xCxx2x's RB3 Selist Request

[xCxx2x]

Okay, so this is would be my set-list for RB3 if I was directing the choices. This thread is also a follow-up to the Thread of Selists.

What I did was maintain the genre distribution/ratio of the RB2 set-list and exchanged songs for newer ones. The genre breakdown on wikipedia is what I went off of. I also highlighted my favorite songs of each category - and added two special requests of my own. I mean "special" b/c you won't necessarily play guitar or bass, but keyboard parts instead. I think it'd be interesting - like some NIN DLC where you play piano riffs on guitar.

Choose a different Jimmy Eat World song. Sweetness is being released as DLC in about four or five hours. Also, "Mistaken For Strangers" by The National fits better under indie rock than alternative.

Overall I like your list, despite the lack of Pavement, Modest Mouse and Dinosaur Jr.

Superb! I didn't know this about Jimmy Eat World.

I s'pose you're right about The National. I think I had them as Indie at first...

Like a Stone is a great Audioslave song, but it would probably be boring on some instruments. Maybe Cochise, Show Me How To Live, Set it Off, or Out of Exile. They have a great library to choose from though, so pick w/e you want, I just don't suggest that song.
