Songs you want added to Guitar Hero/Rock Band.

[Drake the Dragonheart]

What songs would you add to either guitar hero or rock band?

Now whenever I hear a song that is in one of those games or I would like to be in either, I catch myself imagining what the notes would be playing it. anyone else do this?

Spoiler: firehouse

Spoiler: rock on the radio

Spoiler: helpless

Spoiler: dragonforce

Spoiler: soldiers of the wasteland

Spoiler: heart of a dragon

Spoiler: where dragons rule

Spoiler: flyleaf - fully alive

while we are here, conversely, what songs would you see removed? for me it would be any country song. it's rock band, not redneck band! my friend was trying to tell me they couldn't use just one genre. that's crap. there are entire bands they haven't even touched yet, or just barely used. one maybe two songs.

Never played either game, but I'll make the request all the same.

Spoiler: Infected - 12 Stones

Spoiler: We Are One - 12 Stones

Spoiler: Don't stop me now - Queen

Queen

Oh, I'd go as far as to say 'all of Queen'. The Beatles got their own game. Are there enough songs of Queen for theirs? I would at least try, with bonus tracks of any band that sounds significantly Queen-like.

This EDIT: I just went into the Rock Band store, there's a TON of Queen here.

OT: I am not a musician so I don't really know any specific songs that I would want since songs that I thought sounded like they'd be fun to play on the drums (my Rock Band instrument of choice, especially now that I FINALLY got the cymbal attachment) are not always fun and songs that I never thought would be all that much fun have become some of my favorite songs.

Basically, I want more drum songs that let you do more than just keep a beat. While keeping the beat is a huge part of drums, songs that add even just a few differences for certain parts of the song or songs that change up the drums while still keeping the beat are the songs I want.

As to removing songs, there's really nothing I would say has to go. While there are plenty of songs that I will never play (Disney pop, some of that techno stuff, most country, etc.), I'm of the mind that there is plenty of room for all in the game.

I'm still really bitter about Rock Band: Japan being cancelled. I don't want to flood this thread with a bunch of J-Rock music videos but god Dammit Harmonix, you people are making me do this:

Spoiler: A 10 song sample playlist encompassing the kind of stuff I would have wanted in Rock Band: Japan

Spoiler: Seikima II / Fire After Fire

Spoiler: Dir en Grey / The Final

Spoiler: Moi Dix Mois / Unmoved

Spoiler: Babymetal / Megitsune

Spoiler: X Japan / Silent Jealousy

Spoiler: The Gazette / Bathroom

Spoiler: Kiryu / Sakuragarami

Spoiler: Guitar Wolf / Jet Generation

Spoiler: Detroit Metal City / Satsugai

Spoiler: Gackt / Redemption

Of course if Rock Band: Japan actually did happen, they would probably use Endless Rain by X Japan and overload the track list with stuff by Miyavi and Lar'c en Ceil...

As for something less bitter, I'm also that person who just wants to get Stairway to Heaven the Hell onto one of these games. At this point it feels like something that's been teased since the beginning but nobody got around to licensing it yet.
