Which song ommission from the final 20 would disappoint you most?

[jay4428]

Only 20 on-disc songs left. Of the songs listed, which one's omission would disappoint you the most?

I tried to list songs that were either top selling singles, much talked about in the forums or iconic songs that should be on disc. It wasn't easy listing 9! Unfortunately, there will probably be more than just one of these that doesn't make the cut.

[RockBandRocker]

As much as I like "Helter Skelter" and hope it is on disc, I LOVE "Help!" and I hope that song is on the disc.


(Also, I fully expect "Something" to not be on the disc, but will be a part of the Abbey Road DLC along with "Come Together" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)".)

[elitemastersam]

She Said She Said - great guitar, fantastic drumming, good vocals as usual, decent bass

I won't be upset if Hey Jude doesn't get in. It would be fun to sing, but that's about it.

[Rockbandfan23467]

Helter Skelter. It's a canidate for the first Metal song.

[quinaking]

Rainainainaainaiiiin I do mind in this case.

[jay4428]

Rainainainaainaiiiin I do mind in this case.

Rain is amazing. I hope it makes the cut.

[travmeatwad]

As much as I like the other songs and think they'll be fun to play, this game can't not have Help!

[chrth_rb]

Other: Ballad of John and Yoko. Seems like it'd be a blast to play.

[zepplinmike]

I voted other for "Ticket to Ride" but I'd also be disappointed if "Rain" was left out.

[Captendo]

C'mon pal, ok, I was sure you would never put In My Life as an option, but While My Guitar Gently Weeps...
I go for this one.

[Reaver]

Other: "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

Easily my favorite Beatle song and I'd be sorely disappointed if it never made its way into the game either on disc or as DLC.

[babaoriely]

She Said She Said - great guitar, fantastic drumming, good vocals as usual, decent bass

I won't be upset if Hey Jude doesn't get in. It would be fun to sing, but that's about it.

1000 times yes

[jay4428]

C'mon pal, ok, I was sure you would never put In My Life as an option, but While My Guitar Gently Weeps...
I go for this one.

My bad

[Rute86]

It was between Help! and She loves You, I went with She Loves You

[PenitentTom]

"She Loves You," obviously in the Ed Sullivan Show venue. It's so iconic that I don't really expect to be disappointed by its omission, though.

[BlueJayGuy]

Rain; it's a BEAUTIFUL song to sing (the lead voice and chorus are simply great), very good bass line, solid drums...

omg, just think of it:

Helter Skelter? (AHHHHHHHHH LOOK OUTTTTT !)
or
Rain? (Raiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-iii-iiiiiii-i-ii-iin, I don't miiiiiiinddd.....)

It just sounds awesome compared to Helter Skelter. Of course, "guitar-crashers" will prefer Helter Skelter for difficulty, but in matter of good vocals+instruments, Rain is better and funny to play (Helter will be you and your friends screaming, for me not funny... :S)

[Captendo]

My bad

Dontcha worry, I was just kidding and I forgot the :)-part :)

[jay4428]

Dontcha worry, I was just kidding and I forgot the :)-part :)

It's all good. I had it my head when I was putting the list together but somehow missed it when I actually created the poll. It definitely should be on there!

[LibertineStripes]

Help!

If it isn't on here I will be bummed.

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

She Loves You. It's the most iconic Beatles song there is, next to Revolution.

[jl8e]

Hey Bulldog is the one that will disappoint me the most if it isn't there.

[Zomba]

A Day in the Life... please Harmonix! On-disc, dlc, whatever... just make it playable!

[liaminh]

Bulldog

[MostSpartan14]

Hey Bulldog is the one that will disappoint me the most if it isn't there.


Bulldog

Same with me. It's one of my favorite Beatles songs. I would also be disappointed if Hey Jude, A day in the Life, and While My Guitar Gently weeps aren't included.

[BGM]

It just sounds awesome compared to Helter Skelter. Of course, "guitar-crashers" will prefer Helter Skelter for difficulty

Actually, one of the confirmed songs, "And Your Bird Can Sing" will prolly be the one of the, if not the, hardest songs on guitar if they make you play the harmonized guitar chorus and bridge. It's actually two guitars playing, but if they chart it as chords it could be very tricky to hit.

Also, I would be very sad if Rain doesn't make it in in some form. If they stick to album DLC, Rain won't make it if it isn't on disc, since it was never on an album :-( It was just a B-Side to Paperback Writer.

[Joe1310]

i would be upset if any of these get left out. i voted for a day in the life

[Llamaaction]

Rain is the best song EVER.

