You mention that a song had only two barre chords, but of course any C, A, G, D - almost whatever chords you wouldn't normally play as barre chords are also playable as barre chords if you want the practice.

Aye, but I find the open chords to sound better than their barre versions. Could be because I'm used to it, don't know. But as you said, it's great practice.

Boys Don't Cry and Hotel California is pretty good to practice on, thanks. It's a bit of a struggle in the beginning, but I have the feeling I could get the hang of it within a few days/weeks.

I could try out Green Day and Blink-182, but I prefer to play music that I actually like

If the parts where you have to play individual notes (in Hotel California) are hard, you can just pick any not within the chord and it should pretty much sound okay. For the beginning, he just holds down the Bm chord and picks notes in the chord. If playing the same exact notes seems to get in the way of practicing the barre chords, you can always do this.

Also, Open vs. barre depends on the song. Sometimes barre will sound better and other times open will sound better.

Playing the triad is always nice also. They sound full but dont get muddy and are much easier on your fingers.
