rock/punk/ska/reggae

[fatman]

In a nod to those who like punk - a band w/ all 4 parts that would be fun to play - OPERATION IVY with tracks like 'sound system' etc.

SUBLIME also has great tunes w/ a huge cult following as well as songs that would work very well. And on another not would provide a reggae type sound yet to be used in a music game.

why not throw san fran area amazing punk band SWINGIN' UTTERS - i love them and they have tons of songs that would work out well.

BOB MARLEY - but the faster more intense song's w/ running base lines such as 'could you be loved' - the drums would have many roll's in a lot of his songs

PETER FRAMPTON - 'show me the way'

AC/DC - some of their songs are essential rocking out tunes..in fact people during the sars concert in toronto rocked out way more to them than even the stones.

ROD STEWART - "Stay with me" a nice long rock and roll songs w/ drum and guitar solos

RANCID - 'olympia' 'roots radicals' or actually most of 'and out come the wolves' album would work very well.

maybe some skate punk like PENNYWISE - which would have many game-friendly songs such as 'bro-hym' or 'date with destiny'

also forgot to mention a band like TEN FOOT POLE w/ clean vocals and nice drumming i think an ideal song would be 'this is but a test' ? not sure the title right now, but the drums for the entire songs would be different than any other song because it uses a a slow roll rather than a traditional high-hat snare combo - it uses a couple snare hits then about for tom hit's (both) and ends with a snare hit while including a symbol hit here and there, very cool.

last but not least at all ... THE BAND - they we so awesom and they have great solos and drums, vocals and bass...it's amazing, if anyone hasn't seen scorsese film documenting 'the last waltz' it is a must see. amazing, it was their last live show, and had guests like ERIC CLAPTON, NEIL YOUNG, VAN MORRISON, and BOB DYLAN that play with them on stage and should also for sure be in the game too.

BOB MARLEY - but the faster more intense song's w/ running base lines such as 'could you be loved' - the drums would have many roll's in a lot of his songs.
Having Bob Marley would be amazing! Soooooo many good songs!

[fatman]

Having Bob Marley would be amazing! Soooooo many good songs!

yeah, the only problem i could see would be any slow songs...people would complain that they don't rock enough, and the drums on expert would be way too easy, but there are enough intense songs by him for at least a few.

[Nilsen31]

Stay With Me ...

what an amazing song.


That was actually done by The Faces, with Rod Stewart as the front man.


Hell, I'd love to see Hot Legs by Rod Stewart in there as well...just a crazy song.

I like AC/DC and Frampton and The Band.


Sublime would be good, as long as it's one of their hits, as I'm not a huge fan :D


The others are ok.

[kroch69]

I am totally with you on the punk/ska/reggae! You are a very smart man that acually listens to real music. Thank you

[Mushroom]

I'd like to see The Offspring's Americana as a download album.

[Nilsen31]

All that summer, me and my bro...being like 10 at the time, all we did was listen to Americana and play Need For Speed : "something" for PS1

[Pharynx]

Bad Brains! Banned in DC or the Big takeover would be sooo much fun
A 999 song would be interesting too. Like Obsessed or Emergency
Also a Vibrators or an Undertones song would be a good time all around

[Desensitized]

Yes it would. Some Streetlight Manifesto, Eddie & The Hot Rods, and The Jam would be nice too.

[RastamanD]

yeah Marley would be great. songs like slave driver, Exodus, small axe, and of course could you be loved would be awesome. oh and if you guys havent heard the song Exodus by marley you should listen to it. i think it would play great on this game.

[RastamanD]

311 would be fun too.

[natesm3]

Good taste in music fatman.

I'd download any Op Ivy or Sublime song from DLC.

I would like to see some NOFX and Dropkick Murphys too.

[kroch69]

yes....sublime, op ivy, throw in some less than jake also..none of there new stuff though.....and rancid!

[Tuljmyrskyt]

I'd love to see some ska in the future since most of it relies on strumming the up-beats, I think it'd make for an interesting/unique playing experience.

[Duh-Man]

I love the idea of d/l content being of a variety of music, but I have to put in a request for full albums of some of the Boston specific bands like The Slip, Acro-brats, MF Superior, and my favorite Vagiant (I know that this one is from Harmonix, but hey - I own the album I want to play it)

:)

[Duh-Man]

Reel Big Fish, The Mighty Mighty Boss tones, Big Bad Voodoo Daddies, Cherry poppin' Daddies... the list just goes on and on ...

[Desensitized]

'Let's Face It' and 'Question The Answers' would be awesome DLC albums for The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

[Nilsen31]

TMMB

Never had to knock on woooood

that song was in like Vigilante 8 or some game like that

[Desensitized]

It was in Rogue Trip, I think.

I whole heartedly agree.

Thanks man, and I agree. NOFX specifically so long thanks for all the shoes - album would have many rock band-friendly songs.

Also Dropkick murphy's thier old song from 'give em the boot' compilation#2 - that anthem song with the bagpipes ' ~ fights and loses, got all the bruises, will some one please step iiiiiinnnnn! ~' great tune.

I reallize boston is a hub for a lot of punk bands as some posters are listing boston bands,...but also this game has to have bands that a big enough for harmonix to conisder and anyone who is or has been into the punk scene knows that there are more gritty little bands than any other music genre. I just hope we get some good ones even if they are or where relatively huge, so as not to alienate people (or harmonix employees) who were never really 'big' into the scene.

[TreoRock_]

Oh yeah let's bring it on....
I would request Bob Marley songs of course. Pick any one! Then let's bring Pilfers, Sublime, old school No Doudt, Bad Brains, Rancid and more...!

Al

[Duh-Man]

What about Me First and the Gimme Gimmes?

Their punk style covers of very popular music is some of the most fun to listen to and would be a new twist on playing them.

[Pianoman178]

I could definately go for some No Doubt and Reel Big Fish.

(I can't believe someone mentioned streetlight manifesto earlier without saying Reel Big Fish or Less than Jake)

[theacademyis...]

i would like to see the ska band skankin pickle

[King_Nuthin]

Also Dropkick murphy's thier old song from 'give em the boot' compilation#2 - that anthem song with the bagpipes ' ~ fights and loses, got all the bruises, will some one please step iiiiiinnnnn! ~' great tune.
The song is Barroom Hero and is on their first full length album/cd (Do or Die) and also I believe the first, not second Give em the Boot comp. If there was going to be a Dropkicks song for DLC I'd prefer it be this but that's because I'm partial to the McColgan era Dropkicks. I lived in Boston back then and I agree there are a lot of great Boston punk bands to choose from if they wanted to go there.

[ShroominWITfurl]

I could definately go for some No Doubt and Reel Big Fish.

(I can't believe someone mentioned streetlight manifesto earlier without saying Reel Big Fish or Less than Jake)

beause RBF and less than jake are SELL OUTS! but ide LOVE to see them in the game. all three bands that is.

Streetlight Manifesto - A moment of silence/violence

RBF - BEER!!!

Less Than Jake - The science of selling youself short

and FISHBONE - Let dem hoes fight

[Soy_Bob]

Reel Big Fish:
Sell Out
Take On Me
Beer
S.R. (The many versions of)
(All from the live album)

The Aquabats:
All of "Charge!!", really.

That is all.

[lemonsqueezy8]
