50 Songs For Your Consideration -- DLC makers please read -- feedback welcome

[Greatwhitehype]

This list spans 5 decades (10 songs per decade, I combined 50's and 60's). I tried to put avoid artists that are frequently requested--such as Nirvana, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC etc, though I couldn't resist a Beatles song or a Led Zep song here and there. I also tried to leave off artists that have already been in Rock Band or are in Rock Band 2.

I don't really like anything you listed besides Eddie money and Sum 41

Could have picked a better Sum 41 song for sure also

Wow! Nothing else? Alot of good stuff in there--

you probably know all the songs on this list but if their arer any you don't know you should youtube at least one of them and give it a shot...

Yeah their certainly are more better Sum 41 songs I figured I'd pick the most popular song they've had for mainstream fans.

[kingtonyx]

OH we're talking about different songs on the list

you're talking about I Got You by Split Enz

I'm talking about Got You (Right Where I Want You) by The Flys

[afterstasis]

OH we're talking about different songs on the list

you're talking about I Got You by Split Enz

I'm talking about Got You (Right Where I Want You) by The Flys

ah, confusion all around!
i suspect you're right. i think i read the flying lizards track as their only hit, "(money) that's what i want".

[BuRn7 CaK3]

"I Bet You'd Look Good On The Dancefloor" is a band name??? wow. That's a stupid name for a band name.

Here's a hint, fix that part so you have the Artic Monkeys Second instead of first, that way its following your theme of Song - Artist

[ExpertDrummer]

Eh

I only like the Zepplin and Sum 41 songs.

[kingtonyx]

ah, confusion all around!
i suspect you're right. i think i read the flying lizards track as their only hit, "(money) that's what i want".

ahhh, yeah probably

[AirborneMist]

I love all these picks. If we had Johnny B. Goode, I would play the intro and then reset it, so I could play the intro again. When you hear the beginning of the song you can't help but to start tapping your toes, bobing your head or playing air guitar or all at the same time.

[avalanchefan84]

Some good picks but Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' American Girl is from 1976. Just a little mistake.

[Satoshi]

You could have picked better sings for some of the artists like

I Saw Her Standing There/While My Guitar Gently Weeps/Hard Day's Night - The Beatles
You Really Got Me Going/A Well Respected Man - The Kinks
Whole Lotta Love/Kashmir/Heartbreaker/Black Dog - Led Zepellin

Lovefool/Erase-Rewind-The Cardigans
Time Won't Let Me Go/Believe-The Bravery
In Too Deep-Sum 41
Fake Tales of San Francisco/Brainstorm/Train or Bus-Arctic Monkeys

Don't get me wrong you picked great songs I love them all, but I personally would pick songs that people know(well..some of them at least):)

Great List!!

[JOwnsYou]

Props for listing Collective Soul and Candlebox but a big booooo at white stripes.

[Greatwhitehype]

Woah I got alot of the years wrong---

yes, the Flying Lizards was a typo, shoulda been The Flys...the Flying Lizards only song was Money (That's What I Want) and I don't want it in Rock Band.

Their are certainly better songs by many of these artists that would be awesome in Rock Band. I was thinking While My Guitar Gently Weeps for the Beatles and then I thought of the guitar lick for Day Tripper and chose that instead. Alot of good choices you guys have.

I should threw in Beat It by Michael Jackson for the 80's

[BuRn7 CaK3]

"I Bet You'd Look Good On The Dancefloor" is a band name??? wow. That's a stupid name for a band name.

Here's a hint, fix that part so you have the Artic Monkeys Second instead of first, that way its following your theme of Song - Artist

yeah. ignored. Fix it!

[Polly121 SH]

i like Pink Floyd alot :D What about :

Pink Floyd - Shine on you crazy diamond or
Pink Floyd - wish you were here or are they to slow ? :/

Anyway , maybe

Slipknot - Psychosocial ?
Michael Jackson ( or maybe the cover by FOB) - Beat it ?
The Scorpions - Still loving you
The Scorpions - Rock you like a hurricane
The Rembrandts - I'll Be there for you ( why not ? :D lol )
System of a Down - Aerials
Children of Bodom - Needled 24/7
Children of Bodom - in your face

Would like to see those songs in a game :D and all of the others in this thread ofc :)

[Johnny Webb]

the list looks great to me, and includes a lot of gems I included on my own list. good job.
