Topic: good songs to strum?

Ok, ive figured out which songs i like best, songs like Wonderwall and Breakfast at Tiffany's!


Quick chord changes and lots of strumming is the way forward, I still cant play and B chords which kinda holds me back, but can anyone suggest any more songs like these that I could try?

How about Peaceful Easy Feelings by the Eagles? You'll get to use both B and B7.  Good and steady strumming song!

One of my favs for strumming is Memory by Sugar Cult. Nice finger pick in the middle and a good song nonetheless.
