What is a cool but challenging song to learn to play on the acoustic guitar?

I've been playing guitar for about 5 years, i was looking for some cool songs to play on the acoustic guitar that are challenging, because i want to get better. I like fingerstyle, I've already learned things like stairway to heaven, dust in the wind, and wanted dead or alive. I like music like the foo fighters, jack johnson, john mayer, and dallas green. Thanks for your suggestions...|||I Need Something - Newton Faulkner (the intro is pretty cool)


Lipstick Jungle - Newton Faulkner


Let it Die - Foo Fighters


Neon - John Mayer


Pinball Wizard - The Who
