Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and Rock Band

[ledbowman]

Okay, I so did not realize until just now that this list was recently updated by Rolling Stone. As much as my opinion usually aligns with theirs, I have to admit that some of these 2000s additions are questionably unremarkable ("American Idiot", "Since U Been Gone").

17 - "Purple Haze", 201 - "Hey Joe", 379 - "The Wind Cries Mary" by Jimi Hendrix Experience...might as well color those in as well, since they're coming via DLC and other Hendrix was colored already.

I was assuming that we were getting the original, UK versions of Experienced when I put them in.

Franz Ferdinand made the list? Thats awesome and unexpected... However I still don't have any real respect for Rolling Stone.

[MurphyRock]

not a single song I like within the first 250...

I wouldn't recommend buying any Rock Band games, because you apparently don't like rock music.

I look at Rock Band's huge DLC library, and I think "Gosh, what a collection of great music!" Then I look at the 500 greatest rock songs list, and I think "Gosh, Harmonix sure has a lot of work ahead of them, they'd better hurry up and get on it!"

Yeah, I'm hoping that they'll be able to fill this list too.

How? I'm just saying I don't like any of the first 250 songs?

Honestly, because you have to ask that question. That's why.

No idea why you're playing Rock Band in the first place >_>

Oh, god, guys, don't turn this thread into an argument over musical tastes.

Just so everybody knows that may not be aware, the list wasn't done by the magazine itself, they sent ballots out to a bunch of people in the industry, from musicians to producers to whoever else. So you'd have to blame all those people instead.

But... Rolling Stone is a popular magazine. And it's cool to hate popular things, right? So, why wouldn't I.... I'm confused...
