonna  Leave You - Led Zep.  You can arrange almost any song for solo fingerstyle if you really get into it.  Look up Edgar Cruz, he put out several albums a few years back of all fingerstyle arrangements of popular songs, including Bohemian Rhapsody.
