When I busk with my acoustic I usually play:

Dylan: Knockin On Heavens Door, One More Cup of Coffee
Guns N' Roses: You Aint the First, Patience (which I do a Medley of with Lennon's Imagine), Used To Love Her (which I do a Medley of with Stones' Dead Flowers)
Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here and Mother

Almost everything from Simon & Garfunkel. Can't say I love their music but I like to play their songs.
And, of course, Blowing in the Window... the first music I ever learned to play :)

Some of my favourites:

CCR - Bad Moon Rising
Rolling Stones - Angie
Hoodoo Gurus - What's My Scene
Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over
Led Zeppelin - Gallows Pole

I even like Twist and Shout if there are a few friends who'll sing along...

I love to play the house of the rising sun. The basic chords are relatively easy to play. If you go into the picking part it will take some practice but still an awesome song to get completely taken over in.

one that I've learned recently that is quite easy is Hey there Delilah. Only takes a couple of chords and about 10 minutes to learn.

I've got a little folder I carry around with me with guitar tabs I downloaded from the net printed out and pasted in it. Handy enough to break out and lay on the table. Eagles, Dylan, and America, baby! :)
