--EDIT--
I realized as I added info that the list is... improbable.
So I marked (*) songs which would be great for the game.
The rest are my own personal pipe dream. Rock Band would never sell those moods.
Enjoy the music.
--EDIT--
Varies from easier to harder from genre to genre, as far as play goes.
I know some genres are left out and you need a lot more "classic" songs, but it's a definite rough list.
I think we just all agree that the set list should have a lot of integrity, to prove that the audience is willing to listen to a variety of sounds and experience new music. Something MTV should move towards.