[Rod_Stixx]

It would probably be Helter Skelter. As one of the "rockingest" tracks in their catalog, it seems like it would be perfect for the game. Though I expect we'll see all of these either on the disc or DLC. As long as there is DLC, I don't feel like I'll have any reason to feel upset/betrayed/disappointed with the on-disc tracks.

[JasonTH79]

"Rain" would probably disappoint me the most if it wasn't included.

[YCFan282]

i really want A Day In The Life, but I would love if I've Just Seen A Face somehow made it in the game

[harveyglobetrot]

I think that Helter Skelter is such a certainty that I'm not even considering it for this poll (although I wouldn't have voted for it anyway).

There are songs that I would be disappointed to see miss out from this poll (Rain, Help!, the aforementioned Helter Skelter), but the only one I would be actively upset by would be A Day In The Life.

[i_c_weiner]

To preface, I gave my vote to Helter Skelter, as it's been requested for Rock Band DLC for years now (along with While My Guitar Gently Weeps) and it would be odd with this opportunity now to pass up on it.

Of those in the poll, Helter Skelter and Rain. I'd like Something and Help!, but none of the rest I would be too disappointed or surprised if they weren't included. Of others, definitely While My Guitar Gently Weeps. How can't they include it? I'm thankful that Abbey Road will be DLC or I'd be upset about Come Together, I Want You (She's So Heavy), and Something not being in the game at all.

[Backbeat60-62]

I voted other for "Ticket to Ride" but I'd also be disappointed if "Rain" was left out.

Rain would be great... awesome drumming by Ringo on that one

John Lennon said in an interview that "Ticket To Ride" was probably the first metal song... I can't remember how he explained it, it's been a while since I heard the interview, but he said something like if you threw on a bunch of distortion to the guitars... I imagine it would sound something like Def Leppard that way... I'm surprised no artist has tried that idea yet

[rnrkid812]

I will be sad if Strawberry Fields Forever is missing. Happiness is a Warm Gun would be nice too.

[mercury11]

A day in the Life is a must
Hey Jude is the one I least care about ( on this list )

[Dante1847]

chose "other"

"Across the Universe" needs to be in the game. and I agree with those who say that "Helter Skelter" is gonna be in the game.

[The_Oreo]

I desperately want blisters on my fingers, so my choice is obvious.

Maaan, I really hope they can somehow cut HS's big massive end bit (or holy s***, chart it as a BRE!) and finish with the Ringo harmony-player shouting "I got blisters on ma' fingers!"

[Dante1847]

IMaaan, I really hope they can somehow cut HS's big massive end bit (or holy s***, chart it as a BRE!) and finish with the Ringo harmony-player shouting "I got blisters on ma' fingers!"

careful now...there's some SERIOUS debate over this lyric. I say its "blisters on ME fingers".....but then I was called out saying "no, its 'blisters on MY fingers"

edit: can we get a poll on this, please

[Nightwing]

Eleanor Rigby would be my vote.I just don't see how they would do it.
Unless they made the cellos work with the guitars...

[jay4428]

Eleanor Rigby would be my vote.I just don't see how they would do it.
Unless they made the cellos work with the guitars...

I guess they could chart the violins to guitar and cellos to bass with no drums. It'd be a stretch but I think it could be done. I dont think it will make the disc because of that but I cant wait to get it as DLC.

[l-o-t]

my vote's for A Day in the Life. Not the most exciting to play for guitar and bass but I think the little drum fills Ringo does would be really fun. And it's always a good time switching lead vocalists halfway through a song.

Plus the Dreamscape will rock my world.

[Ferocious Q]

Helter Skelter

[eke826s]

Help! and Hey Jude

[Reg989]

I think Help would be a great choice, it has very nice vocals.
BTW, I hope you realize that Something cannot make it, otherwise there won't be much left of the Abbey Road album.

[Chance494]

Does Eleanor Rigby have drums?

[mobhit101]

Don't Let Me Down.


A bit ironic no? ;)
I would seriously cry if this didn't make it to the final disk or wasn't announced shortly after launch as dlc.

[FatWilma]

Helter Skelter will absolutely 100% be in the game. no ?

if Ticket to Ride and/or The Word were left out, it would greatly disappoint me.

[pianoman3284]

Out of that list, I would go with "Help!" but one of my favorites that I think would be great for the game is "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey." Great B side kinda song, if such thing exists in The Beatles' catalogue.

[milkandcookies]

My vote went to Other with Hello Goodbye, but Hey Jude would be good too.

[Dr._Frasier_Crane]

Does Eleanor Rigby have drums?

