I don't really have many under my belt, and when i try to think of things that'll sound good on one guitar my mind goes blank.
What are your favorites ?. Any recommendations appreciated, thank you !..

hmm..
do you like Blind Melon? they have a lot of really great, simple songs. Walk, Mouthful of Cavaties, Hell, Life aint so shitty...
lots of Bob Marley songs, probably any song you could name..
Bob Dylan Don't think twice it's alright (extremely fun to play) Subterranean Homesick Blues Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat
The Beatles The entire White Album!!
Jimi Hendrix (i know what you're thinking.. but there are a few that aren't impossible for normal human beings to play ) Hey Joe Manic Depression (super fun)
my mind kinda went blank too... 
I rarely play songs that aren't something I've made up

Thanks, i'll check those out. I don't think i know Blind Melon, my depth of music knowledge isn't all it should be considering i play regularly,, .
I'm in the UK as well, a lot of American music isn't that well known over here so it's nice to hear suggestions for things that i might otherwise miss.
And i love playing the fun stuff !

I just learned Alexi Murdoch's "Orange Sky" I don't usually play covers, but it feels great to play that one...

I found a decent guitar pro tab for 'Don't think twice it's alright'. It's picking but that's not a problem. I spend more time picking generally than i do strumming, and that's the type of song i enjoy learning,, Doesn't look too difficult either,,

There's no quick fix tab for this,, . I found a torrent with it though so i'll listen when it's finished,, thanks man,,

You won't need tab for that one, it's just two chords. 
Lucky Man by The Verve is a great strumming tune...

glad to see you found a nice Dylan tab! check out this site for loads more. Dylan Chords
Blind Melon is one of the most underrated bands out of the 90's, in my opinion. Nico and Soup are two of my favorite albums of all times. amazing, amazing, band.

The Beatles can fulfill all your strumming needs! I'm playing "I'm Only Sleeping" these days.
