- doshindude, on 01/08/2008, -3/+25Needs some Weird Al.
- homestar14, on 01/08/2008, -0/+17500 by Internal Server Error is one of my favorites.
- 10001110101, on 01/08/2008, -3/+18Any Clutch song. Any Pearl Jam song. More Soundgarden. More RHCP. Kyuss. Tool (damn, that would be insane).
- JDoggqx, on 01/08/2008, -2/+15The set lists seem to be a little heavy on male vocals. There have been several girls I've played the game with that have made that complaint or wished for more female tracks.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -2/+13I'd buy Rock Band if they put Lateralus on it. The whole album.
- FishHammer, on 01/08/2008, -0/+11who cares what songs he think should be in it? It's not like they're going to release a Rock Band: Charlie Ecenbarger Edition
- cheeseron, on 01/08/2008, -3/+14BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY is the song this game needs!
- nnscott, on 01/08/2008, -2/+9"Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood" would be a great add. It would be fun on the drums and the mic.
- cbrunet, on 01/08/2008, -2/+9Still no love for AC/DC. What's the deal? I myself wouldn't mind seeing some Minus the Bear though, they would be a great addition to Rock Band. A great package.
- Ndiggnation, on 01/08/2008, -0/+6"Everyones playing it, and if you aren't. I don't know what to say." I'm not. I had a bad breakup, and have simply waited for an Air Supply version that I can play alone, while drinking myself to sleep. :)
- kingofthisnight, on 01/08/2008, -2/+8I would love to see a track pack from Clutch and Minus the Bear.
- mr.hostility, on 01/08/2008, -0/+6It's criminal Pink Floyd wasn't included in the game. I guess it comes down to getting rights for the songs. It's a shame as they pretty optimize the meaning of Rock Band.
- RaggTopp, on 01/08/2008, -0/+5Ok how about this....since rockband lets you play BASS and DRUMS..........why not some Primus...you know for the INSANE difficulty level.
- Duilen, on 01/08/2008, -3/+8I absolutely agree with 99 Red Balloons. Nice list.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -0/+5Who cares, I'd play that song for the drum parts.
- Unclekoolaid, on 01/08/2008, -1/+5The entire Pearl Jam library
- thejwac, on 01/08/2008, -4/+8Hows about Radar Love by Golden Earring
- krostenvharles, on 01/08/2008, -2/+6Great list. What about more classic rock? I think Rock Band has a good selection of classic bands already, but what about some Led Zepplin (NOT Stairway), Doors, Beatles, or Cream? I think I'd add White Room and Sunshine of Your Love to the list.
- Erukian, on 01/08/2008, -0/+4Journey - Don't stop believing. Family guy version.
- inactive, on 01/08/2008, -1/+5This guy has a horrible taste in music (excusing Primus of course)
- Synthesize, on 01/08/2008, -1/+4Haha, you think Tool would allow that? I wouldn't want to see that anyways. Can you imagine all these kids singing The Grudge?
- kevyn, on 01/08/2008, -1/+4lame. seriously, how can you pick a song by Serj "i used to be in a great band but now im rubbish" Tankian and miss out sooo many classics!
my advise: go buy some cheesy CD like 'greatest air guitar songs' or 'best of rock anthems' and put those chedder classics into rock band.
if your not man enough to do that, then by all means include some modern day classics? - lamarkarmor, on 01/08/2008, -1/+4mirror: http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:CdRB4-gV2MQJ: ...
- phronko, on 01/08/2008, -0/+3Yeah, because GOOD musicians don't want people enjoying their music to its full extent. GOOD musicians want people listening to the CD alone in their bedroom.
- cbrunet, on 01/08/2008, -1/+4More? How about any....
- phronko, on 01/08/2008, -0/+3I think it'd be pretty much impossible to separate the song into 5 different tracks (4 instruments and the rest) with just the mp3 or CD to work from. Maybe it could create a note chart to play along with the song, but playing along with it is not the same as playing it. Playing the instrument has to feel like it's making the sounds come out of the speakers to really be effective.