No. This really shouldn't be in this poll, since there is 0% chance the song is on disc. They wouldn't make it impossible to complete the story mode on solo drums.

[nk40699]

I vote for Strawberry Fields Forever. I grew up with that song... :,(

[Chew13acca]

While those are a bunch of great songs, and Helter Skelter simply FITS the rock band feel for a game.... Hey Jude was my vote. It's just too... well known and loved and GOOD to NOT be on there. I can live with Let it Be not being on disc. It should be DLC, i'd say.... November, week after a Sgt. Pepper release. That's right, i'm calling Sgt. Pepper Full Album DLC for Thanksgiving week.

tl;dr - Hey Jude. it's too iconic.

[robo_ninja]

If While My Guitar Gently Weeps isn't on there I'm gonna be pissed off.

[leob5622]

'O-bla-di, O-bla-da'
It's just fun.

[OFunkMaster]

"Helter Skelter", with a very close second of "Rain" and "Ticket To Ride"

[ArmsAreLoud]

Helter Skelter. It's the only Beatles song I love, really.

Then again, I guess I'd rather it doesn't make the game and then the band comes to their sences and releases some DLC for the main game.

[ClassicRockFanatic23]

Let it Be. Its may be cliche, but its the song I always listened to when I was sad, and I mean, great vocals and a epic guitar solo.

[iananderson]

Help! is one of my favorite Beatles songs.

[JIrish780]

While My Guitar Gently Weaps needs to be in this game.

[DerTommissar]

Doesn't matter to me. I mean, they're basically going to release just about every Beatles song as DLC, right? Sooner or later a song I want is going to be available for purchase. Now I'd like to get Strawberry Fields or Help! or She Loves You right off the bat, but I can be a bit patient.

[Mystic Fox]

other - In My Life. I'd be upset if it didnt make the set list. Ballad of John and Yoko would be my upbeat song that i'd be dissappointed if it wasnt in

[Relauby]

Other: Ballad of John and Yoko. Seems like it'd be a blast to play.

I don't think that'll make it because "Christ" is part of the chorus.

Also, I voted for Help! Dear god, I love Help!

[chrth_rb]

I don't think that'll make it because "Christ" is part of the chorus.


I actually said the same thing earlier in the forum (although it's not just the Christ, the "crucify me" line ain't gonna make friends either), but then they added I've Got A Feeling so now I'm wondering if they'd care. Granted "wet dream" references aren't as bad as what some people consider a blasphemy, but I figured that TPTB would go for non-controversy entirely with the disc. So I'm holding out hope.

[i_c_weiner]

It's rated Teen for a reason. On regular old Rock Band we have Say It Ain't So talking about the bottle being ready to blow and a good amount of songs talking about drugs and Jesus. Having a song say "the way things are going, they're gonna crucify me" and "Christ, you know it ain't easy" is nothing compared to what's already been on Rock Band games. And, as chrth_rb mentioned above, I've Got a Feeling says "wet dream", and we shouldn't forget how many want Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds; think of that dreamscape...

[clashcityrocker10]

I'd really like to see "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" in the game. This would probably be my biggest disappointment.

[elitemastersam]

I don't think that'll make it because "Christ" is part of the chorus.
"Jesus Christ" is part of the chorus in Man in the Box, and that made it into Rock Band 2, so I don't think that the mentioning of "Christ" would be a problem. And we all know that the Beatles were, and still are, bigger than Jesus.

[vcalzone]

Mine is probably "Dear Prudence". It's one of my favorite songs off the White Album, and since other gorgeous gems like Martha My Dear, Blackbird and Julia won't make it because of instrumentation, I'd like to have the next best thing. It has such a tight band feel to it, too, moreso than a lot of the other stuff they were doing at that time.

[General Lein979]

Hey Jude, but I'm guessing it won't make it in but early dlc I'm guessing.

Most of the abbey road stuff is songs that would make cool venues so far. Helter skelter and While My Guitar Gently Weeps seem like they could make a cool venue along with lucy and day in life. Rain also seems like a cool venue.

For the live stuff 5 from each venue. So From me to you and love me do closing the cavern club. She loves you and hard days night finishing Sullivan. I feel fine, help and ticket to ride at shea and we can work it out finishing budokan. Don't let me down and one after 909 for the roof top

EDIT: Just noticed I have nothing off of rubber soul for the live stuff

[fafa979]

Dear Prudence. My favorite song from them. second would be don't let me down.

[Firehouse66]

Help
Hard Day's Night
All My Loving
Should Have Known Better
Across The Universe

[theINC]

My top 2 wishes are for Help! and Helter Skelter.

