    You can't go wrong with Ramones. Learn Blitzkrieg Bop.

    Try any blink182 stuff if your into that NOFX is usually easy enough,
    Other than that Punk rock song by bad religion maybe.

    Longview isn't that hard. Neither is a lot of Rancid once you're fast and half competent. Pixies is really easy, as is Dead Kennedys and Minor Threat. Once you get beyond the whole "four beats of root notes" thing try Bad Religion. Slightly more complex but still handy enough. :)

    As long as you've got a pick and a root note in punk you're alright.
    You're boring as the bejaysus, but you're alright.

    armagedon - alkaline trio
    the decline - nofx
    better off dead - bad religion
    bloody sunday - stiff little fingers
    sick of me - Descendents

    or most things by rancid
