The ones I learned were -

Verve - Lucky Man
Radiohead - Karma Police, Nobody Does it Better (awesome), The bends
Green Day - Time of your Life
Guns n Roses - Knocking on Heavens door
Oasis - Dont Look Back in Anger, Live Forever
Dandy Warhols - Get Off, Bohemian Like You
Eagles - Hotel California

Most of them sound pretty good and are easy. I chose GNR over Bob Dylan as the intro sounds better.

Midnight Express by Nuno Bettencourt/Extreme
Mediterranean Sundance by Al Di Meola is another 5-minuter.

There are some pretty cool acoustic beginner songs there and in the forums there are is a whole forum dedicated to easy songs.

A song I like that isn't there is Something is Sacred by the Eels just because there is a line in it "I wear newspapers for pants and a t-shirt that says damn I'm good". Consists of E, D & A predominantly with C and G in the chorus. Which are the first basic changes and C and G the first annoying one to learn.

I like Birds, Mr E's Beautiful Blues and Dead of Winter are also fun and easy to play. Just google them.
