GH2 had Amazing (Royal) Crowns and Stray Cats, and GH3 had some Social D, but maybe get some going for Rock Band.

Johnny Cash
Roy Orbison
Tiger Army
Nekromantix
Kings of Nuthin

Then mix in some:
Misfits
Dropkick Murphys (Do or Die style)
Flogging Molly
(OLD) Green Day
NOFX
ME First and the Gimmee Gimmees

Hell even some ska!
Mighty Mighty Bosstones
The Toasters

On that note, if we wants psychobilly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychobilly), how about some of "The Cramps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cramps)" and "The Meteors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Meteors)". Can't get much more psychobilly than songs like:

The Cramps - The Surfin' Dead
The Cramps - Bikini Girls and Machine Guns
The Meteors - Psycho For Your Love
The Meteors - She's a Zombie Now


Anybody hear of a 'gothabilly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothabilly)' group called "Koffin Kats"? They are awesome because they answer the question 'what would happen if you took Stray Cats and made them sing about chainsaw murders and graveyard love?'. Seriously.

Koffin Kats - Chainsaw Massacre
Koffin Kats - Die Cat Die

I'd go for psychobilly freakout. The drums seem like they'd be amazing in that, along with the nutty guitar.

For Flogging Molly--
1.) "What's Left of the Flag"
2.) "Drunken Lullibies"
3.) "Swagger"
4.) "Seven Deadly Sins"
5.) "Sentimental Johnny"
6.) "Tobacco Island" (The drums, man, the drums!)

I'd like Older Green Day and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones too. That'd be awesome. Though, I wouldn't mind hacking through "The Death of St. Jimmy" once or twice.

Oh god, The Reverend Horton Heat has so many amazing songs, Psychobilly Freakout is the LAST one I'd pick. Sadly, I don't think "Loco Gringos Like To Party" or "Bails of Cocaine" are gonna make it. "Prophet Stomp" is amazing, no lyrics though. "Galaxy 500"? "It's Martini Time"? "Suicide Doors"?

I'd love to see some second & third way ska. English Beat ("Rotating Head" "Mirror In the Bathroom" "Twist & Crawl"), Bosstones (any of it, I love 'em), Reel Big Fish (Again, anything, but their covers are so fantastic), Goldfinger... Makes me all excited just thinking about it.