Not sure how Let It Be would work in the game, despite being one of the Beatles' best songs. No keyboard... will the guitarist just be bored until the solo?

[biocookies]

Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown.) I would be pretty mad if this didn't make the cut.

[i_c_weiner]

My top 2 wishes are for Help! and Helter Skelter.

Not sure how Let It Be would work in the game, despite being one of the Beatles' best songs. No keyboard... will the guitarist just be bored until the solo?

I think the problem for me was that I had always known the Blue Album version of it, when the studio album version has a much grander guitar part in the second half of the song. I think I'll reverse my earlier opinion on the track and wish it gets into the game. theINC, just think about Baba O'Reilly by The Who; guitar doesn't kick in until about half-way through the song with that, but, when it does, it gives a booming kick. The same goes for Let It Be; that guitar solo is amazing, and it has a nice part afterward.

[jrdj87]

Hey Bulldog!!! That solo is amazing, be so awesome to play on TBRB.

[Chael]

Let It Be won't be on disc. If it is then what will sell the album as DLC? The Long And Winding Road?? Yeah right. Although Across The Universe will get me to buy the album for DLC I would think they want another big song to sell it.

[Backbeat60-62]

Come to think of it, there are a few tracks I really would like to play in the game:

#1. "Bad Boy"
#2. "Slow Down"
#3. "Matchbox"
#4. "I Call Your Name"
#5. "You Can't Do That"
#6. "It Wont Be Long"
#7. "When I Get Home"

These are some of their really great hard rockers from 1964. Especially "Bad Boy", a rare song from an EP, that was also covered by Rush in the early '70s.

Great screamo in "Bad Boy".

[Sargehalo51]

The song I want the most is Rain.

[Chael]

The song I want the most is Rain.

That's one I'm really hoping for too.

[ParkaPalFred]

As much as I would like all of the songs listed in the poll in the game, omitting While My Guitar Gently Weeps would be a tragedy of the highest order.

[colahead420]

Omission of any of these songs would be disappointing. I would choose Dear Prudence though. The song gives me chills everytime.

All I have to say is, thank God for DLC. I won't be disappointed when all these songs are available for purchase.

[colahead420]

Let It Be won't be on disc. If it is then what will sell the album as DLC? The Long And Winding Road?? Yeah right. Although Across The Universe will get me to buy the album for DLC I would think they want another big song to sell it.

The album will sell the album. If you're fan enough...

[Chael]

The album will sell the album. If you're fan enough...

I am fan enough to buy everything they put out. But not everybody is.

[i_c_weiner]

A Beatles fan's reaction: Z0MG LET IT BE ALBUM!!!
An average RB fan's reaction: WTF 1S L0NG & W1ND1NG R0AD???

[foolofatook14]

I Want You (She's So Heavy)

[chrth_rb]

The album will sell the album. If you're fan enough...

I'm going to guess that the financial success of TB:RB DLC involves getting those not "fan enough" to buy the album DLC as well

[Chael]

I'm going to guess that the financial success of TB:RB DLC involves getting those not "fan enough" to buy the album DLC as well

Thats the point I was trying to make. Well done!

[i_c_weiner]

I Want You (She's So Heavy)

I would be pretty upset with its omission too, but I know it'll be on the Abbey Road DLC so I'm fine.

[colahead420]

A Beatles fan's reaction: Z0MG LET IT BE ALBUM!!!
An average RB fan's reaction: WTF 1S L0NG & W1ND1NG R0AD???

Hahahah.
The Long and Winding Road is more popular than a lot of the other songs on it.

it would be more like : WTF 1S M4GG1E MA3?? or Dig It perhaps

[colahead420]

I'm going to guess that the financial success of TB:RB DLC involves getting those not "fan enough" to buy the album DLC as well

Yea I know what you guys are saying but if Let It Be was available as DLC and they didn't know any of the songs other than Let It Be, then they would just buy that one song. Those not "fan enough" aren't going to buy a whole album they don't even know just because of one song. That's why the album will sell the album, not a single song. See what I mean?

[chrth_rb]

Well, if they just buy that one song, it's still an extra $2 for HMX (although I wonder if you'll even be able to buy individual songs from the Album DLC? Maybe they'll only be sold in packs? And would it apply to the Wii?). But you also have to consider that even solid Beatles fans aren't all completely made of money; some may be forced to pick and choose which songs/albums to buy.

While it sucks when you think about it, the smart thing for HMX to do is hold back a few of the most popular songs to help motivate sales of the DLC.

[Lawl01]

Helter Skelter or Old Brown Shoe, or both actually.

