give me some input...
what do you play (acoustic/electric, genres, etc)?
what are you looking for? crowd pleasers, technique/rhythm complexity, catchy songs, original work, something to sing along to, anything that is out of the ordinary?

alright...i will try my best to categorize some songs as to what aspects may appeal to you:
catchy/sing-a-long/fun
"Taylor" by Jack Johnson. Great intro, cool song to play...certainly gets the ladies.
"Interstate Love Song" by the Stone Temple Pilots. Great chords, very catchy, another lady thriller. Very jazzy chords in a chromatic progression, which gives me a hard-on...chromatic progressions are where its at.
"Original Spies" by Karate. Another chromatic progression, a little tricky to sing along with, but an amazing track for sure.
"Echo" by Incubus. Great sounding riff, and surprisingly simple once you get the slides down. Fuck you indie elitists, Mike's a great guitarist.
finger picking for acoustic
"Benighted" and "Face of Melinda" by Opeth. I cannot push these guys enough. The fingerpicking on these songs will surely push your playing in one manner or another. Great melody, please check these songs out.
hmm...what can i say, i write a lot of fingerpicking songs, but often lack the attention span to learn many unless they truly grasp me. Just check into Opeth for your own sake.
The best advice, though, is look into something completely alien to you. If you have never touched on jazz, I don't give a fuck if you like it at all or not, your technique and approach to melody/harmony will only benefit from some basic jazz study. Classical is another genre that will certainly push your abilities. Also, especially since you find modern guitar to be drab, look for influences on guitar from other types of musicians. Pat Metheny is a badass and he learned jazz from a xylophonist. Sure, Omar can be influenced by a pianist, but the "abstracity" (I swear that's a word...right guys?) dulls in comparison to xylophone...i still don't really grasp that one.
anyways, don't listen to me, i am just a beginner myself. don't give up, there is ALWAYS something more out there.
