Things to avoidwould be things that everyone else plays when they pick up a guitar. No Stairway, no Simon & Garfunkel, no Beatles... you get the drift.
I used to do coffeehouses periodically and found that the more obscure stuff was what caught at people. "Mr. Soul" by Neil Young, done as he did it on his Unplugged performance, would definitely get attention. Clapton did "San Francisco Bay Blues" on his Unplugged performance, and that's also very easy to do. If you can finger pick, "Landslide" is a good one to catch the attention of women. So is "Wonderful Tonight".
...shit, maybe I should get practicing and start busking downtown in the evenings myself.
