    Gordon Lightfoot

    A four-pack of songs from the "Sundown" album would be awesome.

    Sundown
    Carefree Highway
    The Watchman's Gone
    Seven Island Suite

    "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" not so much.

    See, this is where you lost me. I am not ashamed to say that I LOVE the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, all 6 plus minutes and lack of chorus.

    Oh, don't get me wrong! I love the song! ("Never Too Close" is another good cut from the "Summertime Dream" album that's on) I'm just not sure if it would work well in a music game because of its repetition.

    I have to agree with LeCH24 about "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." Great song, but the band would get bored in a hurry, playing the same verse over and over.

    Otherwise, I'd be all over a Lightfoot pack. Beyond Sundown, how about "Cold on the Shoulder," and then maybe some softer stuff like "Tattoo"?

    Earlier this year I took a road trip through Arizona, and got to drive the actual Carefree Highway that inspired Lightfoot's song. Cool experience.
    It's all right. Everything will work out fine.
    It's all right. We're going to the end of the line!

    Keyboards make me want this more now.

    Any Gordon Lightfoot would be cool. Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald would be my first pick. I know people think that song would be boring to play, but it does have keys and an awesome guitar riff
    I am a drummer and yes, it wouldn`t be the most exciting thing to play (would probably be ranked 1 dot for drums) but I love that song and I would still play it A LOT.
    Rock Band needs:
    [] Tool
    [] Genesis
    [] Pink Floyd
    [] Led Zeppelin
    [] Bathory
    [3] More Anvil
    [21] More Megadeth
    [28] More RHCP
