    This is for thing that just wouldn't fit in rock band like missing vocals or drums or something of those sorts!

    For me its the entire album by Death From Above 1979 - You're are a Woman, I'm a Machine. I just really love those bass lines and vocals + The drums would be fun too. But srsly No Lead Guitar? Ya Rite!

    "Time" by Pink Floyd, because I don't think they'd put it on due to the looooong intro.


    "The Great Gig in the Sky" by Pink Floyd, because those vocals would be impossible.

    "Slip Inside This House" by 13th Floor Elevators, because not enough people know of them.

    Many of the Doors songs because there's too much keyboard (they need a keyboard).

    "Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry, because it seems like they never go back further than the 60's.

    "America, Fuck Yeah" by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, because it's rated Teen.

    Oh god... the list of songs that you could write down here that would be awesome in GH or Rockband games...

    I listen to so
    many songs and go 'OMG THIS SONG WOULD BE AWESOME IN GUITAR HERO!!!'

    There are alot of songs by Hammerfall that would be awesome songs that may rival the Throughout fire and flames song by dragon force. I think more mainstream songs would be good. Like the Living end, Creed, Karnivool, POD, System of a Down... Stuff like that would be hella fun imo...

    Some Emerson, Lake and Palmer would be amazing. Specifically Lucky Man. Although the crazy keyboard solo at the end renders the song essentially "never gonna happen".

    In general, more prog rock would be nice. Some epic 10 minute King Crimson would make be a happy man.

    Some Breaking Benjamin tunes would be pretty cool.  Especially since Ben (the vocalist/guitarist/frontman) is an avid gamer.  I would enjoy playing Polyamorous, Shallow Bay, Breath, Diary of Jane, and Blow Me Away (from the Halo 2 soundtrack :)

    Some Collective Soul and Three Days Grace would be fun too.

    Killer Queen was in GH1, (it was a cover of course) and AC/DC is in the game with Let there be rock, so it's possible.

    My question is, do you ever listen to a song and start going over how it would play in Rock Band?  I've found myself mentally picturing it.  I'd say, "This could be a good Rock Band song."

    i'd have to say prolly the old school original power rangers themes and also the old theme for the teenage mutant ninja turtles maybe. alot of gaming music coes to mind but that prolly won't happen either just cuz it seems the glados song was prolly the only time we will ever see that kind of stuff on rockband(i'm not counting the halo theme cuz that's w/ guitar hero so it's separate) but i hope that i am wrong though. some stabbing westward would be cool to play as well as maybe some adema and maybe even collective soul or some bush.

    Agree on this pick, it is from a short-lived band including Eric Clapton and Duane Allman. However, I don´t see why it couldn´t be included..be positive and cross your fingers :P

    Slayer - Angel of Death

    Slayer - South of Heaven
    These songs are a little too heavy to go in a game with a T rating, but you never know, they got Raining Blood in GH3.
    I also would like to see Cult of Personality, but i have this feeling in my mind that it wont happen because they've already re-recorded it especially for GH3, unless they used the same master track for RB...i dunno.
    Opeth - The Grand Conjuration would be really awesome too.
