    My number 1 request would have been to feature Eric Clapton in his proper place for While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
    The whole instrumentation of the song is different without Eric, in the hypothetical Beatles Rock Band world - you've got Paul instead of John on bass, George on lead instead of Eric, John on rhythm instead of George, and no piano.

    George Martin is in the game, not sure whether it's a visual appearance but apparently he tells you how good your run was when you're in Abbey Road.

    Think that was either from GameInformer or NYTM

    George Martin is by far the most obvious example of a 5th Beatle for his contribution to their music. Not only did he produce their music, he arranged their orchestrations and he played piano parts on a bunch of songs in their earlier years (including the sped-up Baroque piano on In My Life). Of course, those years will be covered by venue performances rather than Abbey Road dreamscapes, but still, it would be funny to see some lanky, 30-something square banging away on a piano alongside the boys.

    Billy Preston would have been cool, and Martin interesting. The rest I don't really care about. Maybe they should show the Mike Sammes Singers on "I Am the Walrus".
