I don't think anyone has done this type of comparison yet, so forgive me if I'm unknowingly repeating an already made thread. Now that RB's setlist is done and official, I wanted to see how both setlists stand up to each other. I'm most looking forward to RB as a singing game, so that's what I've been guaging the songs by-what I'd like to sing most. For me, GH has WAY more songs I'd love to sing. I've asterisked each song in both lists that would seem most fun to sing. Here's both lists (I haven't included GH's bonus songs, just to be fair):

RB Fun to sing:24
GHIII Fun to sing:28

It's a close call, and there are many bonus GH songs I'd love to sing that I didn't count. Anyhoo, there's my two-cent opinion.

You've forgotten Bloc Party, which I'd love to sing.

If Rock Band only let me sing Behind Blue Eyes, I'd still choose it over GH3.

1 this is purely opinion. There are several songs you skipped that I would love to sing, and ones you picked that have me scratching my head. That said, I will also say that out of the box comparisons are very lopsided. I want to compare RB VS GHIII in February.

And B, I'm glad you didn't count bonus because we don't know about RB bonus.

He's not, really. We know how many bonus songs there will be, just not what they are.

...Me neither! I'm sorry, but I'll have to call myself out on this one... I thought I had a point, but once written out, it made no sense in the end. I hurridly threw this together during my 15 minute break at work. Gah! Feeling pretty dumb right now... Mod, please delete or lock. Heh.. Sorry 'bout this pointless thread everyone.

I actually thought it was a good idea for a thread. Pride and Joy would be a fun track to sing along with.

Locking per request.
