It's possible to render a recognisable version of almost any song on a solo guitar (depending on your chops - which is where I come short). My suggestion would be to draw up a repertoire for yourself, based purely on what you would like to perform, then see how well they can be made to work as solo performance.

Play what you like.
For the acoustic cover sets I've done (2-3 piece though, not solo) , we basically did rock and alternative, and even pop songs, most of which weren't originally acoustic arrangements. Soundgarden, Skunk Anansie, Pearl Jam, Queens of the Stone Age, CSNY, PJ Harvey. Even Coldplay ???. Some of them were left close to the original (well as close as I could play them) but it was fun to rearrange others (how well they actually turned out is a different story, but it's fun).
You'll be singing, so choose songs that you're comfortable delivering. Or rearrange them to suit.
