    Pretty self explainable. Post your choices here!

    Edit- Like Kush has said, please give reasons to why you think your choice should be in Rock Band.

    How about the whole fucking album of "OK Computer" for that matter? That has been an omission that has been hard to forgive each passing week from Harmonix.

    How about all of Radiohead's catalogue? This rapes at least 90 percent of the songs featured in both Rock Band 1 & 2. They can get Snoop Dogg in, but not Radiohead?

    Exactly. I want ALL of it, because ALL of it is amazing.  OK Computer, The Bends, In Rainbows, Kid A, and Pablo Honey are the top albums in order from me. Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief are also great, too.

    Does that include After the Ordeal? Because you've read my mind, and therefore cannot say that one.

    How about Punky's Whips, fans of Zappa know why this would be the best song the play regardless of instrument.

    EDIT: And I would have loved to see "His Last Voyage" by Gentle Giant, proggy goodness. So many people would be confused by their roles, it would be a psychological battle to the finish.

    Let's post more than just links to song, or embedded videos...give reasons for why you want to see a song/songs in Rock Band. I would personally love to see some Kings of Leon come out as DLC. I'm a huge fan and think they have some songs that would be fun for the entire band to play, even the bassist. :P

    i'd love to get some dream theater in rock band, maybe Strange Deja Vu on Scenes from a Memory, or the whole album.
    And definately the entire Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence SONG, not the whole album.

    Yes Please :) Outside of that the only songs I could ask for are Metropolis Pt.1 from Images and Words and Honor Thy Father from Train of Thought.

    The SFIV Theme. Why? Because it loops in my head continuously now and I must share the pain/ ecstasy of that experience with everyone. Plus, you know, I've been waiting for this moment all my life, it's my destiny.

    To add further, Sultans of Swing is a great song on all parts, and the guitar solo is particularly amazing. The vocals aren't hard, but they are very unique and classic, and the bass line is very prominent in the band's sound. Also, the drum line would probably be difficult, mainly because it is just an superb showcasing in rhythm in rock. All parts of the song are great.

    Also, I would love to see Led Zeppelin, but that is never going to happen. Pink Floyd? Hopefully.  At the very least, some Jethro Tull and Yes. We need more prog rock in Rock Band, and those two bands are legendary.

    Yep, I think we have. Incubus would fit Rock Band so well, no matter what album the songs are from. Plus, they are my favorite band. :D

    It is a good song, but I'd much rather have some stuff from S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and A Crow Left of the Murder.

    I agree with both of Megalon's choices.

    REO Speedwagon and Styx are in desperate need as well. (Even though they are rumored since there upcoming tour is sponsored by Rock Band)

    I absolutely agree with this on top of my Roadrunner United choice.  I've been dying for "Sultans of Swing" ever since the first game.  Unfortunately, I was also praying forever for "China Grove"...and then they put it on fucking GUITAR HERO DS!!!  ARE  YOU  FUCKING  SHITTING  ME?!

    Oh, and I also think that the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theme is essential.  If someone doesn't put that on one of the rhythm games eventually, I'm going to crush their heads into grapes.  The guitar riff is sweet, it's a fucking kick ass show, and the guitar riff is sweet!!!

    *EDIT*

    RHCP, Karmum..."Creep" was absolutely NO fun to play.  I hope to God they keep the rest of their catalogue as far away from Rock Band as possible.  =  P

    Verdugo, you rock ass, sir...strictly for the inclusion of "Mea Culpa".  I would love to see some more Protest in Guitar Hero or even Rock Band at some point.  The fact that anything from Fortress hasn't appeared on either of them just drives me INSANE!!!  "Sequoia Throne", "Bone Marrow", or "Wretch" would be AWESOME!!!

    Creep, despite being arguably Radiohead's most well known song, is actually one of their weakest songs (along with the whole album Pablo Honey, in my opinion). They have a great catalog of work, and Creep hardly shows that. My Iron Lung, the downloadable Radiohead song, is FAR better to play and listen to; I especially love singing it.

    I want some fun catchy music, not 7 minutes of pretentious prog shit, not an infinity of solos, not something that's only liked because no one actually likes it, just something I can play and enjoy.

    I listened to all their albums, and I can't think of almost any song they have made that would be "fun".

    Then again, the songs on Rock Band 2 that I think are "fun" are "Aqualung", "That's What You Get", and "Nine in the Afternoon", as well as "Almost Easy" and "Colony of Birchmen"...so what the fuck do I know?  lol
