[FLYmeatwad]

Good stuff, I'd rather see The KKK Took My Baby Away or Outsider from The Ramones, but solid songs.

I'd add some Renegade by Styx and some Dylan somewhere.

[Captain Zepp 07]

Starman, i wondered why that wasn't a DLC song but i love it already. King Crimson, yes yes :)

Pretty good list,

i made my hendrix selection to make up for the dylan... i just don't think his material would work well in the context of the game. don't get me wrong, though... i love his early stuff.

my g/f loves styx, but i could never get into them, aside from "come sail away".

[sorgen]

I like your tier 9 a lot

[Tralcave]

Not really a list for me :) I would rather like to see some more modern rock :)

[afterstasis]

Not really a list for me :) I would rather like to see some more modern rock :)

i'll be the first to admit i despise most current popular rock... i did stretch and include the darkness, yeah yeah yeahs, andrew wk, witchcraft, and a few others, though.
i think a strong list is one that the author can totally stand behind while trying to include what he can of all styles...

[foolosophy]

I love Jeff Buckley, but there's no way he's going to land in Tier 8.

vocals, dude... plus, i put minimal effort into accurately tiering the songs.

That's about it. If your talking about Band tier it still wouldn't land in Tier 8. Otherwise Heroes by David Bowie would be there.

Still, I think Renegade is the perfect song for the game. Give it a listen and tell me it wouldn't be a ton of fun to play.

Understandable with the Hendrix, though I would suggest a compromise and use 'All Along the Watchtower'.

if we got a styx song i would hope for "renegade" or "too much time on my hands" personally... i would include "the best of times", but it'll wait in the wings with "come sail away" for the day "keyboard" becomes one of the core instruments...

also, "all along the watchtower" was the song i used for hendrix, dude! i don't really care for covers appearing on here, but that was an exception just so i could have some dylan presence... same as the muffs' cover of "kids in america"...

You're correct, I got this thread confused with another one, sorry. Renegade is great though. And I'd love some straight up Dylan, maybe for a low tiered band song, but that was a good Hendrix choice.

that's what i figured... there'd be no way i could keep up with these forums if i weren't enjoying this brief period of sweet unemployment...

lol, what do you think about bands that had one hit, such as King Missile (Detachable Penis), and Harvey Danger (Flagpole Sitta) and Stroke 9 (Little Black Backpack). I think RB2 should have more have more songs that you forgot but were good.

[TastyToast007]

no RATM? :(

not into any of those bands, though i'm sure HMX will hook you guys up in some form or fashion...
i could handle some white stripes if they get around the lack of bass guitar or maybe even something from the current crop of retro metal bands like the sword or danava.

[Schmeal]

I like your tier 9 a lot

That's just what I was thinking...

[fatalvendetta]

Missing a lot of bands. Co&Ca, RATM, A7X, Green Day, Evanescence, Rise Against, SoaD, Tenacious D, Linkin Park, Queens of the Stone Age, Drowning Pool. Just off the top of my head. The actual setlist will have a lot more modern rock that what you listed.

BEST LIST SO FAR!

[afterstasis]

i just updated the first post with my bonus song list... i'm pleasantly surprised to see what support for this setlist i've received...

[KillerIsMe]

Good list, would trade a couple of songs, like Scentless Apprentice for Nirvana instead of Aneurysm.
Would also throw in some personal favourites, but this is a good realistic list.

[Harveydent]

Great list!

[csvdavies87]

solid list

I'd rather have Too Young To Fall in Love rather than Kickstart my Heart, and One Way Ticket or I Believe in a Thing Called Love for The Darkness... but thats me

I like you're choice of R.E.M song, they'd need to post the lyrics as a page instead of scrolling

also.. you're link to Amanda by Boston leads to Mr. Crowley

i would like those songs from crue and the darkness as well, but the ones i listed are my personal big picks... i certainly wouldn't complain if we got the ones you posted instead though...
mostly, thanks for the correction on the link. i did the majority of this list on my girlfriend's laptop during a very long drive (10 hours), so i expected a few mistakes. i'll fix it in just a moment.

[Zep4life]

Love pretty much all of the selections. All along the watchtower would be amazing. Megadeath and Metallica in the final tier was a nice addition as well.

1 question....Zeppelin? Not even a softer/ more upbeat song like Immigrant song?

i love zeppelin, but am burned out on the very notion of having them on the game for obvious reasons.
if i had to pick one song for the game i'd go for "all of my love", though... it'd be a blast to sing.

i'm not going to respond to the rest of the setlist threads you're busy "criticizing" right now, but rest assured that i applaud your use of these message boards everyday. you will eventually master basic grammar and in two years when you graduate high school you will have what it takes to properly fill out a job application.
in the meantime, keep in mind that your taste and knowledge in music is not all-reaching across the planet.
