Red At Night is really simple, and it's acoustic anyway. '59 Sound is pretty easy, not too many chords. Great Expectations is pretty easy too, and OWL is the same 4 chords over and over again

Red At Night is the easiest one to sound good. Learn a few open chords and a simple country-ish strum, and you've got a sweet song.

Red at Night has always been hard for me to sing and play, i can never get the timing right. If you want to sing aswell OWL and T'59S are fairly easy.

Yeah, Red has the easiest chord progression but one of their more hairy strumming patterns. My recommend is just what Jukebox said; play with the record (not singing) over and over again. You eventually internalize the rhythm and it becomes part of your muscle memory, separate from your mental vocal rhythm.

Navesink Banks isn't too bad once you get down the F chord. Here's Lookin At You Kid is good on acoustic, but it requires actual fingerplay which is more complicated than strumming so I'd hold off on that one.

Navesink is really easy.

It's Am Am F Am F C G Am over and over again.

Don't worry man, it comes with time. Here're the most common issues I notice when people have trouble with barre chords:

-The barre finger (one laying across multiple strings) should be tilted slightly on edge (roll it to the left a bit)
-Make sure the barre finger is close to the fret
-Tilt the guitar slightly so that the part that meets your leg is further out than the part of the body that meets your chest

I can play an F chord although switching to it sometimes presents a problem...so sometimes I cheat and play FMaj7, which is just 0123xx. It sounds fine in most cases although sometimes it sounds really bad.

Yeah Steven, play the FMag7, it's much easier than playing a F barre chord.
