The thing I don't like about Rock Band- #1 is how the make people look that are the characters-they all look freaky...and the other thing is half of the songs I never heard of-and when I hear them-I can't stand some of them...and I wonder who picked out the music.
On Guitar Hero 4-they just announced they will add "Beat it" to it.

I think it's an interesting mix of songs. Some artists they have their big hits and others they have lesser known tracks. Only two songs I'm not familliar with is the Sonic Youth and Devo songs.

Sonic Youth's "Teen Age Riot" is off their 1988 album "Daydream Nation." Decent song.......

I just played Rock Band for the first time tonight. "Afterlife" by Avenged Sevenfold. OK. So I played "easy". Got a 77% on it.
My daughter's friends think I'm cool!

As I've mentioned before, I'm a huge fan of Guitar Hero. You gain a new appreciation for tunes you've never paid much attention to in the past. If I had to say my fav tune to master, it would be "One" by Metallica on Guitar Hero III. But there are so many actually, I'm currently playing GH: Aerosmith.

I never thought anything could beat my love of guitar hero...until I played drums on ROCK BAND.
I have to say that Epic by Faith No More is a great song to drum along to and knocks GH3's Number of The Beast off the top of my "fave songs to play videogames to" list...
