If by thought you mean variety, then yes. Rock Band is getting to those unknown artists through the Rock Band Network, so it's a start. I think Guitar Hero needs to get more big name bands, though. I don't want to slosh through 3 pop-alternative songs to get to a face-melting song by Metallica or Megadeth.
Then again there is Guitar Hero: Metallica...

I personally have all the games from the rockband and guitar hero franchises... except "band hero", had it... traded it in. In my opinion GH 3, GH Metallica and RB2 are the good games out there right now. Of the songs on the games, Imo... only 70%-80% of the songs are actually good. Id like a Hardcore title for the extremists.... incorporating what GH has been doing with special guests.. but by harmonix. A game consisting of only Slipknot, A7X, and BFMV... around 15 to 20 songs by each group and you would be able to play as the actual groups... The first franchise to create this game would.. in my mind.. be the music game god... for a short time, at least....  
 
I just hate the thought of Alanis Morriset and spongebob........ put that stuff on "band hero" and "lego rockband"

I actually like the variety of RB. I can go from Megadeth to the Jackson 5 or Roy Orbinson to Lacuna Coil.

They simply cannot possibly appeal to everyone. Everyone has different taste in music (and movies, books, cars, computers, etc.). Harmonix kind of has an approach where they have track packs geared towards specific genres however (country, classic rock, metal) but these are all just downloadable content.

I enjoy Cool for Cats, not exactly a song I would play on Rock Band but this is a game that's meant to appeal to a broad range of people ranging from expert players to those that just want to have fun. Some easy songs we may find boring to play may actually be fun for others.

Yeah. Where's all the screamo and nu-metal in those games? For that matter, where is the real metal?

in my opinion no music genre is real anymore they all intertwine....... i saw a group that was nu-metal... but used an auto-tune .... wtf. but yes.. i think too many of the songs are for those who cant play well or the family spectrum. But these franchises have existed long enough to know that if they steer towards the younger audience and ppl who arent familiar with them by now.. they will lose the die hard fans... possibly...

The song selection in Rock band 1/2/lego is absolutely fantastic... The DLC can sometimes be absolutely horrible for a few weeks at a time but theres someone out there that wants it I guarantee it. There is so, so much stuff on RBN almost on a daily basis that i find it hard that anyone would ever complain about the selection of songs in that game. 
 
The problem with the metal/screamy stuff has in that game is that it appeals very little to people that like to sing in the game... I absolutely hate the last few songs in RB2 because they are so focussed towards widdly guitar parts and insane drumming (which for some thats absolutely fine) but if youre playing it with other people and having fun  the last thing you want to do is bust up your throat doing some shitty song thats no fun on the vocals.

They make DLC that sells. If there isn't a lot of metal, it's because metal doesn't sell.

@viper3der: Nah, I'm pretty sure there's more. In the case of those two bands, there's actually two Megadeth albums for sale, as well as two Judas Priest albums, plus a 3-song pack from a live album.   
 
There's also a bunch of metal on RBN, in addition to normal DLC that slips my mind atm.

Well, they have to provide a wide variety of stuff as DLC, in order to keep customers of all types interested in the service. Even if that includes stuff that, maybe, should not exist in a just universe.  
 
In any case, it's pretty amazing that HMX has continually provided DLC support for a game almost two years after its release (three if you're still playing RB1).

Gates of Babylon would be badass to play on the Rockband 3 Keyboard.

Well I think they need more 70's and 80's rock as well. LIke Led Zepplin or more Skynard. Hopefully the new GH coming out will have the songs most people will love. So far the set list looks great but I still say we need STAIRWAY!!!!!!

Agreed. I love the pure vastness and diversity of the Rock Band library. It's pretty crazy.

Well, you want stuff like Bullet for my Valentine and Avenged Sevenfold. 
 
I don't want any of that stuff. I'd rather have some good pop-punk, some good metalcore, and some good alternative. 
 
So, people like and want different things.

I wouldn't mind more Rock n Roll, from the likes of Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis. Or maybe some NWOBHM or some first and second wave punk. 
But you know I don't care because I have the option to play Master of the Universe followed by a spongebob squarepants song.
