I am a music fanatic. If you check my profile, you will see I work in the music industry. I have worked as a sound engineer, gigging singer and musician and have worked for an artist management company as both a public relations specialist and road manager. And I honestly love this game. It is almost as fun as the real thing. Great concept. I do however have one issue with Rock Band. Why are there no female rock songs on this game? I know that at the current time there seems to be a lull in female rockers but there are plenty to choose so here are my suggestions:
Heart - Barracuda, Magic Man, Crazy on You, Dog & Butterfly
Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen, Stand Back,
Janis Joplin - (Take another Little) Piece of My Heart
Pat Benetar - Fire & Ice, Love Is a Battlefield
Blondie - One Way or Another, Call Me
Avril Lavigne - Complicated
Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me
Meredith Brooks - What Would happen (if we kiss, would your tongue slip pass my lips)
Cheryl Crow - All I Wanna Do
Melissa Ethridge - Come To My Window
Bonnie Raitt - Something to Talk About
Bonnie Tyler - Holding Out For a Hero, Total Eclipse of the Heart
KT Oslin - Constant Craving
Natalie Imbruglia - Torn
Now also there are some very noticeable gaps in the male rock genre:
Fleetwood Mac - The Chain, Rhiannon, Gold Dust Woman, Sara
Styx - Lorali, Renegade, Too Much Time on My Hands
Guns N Roses - Sweet Child of Mine, Welcome to the Jungle, Janie Got a Gun
John Mayer
Train
Journey
Van Halen
ZZ Top
Dire Straits
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Peter Frampton
Eagles
Just to name a few. The real message here to Rock Band is that Women are getting overlooked. We want female rockers for this game. And to some who have posted notices to all the "old people" who are requesting 70's & 80's rock telling them to get over it. You need realize that those groups have stood the test time and proven they are legends. Many of today's "new rock groups" last about one album and have only 1-3 hits instead of 30. It was those groups who made rock music legendary. And realistically, the grooves and structure of the music is much more powerful than most of the newer style of rock, which typically has little structure and no real melodic tune. Every style of music goes in cycles and eventually a more classic form of rock will be back in style.
Please give us Female Rockers and more legends. I work in the music industry and I can tell you sales of the classic rock still outsell most of the current groups.
