WISHLIST: Future Rock Band DLC

Category: Feature

The Beatles

Rock Band’s monopolization of my free time has extended to me day dreaming about the game when I’m not even playing. This happens at work, on the way to work, in the bathroom, while I’m playing other games, before falling asleep, on dates, in the middle of pleasuring Adriana Lima and while trying to uncatch whatever the Hilton/Lohan three-way may have given me…

Anyway, here’s a list of song packs I’d like to see offered:

The British Invasion Pack:

  • The Beatles - Help!
  • The Kinks - You Really Got Me Now
  • The Rolling Stones - Paint it Black

The New British Invasion Pack:

  • The Arctic Monkeys – I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor
  • Bloc Party - Helicopter
  • Franz Ferdinand – Take Me Out

The Beatles Pack:

  • Come Together
  • Doctor Robert
  • Get Back
  • I’m Only Sleeping
  • Revolution
  • Two of Us

The Metal Pack:

  • Tool - Schism
  • System of a Down – Aerials
  • Disturbed – Down with the Sickness

The Radiohead Pack:

  • I Might be Wrong
  • Anyone Can Play Guitar
  • Paranoid Android

The 60’s Rock Pack:

  • Cream – Sunshine of Your Love
  • Jimi Hendrix – All Along the Watchtower
  • Led Zepplin – Whole Lotta Love

Other Songs:

  • Green Day - American Idiot
  • Alice Cooper - School’s Out
  • Nickelback - Rock Star

I tried to pick the songs based on what I think is appropriate (not too long, generally decent language, and the proper instruments), what songs are reasonably commercial, and what I just plain think is a good song. Feel free to disagree below, or suggest a few for the sequel to this article.

    I’m not much of a Nickelback fan, but I think it’s a good tune and one that would be fun to play with a few people.

    Has Harmonix announced a series of “British Invasion” packs? If not, I’m sure they’ll steal the idea.

    There hasn’t been one announced, and I don’t believe anything on my list is on the rumoured list (titles that showed up in the code for existing DLC).

    In retrospect,”Paint it Black” may have come up a little too late to be considered part of the invasion, but I love the song, so I don’t care.

    Also, I’m sure some of these songs have already appeared in Guitar Hero. I don’t care about that either.

    I just bought this game, and I really want to be able to play:

    SONG2 by Blur!!!!!!!!

    That would sweet! My neighbors would hate me!
