    Hey guys, I had a funny thought, and I wish to share with you all. 
     
    Let's make a list of Rock Band titles we would rather see than Green Day: Rock Band. Just to be clear, I got no hate for Green Day, this is just for funsies. ^_^

    I'm pretty sure the only band based music game I'll buy from now on would have to be Judas Priest or Iron Maiden.

    This, because the songpack was a poor try. It was poorly mixed (the Live Album sounds way better) and had shitty charts.

    nobody deserves a dedicated rock band imo. i will admit that the beatles rock band is great fun, but i'd just rather there be one big hub, where they release whole libraries for certain acts.

    The only bands I'd definitely buy a Rock Band game of over Green Day at this point are Muse or a version of AC/DC that isn't questionable live tracks. I doubt either will happen in the near future, but I'd enjoy them. Whether a band is more "deserving" is not a trait that's going to get me to put down money on a game, quite frankly, and I have absolutely no interest in buying games focused on any other bands listed so far.
     
    Beyond that, I'd be fine if we did away with band-focused Rock Band/Guitar Hero games, and just focused on more DLC/improvements of the standard products.

    Quoted for truth. 
     
    I'd much rather have a Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Judas Priest, or KISS game than a Green Day game. The first two will never happen, though, the Stones game would have to be very selective, and the KISS game would have NOTHING to do with the music. If there weren't already band games for Aerosmith (although they really dropped the ball on that one, so I wouldn't mind getting a Rock Band redux), Metallica (personally, IMO, the most fulfilling for its band (Beatles was better but should've been bigger), or AC/DC (there's not many songs I'd really want to play that weren't on the Live at Donington Pack), I'd want those too. Also, if it weren't for DLC overexposure, The Who, Queen (although that's only barely overexposure) and Iron Maiden would make good games too.
     
    Honestly, though, there's plenty on Green Day Rock Band that I'm looking forward to playing. They basically nailed my ideal setlist for it, and it's going to be a lot of fun on drums and vocals. The guitar won't be nearly as much fun, and bass will largely be more fun than usual, but between the two that guitar will be the least desired instrument. They deserve a band game more than Van Halen, anyways (not because Van Halen's a worse band, but because they have a thicker catalogue of quality songs.) Van Halen was plagued by not having enough quality songs (even if the ones that are quality kick the crap out of Green Day.) I'd say Guns N' Roses would have the same problem; it'd be better to do a "best of", or in the case of Guns N' Roses, just release Appetite For Destruction and November Rain.

    No more ACDC please. Playing Let There Be Rock is like forced masochism in RB2.
     
    With that said, *insert name of favourite band here* should have their own game.

    Seriously, as an ACDC fan I'd also love a "proper" RB game about them but I don't see it happen.
     
    The only band I'd buy a RB game solely dedicated to would be Led Zeppelin. They have vast library of songs that are catchy to listen to and fun (and even challenging) to play.

    Let's talk about Pink Floyd. I don't get why people would want a RB game about them. I love many of their songs but quite frankly they wouldn't be fun to play apart from the occasional solo.

    Considering that is the only "rock" band I'll listen to, that's my pick.
     
    Honestly release Funk Band and make my goddamn life.

    I think Pink Floyd has a pretty good catalog for a Rock Band game. I mean I know they have songs like Speak To Me/Breathe, Any Color you Like, Pigs on the Wing, but a lot of their other stuff that is more involved with all the band members would be awesome. Songs like Young Lust, Sheep, Dogs, High Hopes, Time, Eclipse, Money, Have a Cigar (!!!), Astronomy Domine, etc

    I could be here for a long while listing bands more deserving than Green Day but the only band I would buy a branded Rock Band for is Queen.  Maybe Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, or Tool but I don't see those ever actually happening.

    @pslough93: The Rush game might make me cry of boredom. I don't want a game of just random awesome charts, I want some good music on there too. 
     
    Muse might be interesting, but I don't think their catalog is really thick enough.