[Meckler]

gotta be helter skelter. that song is bangin and would love to turn it up and scare some peeps.

[kkawachi]

YER BLUES!!

BADLY!!!

All My Loving I'm very sure will make it. Overall I just hope there will be lots of DLC for this game.

[i_c_weiner]

Hahahah.
The Long and Winding Road is more popular than a lot of the other songs on it.

it would be more like : WTF 1S M4GG1E MA3?? or Dig It perhaps

They'll hear the preview for those songs and think "des sound kool" and then realize when they download them that the preview was the entire song.

[Stinger503]

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da because it's one of my favourite Beatles songs.

[jay4428]

I went ahead and counted up and added those who chose "Other" and listed their selection in-thread. Quite a diverse list, which goes to show how hard it is to pick 45 songs to be on-disc. Helter Skelter appears to be the clear choice so far with Hey Jude picking up some momentum. I think While My Guitar Gently Weeps would have gotten a lot more votes though had I included it in the poll <slaps self in face>.

51 Helter Skelter
44 Hey Jude
28 Help!
22 A Day in the Life
17 Rain
15 Let It Be
10 She Loves You
7 While My Guitar Gently Weeps
6 Eleanor Rigby
5 Something
4 Hey Bulldog
3 Dear Prudence
3 Strawberry Fields Forever
2 Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da
2 She Said She Said
2 Ballad of John and Yoko
1 Across the Universe
1 Bad Boy
1 Don’t Let me Down
1 Everybody's Got Something to Hide…
1 I Want you (She's So Heavy)
1 in My Life
1 Norwegian Wood
1 Old Brown Shoe
1 Ticket to Ride
1 Yer Blues

[chumsicles]

Did this thread really last 10 pages with no mention of You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)?

[Llamaaction]

Did this thread really last 10 pages with no mention of You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)?N :Po, only three.

[i_c_weiner]

I think I have said before (probably not in this thread) that I'd love for that song to appear on the game somehow. It's just so much fun.

[yuk_dum_boo_bum]

In my life pls

[screwtop]

I voted for Help!, because you just have to have that song (preferably with them wearing those stupid blue capes from the album cover). But I'd also be sad if Getting Better or Magical Mystery Tour wasn't on there.

[BadJude]

I absolutely love Hey Jude, and Helter Skelter would be a downright blast to play, but i would prob be most upset if A Day in the Life was not on-disc.

[JoeLUFC4eva]

a day in the life is possibly the greatest song of all time and will be a crime if not on the disc but i suspect that most beatles songs will be released as dlc anyway so im not that bothered

[Urteil]

A Hard Day's Night. :)

[Sgt-Raccoon]

I'll be devastated if You're Going to Lose That Girl is not on disc. And since I have the 20GB Playstation 3 and no way to run an Ethernet cord to it I won’t be able to get any DLC. I also hope Rocky Raccoon is on disc but it probably won’t be :(

[TheCulprit]

I voted Help! but am getting worried about its inclusion after Ticket to Ride was announced.

[Sgt.Pepper]

Mine was other.
All My Loving being left out would make me a bit upset as this is the song that turned me on to The Beatles.
If not though, well, you can't go wrong with any Beatles setlist.

[TheObscure]

The Ballad of John and Yoko :3

[Cataclysmo]

Oh man, if there isn't Sie Liebt Dich in there I'll be ruined. :(

[noreply]

You're Going to Lose That Girl (!)
Harmonies and all.

[junkmonkey4878]

Good Morning Good Morning, I love that song.

[SittingOnCornflake]

Money(Thats What I Want). It's the perfect song for 3 vocal harmonies and a great guitar and drum part.

[PCTraitor]

Did I miss something and While My Guitar Gently Weeps has been confirmed? This song has to to be on the disc. I really think it will be since it's pretty perfect for the game, but if it hasn't been confirmed people should be mentioning it.

[samcroft90]

Hello Goodbye would be a big single to miss and its a fun song to begin with, so it will be probably translate to a fun song to play.

[o8jedi]

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps," hands down. I'll be really miffed if that wasn't there. That said, it'll still be an awesome game.

[zeoavenger]

Let it Be would be a crushing omission. Most of these be dumb ot leave out unless HMX is just trying get the DLC money.

[dalcyte]

Helter Skelter. It's a canidate for the first Metal song.

Helter Skelter is pretty much a reply to a Who song/album, so the Who should really take credit then...cause i don't think Helter Skelter (Coordinated chaos) is somehow more raucous or chaotic than something the Who did (also Coordinated chaos, which inspired equally coordinated chaos)

[DethBoxx]

Happiness is a Warm Gun
