A little less classic, A little more modern

killswitch engage is an older band now?

Killswitch isn't an older band... any band that formed after 1988 is still a new band, lol.

Relative to GH releases yes

Yeah, had a few beers last night, slipped KSE in there accidentally.

I'd love to see a KSE track in RB, but I think someone already touched on the fact that the vocals would be 'challenging' (damn near impossible) and the overall effect of the song would be very easily ruined if hte singing wasnt nearly close.

So far HMX have go the music spot on, and I have every faith in them to continue doing so.

Can't think of any great J.E.W. songs for the game off the top of my head, I just like the band though.

Pain, Sweetness, Bleed American, off the top of my head.

"My suggestions would be Green Day, Blink182, Foo Fighters, Yellowcard, STP, 311, Incubus, The Strokes, Live, Fuel, Jimmy Eat World, Muse, Smashing Pumpkins"

I agree with that. Some people may not like it but bands like Blink 182 and Green Day should be in, they've had an impact and their songs are pretty recognizable.

As much as some of the songs in the above post really piss me off, I don't mind green day. I've liked them ever since I heard When I Come Around back in like '96 or something.

Someone on these boards mentioned that Jesus of Suburbia would be a good song for Rock Band and I agree. It's a long song but has enough variations to keep people interested and it wont hurt Rock Band sales to say "including songs from band x, band y, green day, and band z".

i totally agree with you. the bands from the 90's-early 2000's belong in here, too.I'd push for Green Day's Having A Blast in here and I'm really gonna push for Bullet With Butterfly Wings by Smashing Pumpkins to be in here. This is just coming from a 13 year-old. I really want the classic stuff in here too but, we just need like some Pumpkins and Green Day in here ot truly make it rock. Nirvana is way too overrated.

Dude, if it wasn't for Nirvana all those bands you just named wouldn't have had a chance. Yet without bands like mudhoney and big time thanks to the Melvins (their biggest influence.) Though I do agree with you for the most part on what bands you want on. Yet I still don't like how Green day just turned their backs on the CBGB fans and went and made pop.

I don't mind having a few older songs in GH or RB, but there's a problem when everytime me and my friends play GH2 we play the same 5-10 songs everytime. I'm not a guy of one genre either; I love diversity, so an even amount of songs of every era would be nice, instead of one era dominating a game.
