I’m still waiting for any Prog rock that isn’t Rush.

And more Rush would be good too.

Several of those RBN songs are prog. Glass Hammer and Marillion both have some songs in there.

Kansas is sorta prog.

Well either they put up all of De-Loused or none at all, or cut out the countless minutes of wankery from Francis the Mute.

Either way, I support putting Mars Volta in, as long as it’s not from an album later than those two.

You are a bad, bad person. Half the tracks off The Bedlam in Goliath would make killer Rock Band songs, and it’s a great album.

Lady Gaga? Awesome! Do you know how many more people(mostly girls) will be exposed to RB in my place alone? And that will give me the opportunity for such dialogue as “alrighty that was awesome…hey you know who else was a great female artist? Janis Joplin. Yeah she’s the one who popularized Piece of my Heart, I like hers better than the Mary J Blige version…” afterward “…love that song, really rocks, hey you know who else rocks?..” puts on Don’t Look Back in Anger - Oasis. Or whatever else is great on RB that won’t scare away the girls.

Still waiting patiently for the “Movie Songs” track pack. Danger Zone from Top Gun, everything from the Lion King - there’s a ton of very recognizable songs that would be very, very popular, and they don’t seem to be going there at all…

Ryan_Markel · 2010-03-09T22:12:16.000Z

I want the entirety of John Mayer’s “Where the Light Is.”

If you like guitar and have heard it, you will understand.

JPR · 2010-03-09T22:19:15.000Z

I’m always amazed at how vehemently I disagree with 95% of song requests in these games. It must be frustrating to actually be responsible for deciding what gets in and what doesn’t. Statistically, you would be almost universally loathed all the time.

ZekeDMS · 2010-03-09T22:28:50.000Z

My penis isn’t racist enough to like John Mayer I guess. It just finds him unbelievably lame and douchey.

Then again, so does the rest of me. So, seconded on what JPR said.

Bah. The James Gang “Walk Away” is a 2010 re-record and lacks all the vibrancy and urgency of the original. Much worse than “Hair of the Dog” in this regard.

Also, the Duke of Gravity has bare feet, no shoes at all. Not sure why I didn’t notice that until now.

Shadarr:

Wait quieter.

Oh, I see, Freedom of Speech only applies to you!

Dufresne · 2010-03-10T07:45:39.000Z

Yes. Your first amendment rights are being trampled because someone requested that you stop being annoying in a forum thread. Alert the press.

If there isn’t a corollary to Godwin’s Law involving the “freedom of speech” card, there should be.

I’m pretty sure Midnight was kidding around.

Dufresne · 2010-03-10T09:21:44.000Z

My mistake if he was. But I didn’t think Shadarr was, and he was responding to that, so…

Screw it. I’m going to make posts like an Elcor from now on.

Ha ha! I could be wrong.

Isn’t there a Dream Theater track available?

Dufresne · 2010-03-10T09:33:56.000Z

Rorschach:

Several, but I wouldn’t call Dream Theater the same kind of music as, say, King Crimson or Yes. I believe they’re “officially” considered to be “progressive metal.”

sinfony · 2010-03-10T09:39:10.000Z

I would probably reacquire Rock Band if they put out Close to the Edge.

Midnight_Son · 2010-03-11T03:31:31.000Z

Lady Gaga: Would you hit it?

In the face with one of my old Xplorer controllers.
