Anyone for oldie Rock?

[jmzerl72]

I'm talking like Chuck Berry, Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, James Brown???

[back_blows]

**** Yeah!! Lets get some of these:

Jackie Breston with Ike Turner-Rocket 88
Bill Haley and His Comets-Crazy Man, Crazy
Big Joe Turner-Shake, Rattle and Roll
Bo Diddley-Who Do You Love
Elvis Presley-Heartbreak Hotel
Johnny Cash-I Walk the Line
Screamin' Jay Hawkins-I Put a Spell on You
Buddy Holly-That'll be the Day
Chuck Berry-Johnny B. Goode
Eddie Cochran-Summer Time Blues
Ritchie Valen-Come on, Lets Go

I'm all for diversity. The thing I like with Rock Band (and mostly, it's vast DLC library) is that it covers all sort of different music from different decades of rock. So I'm with you here.

Some Chuck Berry would be awesome. :)

[Sargehalo51]

Hell to the yes! Bring on some of the Golden Oldies!!!

[Chocobo115]

sure, might be a bit too old for me, but I can enjoy some of it

[My name is Fez]

It'd be awesome as hell, but I'm not sure if HMX could use a Chuck Berry master.

[Dragon_captin87]

nice suggestions, definitely would be a change from the norm.

[Captain Zepp 07]

I want some oldies, especially BB King. This man is my hero, and would love it.

Suspicious Minds would be an awesome challenge for vocalists.

Luh-huv these song lists, and heartily approve all the above.

Definately, but plz, no beach boys. OMg, that surfer rock does not do it for me.

I would love some good Oldies. I think RB2 took a step in the right direction with Bob Dylan. Chuck Berry would be a welcome addition and is usually included in most guitarists’ lists as a major influence.

Elvis would be fun; I already can see people imitating his dancing while they sing. Buddy Holly, Bill Haley and Richie Valens are all early influences in rock and roll and would be fun rockin’ ditties. I have been waiting to get my funk on, I got my cape and I am ready to sing some James Brown.

The only problem is most of those recordings were probably only recorded on two tracks. I would love it, but anything from the 50's is pretty much impossible.

You are probably right. I would be satisfied with some good covers though.

[Sarumarine]

I think that's the route you're going to have to go to get songs like these, really awesome covers. Either by Harmonix or other artists. Which I think would be good, if just to point out that "yes, there were some pretty good songs way back then. Listen, won't you?"

[bodissie]

I would buy covers.

[kathyh75]

I'm in for some oldies, is there anything available from the 60s & 70s?

[ClassicRockFanatic23]

Well, there might not be tracks, but Chuck is still alive and could re-record Johnny B Goode....

Awesome list, the only thing I'd add John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom"
