What band-centric title should Harmonix make next?

[Stark3y]

I'd really like to see Pink Floyd Rockband on the market, anyone have other ideas?

[Dangimarocker]

I doubt we see any ever again...
but i'd love to see a Eagles Rock Band...

Does it come with it's own bong peripheral?

I like the Eagles, too, but man...that would be a very laid back setlist.

I dont want to see another band specific game. I want to have all my songs together and I dont see another "greenday rock band" situation happening.

I would say none.

Big disc based track packs that are exportable and perhaps playable as a stand alone on the current engine, sure... but I think the days of an economically viable band centric game have sailed into the music game sunset.

If HMX could figure out how to handle characters/avatars as DLC, could that solve this problem? Because then the "track pack" is a bunch of song files AND actual representations of the licensed band members. Then, you can maybe have a better chance of selling it to the band that "this is their own game" in a way.

The animations are stock. Then you just need to expose the models on top of them. No idea how this would work with online play (maybe if band-centric skin not present, just show the Duke of Gravity or something stock.)

Or would this require a title update every time characters were being added?

My question from the livestream Harmonix did a few months ago

Q: Do you folks at HMX think that there is a possibility for another bandcentric game? Yay or Nay? – Dragoninforcer
A: Jessa: I propose that we release hundreds of band-centric titles with about three tracks each.
Aaron: Jessa, you’re fired. (lol) No, we don’t have anything like that planned so we can focus on all the awesome DLC for you guys.

Taking away the party pooping fact that it will probably never happen again due to financial reasons, I'll answer the question anyway.

Genesis. I love the entire discography (even the live stuff), so they couldn't go wrong with the song selections for me.

Economically viable? Surely not. Still, I can dream.

I like Conan's suggestion...even though I'm not a fan of band specific games (and agree that the time has passed for those type of games).

Okay, never going to happen, but I'll throw one in just for fun...

Meatloaf: Rock Band. It would feature all three Bat Out Of Hell albums, plus a select few singles sprinkled in from his less successful '80's offerings. Think about it: Great keys and harmonies. Pro guitar and bass for each track just because. Then, in the background, it will pretty much be Meatloaf riding a motorcycle and breaking through brick walls while singing...on every song...
You know you'd buy it!
