For me:

30 Seconds to Mars - The Kill (simple, easy, but fun to play)
30 Seconds to Mars - A beautiful lie (a very easy song but very fun to play)
Radiohead - Creep
U2 - Vertigo

I can play metal, but I choose not to play it exclusively . I find some metal songs easier than some rock songs actually, its quite strange.

I got some more:
"Chasing cars", Snow Patrol
"When the children cry", White Lion (particularly the solo since most of the song is acoustic)
"TNT", AC/DC (damn fun song to play arh!)

 

[sklfc77]

ACDC - Highway to Hell and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap!

 

[Plastic]

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon.
Every song in there is a " must play rock song ".
