What are some groups, genres, or songs that would be good for Rockband but will be overlooked because some people HATE them or because they or obscure or whatever. Here are my picks

1. Nickleback (yes I know everyone hates them...but they would be fun to play)

2. Godsmack (see Nickleback)

3. Evanescence (there needs to be some good chick songs)

4. Korn (they arent as bad as limp bizkit)

5. Journey/Foreigner (awsome cheesy music)

6. hendrix...(how come no guitar game hasnt jumped on him)

7. Bob Marley (if you dont think so...go back and listen to him...if you can do the dead you can do marley)

Spanish Castle Magic was in GH1. There was some contractual thing with the Hendrix estate though that wouldnt allow them to use Vocals for the song, even though the real version has lyrics.

One band id like to see as DLC but will probably be skipped is Alice in Chains. I know Them bones was in Gh2, but I dont see much demand for them sadly, but I WOULD love to belt out some Vocals in Rooster or play the riff to Man in the Box.

Id also Like some more Anthrax. They were in GH2 and 80s, and I want some RB content for them:P I am the Law PLEASE?! More Preist too. they were in 1 and 80s, but not in GH2, 3 or RB. Breakin the Law would be perfect for Rock Band

I agree with 1-4. Probably because nobody wants them. Journey has not been overlooked tho, and we already have a foreigner song. Hendrix and Marley are probably hard as h3ll to get. My picks are:

Bob Dylan
Cinderella
Warrant
Poison
The Police ~sarcasm~
Rolling Stones (only seen 1 thread asking for them)

Evanescence would be nice IMO
Living Colour i haven't seen that much(if any) DLC Want threads for them but since my dad is a huge fan of them and I'm named after one of the members(lol) i know how awesome their music is


Off Topic didn't Bob Marley's mother die last week or so?

Everyone Wants more stones. I just didnt say it cause i thought it was kinda obvious. Hopefully we are getting Cant get no Satisfaction that was on the leaked list.

Warrant kinda blows. they were a one hit wonder with Cherry Pie, and we got that in GH2. I would like some poison personally, btu with Bret Micheals in GH3 i doubt we would, but Id love Fallen Angel as DLC

And I know that BOC is huge with Dont Fear the Reaper but lets not forget another great song of theirs. Burning for You. I want that song in RB/GH SOOO bad (obviously RB over GH, but id be happy with either) I think BOC has had the best songs in the whole GH/RB games. Godzilla was probably my favorite licenced song in GH1, and Cities a flame in GH3 is a most excellent song. And Dont fear the reaper i dont even need to say (but damn you on the drums. 84% EVERYTIME... GRRRR)

I think there is a demand for AiC. I'm sure we will see them sooner or later. I love them.

I think so far my number one concern is certain 80's genres. I'll name the genres and at least one band I feel is a good representation that would be great in Rock Band.

So far arena rock is pretty weak. (Journey, Scorpions)

AOR (album oriented rock) is basically non existent in Rock Band (Alias, Bad English)

The presence of "hair" bands is also lacking. I don't want Poison, but there's so many great ones. (Whitesnake - "Here I go Again" belongs in Rock Band, White Lion)

These genres overlap quite a bit, but collectively the scarcity of them in Rock Band disturbs me.

I want more Thrash... :D j/k. It would be appreciated, but eh. I can live.

I want to see stuff like SOAD... or even the Killers. They are awesome :D

And Disturbed

Id agree with Living Colour but since they couldnt find the masters for GH for Cult of Personality id doubt we will ever get them

Judas Priest is probaly to if not the most overlooked DLC. Not to be longwinded but in some people including me saythey are one of the three kings of Metal ( the others being Black Sabbath which we have and even though the covers are crappy Iron Maiden) to me it makes no sense to me why at the least cant we have just one song from Priest im at the point now to where i dont even care if its a cover lets just get Priest on the game.

Another 2 bands i say are very overlooked are Motley Crue lets be honest the ruled "Hair Metal" again even if a cover id buy it and last but not least Van Halen who doesnt want to pretend the Eddie Van Halen or David Lee Roth just for one day lol... those are just my opnions

Warrant's only good song is Heaven. I'd die for some poison, van halen, and motley crue.

Queensryche is another amazing band that has been totally over looked by all the GHs and Rock Band.

Lets see, overlooked bands...

1. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
2. Fleetwood MAc
3. Skillet (Yes, they're a Christian rock band, but who cares?)
4. Dire Straits (Sultans of Swing NEEDS to be in Rock Band!!!)
5. Steppenwolf

Can't think of any more.....

Some people might not know about this band, but how about Skindred? They have some awesome songs such as Bruises, Nobody, and Babylon.

I'm surprised that there's no AFI. They are quite popular around where I live and I think that a lot of people would purchase an AFI pack.

Miss Murder is a really bad song. It's overplayed. I mean good AFI. Like Days of the Phoenix, God Called in Sick Today, The Missing Frame, The Leaving Song Part 2, I can go on and on and I'm just naming the more mainstream songs.
