Usually I lurk and answer questions, but I now I got one of my own. A few friends and I are going to put together a cover show. The plan now is a 5 piece band: singer, 2 guitars, bass, drums. We're looking for songs that everybody in the crowd will know that have 2 very distinctive guitar voices. Difficulty is not a concern, we'll try anything. Here's the list I came up with already -- some of these we'll be adapting to a rock setting, so just imagine one of the guitars picking up the synth part, etc.

order of difficulty (ie. learn the easy ones first)

Better Than Ezra is my favorite off your list. There is a great acoustic version of that out there that my brother gave me.

John Mayer has some great guitar songs.

Goo Goo Dolls have some cool guitar songs but some alternative tunings.

Matchbox 20 would be another band I would cover if I was a guy.

But I'm not, so I'm only suggesting what some of us chicks want to hear.

Pixies - pretty much anything
Radiohead - Creep, Lucky, Palo Alto, You, Anyone Can Play Guitar
Blur - Song 2
Interpol - pretty much anything
At the Drive-In - One Armed Scissor
Hot Hot Heat - Dance With Me
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

Yeah I did mean songs with 2 guitar parts. (Oops!)

Thanks for all the suggestions, people!

If you're serious about then may I suggest a few twin-guitar monsterpieces:

from Derek And The Dominoes: "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" Bell Bottom Blues I Looked Away Anyday

from The Allman Brothers Band: Eat A Peach Blue Sky

from Television: Marquee Moon See No Evil

from The Beatles:
And Your Bird Can Sing

Thanks for the question.
I hope you get a lot more answers.

Good luck.
Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility. In the final analysis, the one quality that all successful people have is the ability to take on responsibility.
