Panama by Van Halen:

(Don't mind that stupid plane thing in the beginning)

It is absolutely perfect for Rock Band. Perfectly even blend of Lead Guitar, drums, bass, and lyrics. Each basically have their own solo. The lyrics are definatly possible, not throat-scratching or anything. Even the bass is evenly spread out, giving it some challenging points. If you actually listen to bass, you'll see how challenging it actually could be. The drums are always changing up. It would get very very hard at many points, changing between the high hat, cymbal, snare, and bass drums. You'd be all over the drum pads for this. The lead is obviously amazing. Giving many points to the other instruments, yet still rocking with the solos. The Lyrics are always keeping busy. Very energizing to sing. An all-around PERFECT song for our beloved Rock Band!!

Yeah, I've always wanted something by Van Halen for Rock Band. Panama would be excelent. Good choice.

I personally like Why Can't This Be Love, but hey, beggars can't be choosers, right? :)
