[Rev0lver]

change the fall of troy song. human abstract song is good, but there are better. no reason to change it though.

[GrayInvisible]

I'll melt your pot.

[newwaytodie]

Nice list, very eclectic.

[LavatoryLoveMachine]

Cool list.

Being the Blind Guardian masturbator that I am, you could have picked WAY better songs than Imaginatios...

[battle_axe_of_doom]

nice to see that people still remember technically amazing bands like atheist and cynic :D

also listening to meshuggah's I (20 minute ep) right now and i've gotta say if i can play as thomas haake or fredrik thordendal (aka allan holdsworth wannabe ;)) i'd be glad to shell out $200

[Tarmanydyn]

Cool list.

Being the Blind Guardian masturbator that I am, you could have picked WAY better songs than Imaginatios...

It's actually one of my favorite songs from them, which one would you have picked?

[dumari]

I'm completely with you on Meshuggah.

Any song from Chaosphere on would be amazing to play in Rock Band.

It would add some variety and difficulty with it's focus on polyrythms.
