Which song would you want in Guitar Hero / Rock Band?

[Tonimata]

Isn't that on Rock band 2, though?

 

[LogicNProportion]

Fear of the Dark by Iron Maiden

That stands out but there's soooooooooo many others...

 

[Fightgarr]

There are a whole host of songs by At the Drive-In that I would love to see on one of these games (I still haven't had a chance to play through One-Armed Scissor on Guitar Hero: World Tour). I tihnk some Simon & Garfunkel would be cool for one of those games. I don't really listen to a lot of music I feel would work very well for these games and I listen to a good deal of Hip-Hop which (as demonstrated by me getting 100% on the Beastie Boys by just talking about why rapping doesn't work on Rock Band instead of even attempting to do anything anything like the lyrics) doesn't work all that well.
And when are they going to add the violin to the band?

 

[D_987]

-M4 Part 2 by The Faunts
-Jesus of Suburbia by Green Day
-Song 2 by Blur
-Shut Me Up by Mindless Self Indulgence

Unfortunately, none of these will ever happen.

Song 2 will be on Lego Rock Band. =p

*groans* Lego Rock Band...my god I forgot about that shit...Harmonix has sunk to the same low as Red Octane.

 

[D_987]

One more suggestion: Da Vinci's Notebook: Internet Porn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxYVBNhJ3pc

EDIT: oh, heck, I forgot game songs and weird anime and movies. There's so much more to want!

Well, for a start, I want "Y'know" by Priss Asagiri: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQZ1Kb6cWZw

Also the theme from Das Boot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ9d7hVo3Ro

 

[The_Deleted]

Wasted Time: Skid Row would be epic for vocals.
Kickstart My Heart: Motley Crue for the whole band.

And Enter Sandman is on at least three of these games.

[Bernzz]

Crawling, Linkin Park.

I LIKE LINKIN PARK OKAY

But you could you scream like frontman Chester?

Given Up by Linkin Park. Can you do an 18 second long sustained scream like Chester?

I doubt you did search. I've seen it before.

Although I will indulge myself in a most quality topic.

Audioslave, Aquabats, Blink-182, more Dream Theater, Daft Punk, and Vampire Weekend. Fun for the game and good music, why not?

 

[The_Deleted]

System of A Down could definitely carry their own game.
As long as we didn't get too much of the last two albums.
