Why doesnt rockband have the classic queen or areosmith or for that matter hendrix? Why cant we sing rat pack and jackson? Beatles? Elvis? When I think of the great songs of all time not one shows up in the game. you want me to realy be excited? Give me the songs that geeks like me, who buy 150 buck games, know. give me bohemian rhapsody. Give me beatles and hound dog.

    There are so far 90 songs that have been made available for the game. Many of them are absolute classics. If you can't find anything in there that you like, then you are a moron with no taste in music. It's just that simple.

    Also I'm sick of retards requesting songs that, while fantastic songs, would not work at all in the game. Just think for 5 seconds about how "fun" it would be to play bohemian rhapsody, for anybody but the vocalist.

    Also, there is already a thread for this that you've ignored, just like there have already been threads for the other 3 subjects you made new threads about. Overall, your existence is a waste of oxygen.

    Why in the flying FUCK would you want the Rat Pack or Elvis? Do you realize that, while this is good music, it would be godawful for Rock Band? And seriously, as has been stated, 90 songs. Hell I love about 75 of them, and that's a damn good ratio.

    Geeks like you may buy $150 games, but those of us with good music taste are spending $170 and getting a kick-ass game.

    As mono or someone said in IRC, Bohemian rhapsody should just have 4 mics.

    I'm behind the idea of multiple instruments, don't get me wrong. What I'm against is this being mandatory, plus the fact that most people only have one or two mics.

    The Beatles? In Rock Band?

    Man, they're not even in iTunes. MJ just looooooves his rights.

    Yeah, was about to remark on that. Good luck getting the Beatles on something other than a CD.

    Queen wouldn't work in Rock Band because the guy on mic would invariably fail. Fucking nobody can do Freddie Mercury right.