- Mullinsmcd, on 01/08/2008, -0/+3There are so many classic GH2 tracks that they should really convert over to Rock Band. "Sweet child of mine" and "Carry on my Wayward Son" are easy choices and for me they would only enhance the experience being able to play it on all 4 intruments.
- RaggTopp, on 01/08/2008, -2/+5I know several women that do just FINE singing the male vocal songs. It's checking for pitch NOT tone. Whether you're a man or a woman shouldn't have any bearing on whether or not you can stay in pitch.
A woman I know, who isn't a professional vocalist in any fashion, can easily get 99% on HARD with any song she knows already, both male and female vocals.
Basically, the girls you played with CAN'T sing and are trying to make excuses for it. - wc3452, on 01/08/2008, -3/+6Raffi? Baby Beluga? Banana phone? Anyone?
- ncapone, on 01/08/2008, -0/+3So would hitting the reply button.
- JDoggqx, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2Actually they can sing the male songs just fine. They just wish there were more female vocals for them to enjoy. Besides when you are luring non-gamer women into playing video games, the lower barrier to entry is through songs sung by women that they know and love.
- fzammetti, on 01/08/2008, -1/+3Just to name a few must-have's:
Dream Theater - Pull Me Under, Metropolis, Forsaken
Queensryche - I Don't Believe In Love, Empire, Eyes Of A Stranger
Pink Floyd - Time, On The Turning Away
Fates Warning - Another Perfect Day
Enchant - What To Say/Know That, My Enemy
Billy Joel - Big Shot, A Matter Of Trust
Journey - Wheel In The Sky, Separate Ways
Jonathan Coulton - Code Monkey
Damn Yankees - High Enough
DragonForce - Dawn Over A New World
REO Speedwagon - Take It on The Run
Savatage - Edge Of Thorns
Shadow Gallery - Room V, The Andromeda Strain, Rain
Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger
Dennis Leary - ***** (no drums as I recall, but I'm sure some simplistic beats could be added)
(generically, ANYTHING from Dream Theater, Queensryche or Shadow Gallery... then again, I'm not sure I'd want to hear myself, my family or any of my friends try to singe LaBrie, Tate or Baker vocals!) - woohhaa, on 01/08/2008, -1/+3I say it could use a healthy dose of Alice in Chains.
- jaredvolkl, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2Make it Goldfinger's cover and I'm sold.
- l0k0, on 01/08/2008, -1/+3Still Alive from Portal! That'll be interesting, but I really wish Tool songs were in Guitar Hero (without modding my console). I don't think they've ever licensed their music to movies or games, ever.
- UncleHenry, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2Hardware Store = insta-classic
- inactive, on 01/08/2008, -2/+4I agree with more AC/DC, how can you go wrong with that? Or how about twisted sister
- ideameansfly, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2I'd like to give Meshuggah - Spasm a try ;D
- 1773nium, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2Agreed.
- hollismb, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2Those are pretty hard to get Licenses for, it would seem. My understanding is the Zepplin pretty much won't license anything. And doesn't Micheal Jackson own a large amount of the Beatles songs?
- barnett25, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2My wife complained that Guitar Hero doesn't have any songs she likes, until I pointed out that the songs she like don't have guitar.
- hightower77, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2Um, Zepplin is on iTunes.
- trilks, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2its horrible/outrageous/terrible/unfathomable that they did not include [insert my favorite band here]. how dare they.
- woohhaa, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2My friend and I were playing GH3 co-op last night wishing they had some Tool. How bad ass would it be to play Stinkfist on GH or Rockband.
- UGM2099, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2and not surprisingly is a music snob: "If you haven’t heard of Blind Guardian, that’s a real shame."
- jaredvolkl, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2Oooh, Bad Religion - American Jesus would be sweet as hell.
- barnett25, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2And they could have an Organ to play.
It would be awesome to see a 61-note playing area on the screen. Someone needs to photoshop a screenshot of this! - DrvThruPnk, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2wtf? Why did he list one of Less Than Jake's worse songs that barely even uses horns in it as an example of ska?!
- igjoe, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2Does anyone know where to find the weekly song release schedule for 2008? I can only find the Winter 2007 press release.
- Tyrghast, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2108 diggs and DOWN
yay for google cache, but i have to say dude, learn to proofread. -
