AC/DC has some really easy, awesome sounding riffs. As does Black Sabbath. I suggest that you check both of them out.

smoke on the water is just amazing
try …umm.. Holiday – Scorpions but its not a fast song
Try some AC/DC. I play drums, but the guitar parts sound easy
Fire by Jimi Hendrix
Back In The Saddle by Aerosmith
Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin
Rock N Roll Aint Noise Pollution by AC/DC
You Really Got Me by Van Halen
black sabbath had some pretty good easier stuff…all guitar players should know iron man…
ac/dc is one of my guitar teachers favorite artists to teach…rock and roll(aint noise pollution)…you shook me all night long…
working man by rush…
i started learning parts of sweet home alabama early so i could play it fer the little woman…
one of the first things i ever made myself learn was crazy train by ozzy osbourne…
another was jump in the fire by metallica.
now playing:slow motion slam – infectious grooves
Im going to tell you from experience, when I started playing 4 years ago I tried learning pretty woman by vh, and to play it note for note and effect for effect you have to be pretty good at playing and have alot of time and patience. But you can always use your minfd to improv.
Here are a few pretty easy, heavy songs. Keep on rockin in the free world by neil young, its played in power chords and 3 cowboy chords during the verse. The beginning of all along the watchtower (jimi hendrix version) is easy. Um and one more il suggest is proud mary by ccr. Good luck
hmmm…. songs that are easy to play, by the band that features 1 of the top 5 guitar players in the history of the world…. I don’t think what you’re looking for exists. You might want to start out with some punk, Ramones, Misfits, etc, master those 3 chords then work your way up.
Really Smoke on the Water would be Good. anyone can do that or Iron Man… there real easy
