Tell Harmonix how to Rock with your Rock Band song suggestions

by Jem Alexander { Jun 7th 2007 at 9:35AM }

Those of you who are keeping an eye on the official Rock Band website will notice something new today. Harmonix is requesting that their fans, fervent and obsessive as we are about our virtual music playing tastes, send them song suggestions for their upcoming title.

We hope Harmonix is ready for what will no doubt be an unyileding barrage of track names crammed into their inbox. This is a great opportunity for us who found the Guitar Hero II tracklist lacking to make the songs available for Rock Band really stand out. So do your part and submit some classic tunes for us to rock out to when the game is released at Christmas. Once you've done that, post a comment and let us know what it was you suggested. We're curious.

If you feel like suggesting some songs by Jimmy Eat World, Bloc Party, Arcade Fire, Snow Patrol or Something Corporate then go for it. Transparent? Maybe. An opportunity we'd be silly to pass up? Definitely.

#1 your coldplay choice probabley wont make it because harmonix doesnt want to be responsible for people trying to slit their wrists during the game because of depressing music.

My suggestion would be song 2 by blur

lolol, Jimmy Eat World ftw.

but what about The Offspring, SWEET (cmon, ballroom blitz kicks ass), Ramones, Sum 41, etc @__@

I suggested some heavy stuff seeing as there's slim pickin's for that kind of stuff in these games. Any of the metal songs they DO seem to put on these games, end up being half-assed or done so poorly that it isn't worth having on there. Which makes getting metal on there even harder, because they will see the bad feedback on those songs and conclude that it's the genre that's the problem and not the quality.

A Life Once Lost
Lamb of God
Unearth
Meshuggah

Don't think any of these were in the past games...

Do The Devil and Gretschy, both by The Amazing (Royal) Crowns
10 AM Automatic - The Black Keys
Souljacker, Part I - The Eels
Waiting Room - Fugazi
Boom Swagger Boom - The Murder City Devils
Black Jack - Mos Def
anything by Rodrigo y Gabriela... those would be some hard tracks.
