I've noticed Harmonix has represented many genre's of rock like metal, alternative, punk, and pop-rock. But I find that progressive rock is really under represented. Really two progressive rock bands that have been in Rock Band are Rush and Dream Theater. I'm I huge fan of Rush of and am glad that there are 10 individual songs from them. I'm not as big a fan of Dream Theater but their 2 songs are really fun to play. But what I'm really looking for are prog rock bands from the early 70's. Bands like Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Genesis(with Peter Gabriel as lead singer), King Crimson, Van der Graff Generator, and Gentle Giant. I'd also like to see some prog rock tracks from Kansas and Jethro Tull(the tracks from these bands in Rock Band 2 aren't exactly prog rock songs). Now with seem many facets of rock in the game I'd like to see some sort focus on progressive rock in the DLC maybe a prog rock pack or maybe pack for any of the bands I mentioned. I would be incredibly stoked to see progressive in a sea of what I believe is mediocre DLC. So I would to see some of these bands even if it means making cover versions.

Well, most ELP songs don't have guitar, but I'd love some more prog.

Well they could always do what they did with Smokin' and chart out keyboards but I guess people might have a problem with that for a whole song. It's just that I'd love to play drums, Carl Palmer is a beast.
