His are some of the better Byrds covers I've seen and heard on Youtube.

Although not strictly within the parameters of this distorted thread, here are a couple I play with my band on 12 string.

Wish you were here, Pink Floyd
Wonderwall, Oasis (the intro/main progression)
Computer Games, Mi Sex (the synthy parts)
Down to the waterline, Dire Straits (for no other reason than beefing up the rythym sounds)

I have also played "God Save the Queen"...and I ain't talkin' about the British National Anthem either!

Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb and Brain Damage are GREAT on a 12-string!

I'm trying to convince one of the other guys to play the D/A C/G part of CNumb on their 330/12 (I'm not giving the solos up :lol: )

To further mutate the thread;

"Unguarded Moment", by The Church - great crunchy 12 string Rick parts.
