I'm looking to learn to play a few songs on guitar, but I'm not sure what. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm more into hard rock and metal, but I'll listen to almost everything.

I tried that a while back and I remember it being pretty difficult, but I'll try it again. Maybe this time I'll actually finish it.

I like playing punk rock songs on guitar. its normally only 2 or 3 power chords and you play really fast. Its great stress relief too until you break a string lol

The main bits are pretty straight forward and sound really good.. Usually give you loads of ideas to go off on a tangent as well.. Nothing but good fun. As it is quite bluesy, the lead bits can be quite fun to work out too

Depends on your level of playing ability, if you are just starting out try Paranoid from Black Sabbath, Black Sabbath is another song to try.

It depends on your playing level. If you just started, Nirvana is always pretty straight forward and so is alice in chains or some of soundgardens stuff but I second black sabbath . Thats like a right of passage for rock and metal players!

If you have been playing for awhile, There are some pretty straight forward Metallica songs that you could try like for whom the bell tolls or seek and destroy. Slither from Velvet Revolver is pretty straight forward as well. It really depends on what you want to tackle. choosing songs that are a little beyond your playing level will help you grow and expose you to new things on the guitar.

oooo I almost forgot slaphead , Panama from Van Halen is a little more advance and so is crazy train from Ozzy but they will get you thinking about your fret board!

For whom the bell tolls by Metallica isn't that complicated

Or check Ultimate Guitar Tabs always good for finding songs

The solo's are more intricate but the rythem once you start looking at it, is really straight forward.

I love that song. I learned that one a while back, it's just too amazing not to know.
