Since I only play guitar on Rock Band, I can only vouch for guitar (sorry drummers, vocalists, bassists and keyboardist) I'll categorize my favorite by difficulty for guitar. Some of these songs are also from Rock Band and Rock Band 2.
Apprentice:
Rebel Girl by Bikini Kill
Difficulty: 1/5
Supervision Recommended
I believe my punk side is showing on this pick, it's a pretty straight forward song with a lot of chords and a cool little solo. I love to warm up with this song, and I'm not going to lie: I sing along to the song as well.
Day Late, Dollar Short by The Acro-Brats
Difficulty: 1/5
Supervision Recommended
Again my punk side shows, what can I say? It's a great song to sing along to and play with. Some alternate picking is required during the verse, but I'm sure it's nothing you guys can't handle.
I Was Wrong by Social Distortion
Difficulty: 1/5

Another punk song by one of my favorite bands, really fun to play.
MidLife Crisis by Faith No More
Difficulty: 1/5

Ok, so I lied about not vouchering for other instruments, I don't have a mic but I sing along to this song all the time. MidLife Crisis is an amazing song by an amazing band. (This isn't DLC but I really enjoy it)
