Jam and Gig Songs For Intermediate/Beginner Band

[reggaejunkie001]

Okay, so Friday was my band's third jam together. We are a decent group with two guitarists, a bassist, and a drummer. I am one of the guitarists and depending on the song I play both rhythm and lead. For the last few jams we have just done improvisation stuff and our last jam was promoting a new invention by a friend of mine called Acoustic Lights, or lights for your drum set that light up on the strike of toms, snare, and cymbals.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Afe9omIef8 <- First completely improvised take of the video there for anyone interested. I am on rhythm, bassist switched to guitar as an experiment, and the other guitarist is playing bass.
Well, the reason why I am posting this thread is because I would like to hear everyone's input on what are some good, catchy songs to cover for practice and/or live gigs. The genres we are interested in include funk, improvised blues, a small sample of current rock music, jazz, ska, a small sample of country, and older rock & roll. Suggestions please!
P.S. Suggestions with two guitar parts would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Jake, thanks a lot for the reply. I will check out those songs with my buds.

watch out covering some of those songs live...if people dont like the cover, most will automatically hate you (as in yourband).
