Topic: Good songs to learn on a 12-string electric?

Hey, I know there's been different threads on songs for a 12-string acoustic, but does anyone have anything to recommend for a 12-string electric? Pretty much anything with string bends more than 1/2 step are out of the question, though I do play some songs like this just by playing normally up two or three frets.  Some cool solos that aren't ridiculously fast would be appreciated.

Try a Hendrix song sounds great. Or try a clapton song they sound great also.

Hey, thanks, I'm learning a bit of Hendrix like Hey Joe and All Along the Watchtower, and I'd like to learn some more Clapton besides Layla on the electric.
