So you're all probably doing something this Holiday season where you will be in good company, relaxing with friends and family, and will be looking for a good time. That's where Rockband comes in. I have a solid collection of Christmas music and it would be great to hear some of these tunes make it into Rockband. It's probably not possible to acquire the licenses and all that on such short notice but we can all hope for a Christmas miracle. A few off the top of my head:
The Ramones - Merry Christmas
A fun track (even despite it's festive affiliations) and, hey, there's already a Ramones track on there.
Viva Voce - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
A really fuzzed out rendition of the Christmas classic done by my personal favorite band. They've done two others (Jolly Old St. Nicholas and What Child is This) but this is the one I feel has the most interesting tracks and would fit best into the game. It's a relatively obscure track if that has anything, negative or positive, to do with acquiring it.
Relient K - We Wish You a Merry Christmas
Relient K had a christmas EP way back when and just recently released the album all together under hilariously clever title 'Let it Snow Baby... Let it Reindeer.' There's a whole load of great Rockband worthy Holiday songs from Relient K. In fact, I'd also love:
Relient K - 12 Days of Christmas
I also would love '12 days of Christmas' despite how repetitive the song gets. There rendition has some clever little variants to the lyrics every so often and is actually really varied. The vocal track on this would be interesting.
Weezer - Christmas Song
An excellent song with all around great tracks. Oh, and Weezer also falls under the 'already in Rockband' category.
Fountains of Wayne - I want an Alien for Christmas
Is this song weird? Yeah. Would it make a fun Rockband song? Yeah.
I have yet to import my Christmas collection to my computer but there are several others that could apply. Plus, if you can think of any renditions of 'winter' or 'Hanukkah' songs than feel free to throw those into the mix too.
