RB actual DLC:

Still Alive
Skullcrusher Mountain
Re: Your Brains

Rock Band Network:
Creepy doll (RG Studios)
the Future Soon ( I think HMX did it for a RBN demo… not sure, but its confirmed either way)
and now Ikea

I look forward to see how awesome Ikea turns out Sage

We just announced that we’re bringing Ikea to RBN, and I’m unbelievably excited. I’ll be working on it personally, courtesy of my superiors’ knowledge of my musical tastes, and I intend to do JoCo the justice he deserves. (And speaking of well-done Rock Band songs, make sure to buy Skullcrusher Mountain and Re: Your Brains through the legitimate Rock Band Music Store, and get Creepy Doll via RBN courtesy of RG Studios!)

Can’t wait for Re: Your Brains, the Future Soon, Creepy Doll, and hopefully many more on RB

Re: Your Brains comes next week!

PAX 3-Pack featuring JoCo, MC Frontalot & Paul and Storm! Plus a three pack from another group playing here at PAX, Freezepop.

Skllcrusher Mountain and Still Alive (sung by GlaDoS) are already in Rock Band as DLC. Skullcrusher mtn. Costs $1 and still alive is free

I am kind of pissed at no Warrior Robot Revenge in your poll, though.

Here’s the press release:

But in any case, buying RB2 is way worth it! You can export (almost) all your RB1 songs to still play them, all your DLC will still work, and there are a lot of tiny improvements throughout the game you’ll appreciate.

I will personally buy 300 copies of every JoCo song available if they are not doing well, sales-wise. There are probably more fans that play Rock Band than you think, especially because of the epicness of Skullcrusher Mountain. Also, people are playing these games now more than ever, IMO.

You say you’re ‘working on making it happen right now’. Out of curiosity, coming from someone else who’s interested in getting songs on RBN, what is it you’re doing at this point to prepare?

Is the chosen song going to be the track charted live for the “Harmonix Rock Band Network Panel” at the Penny Arcade Expo?

Also, I hope they would have a similar mechanism as the upcoming Beatles Rock Band, to allow multiple vocal lines. If that was possible then When You Go would be one of -=THE=- best Rock Band songs for `impossible` vocals.

And honestly, if people will be able to learn to sing the vocals for Paperback Writer, then When You Go might not be so impossible after all.

Sorry, I didn’t mean that Rock Band would be a bad or boring game. I just personally find such games as RB and Guitar Hero pretty boring, and like to play real guitar more than videogameguitar.

Overhead would also work well, there’s even a segment at around 1:41 for a guitar solo.

De-Evolving is good, too.

And I’d kill a man for Skymall.

Now having access to the source files (CC donation for flash drive with JoCo looks back), I’d love to try again, now having the chance to hear only the guitar. Isolating the track means I can write a better chart, and be happier with my final product.

And I’ll do it for free, short recognition from you. And maybe a chance to play it with you sometime… on XBL… or at some home… or at a concert… maybe???

Dance Soterios Johnson, Dance – I love the drums for this song. Pretty catchy lyrics will challenging vocals.

I’m Your Moon – Another song with great vocals and the guitar sounds pretty challenging.

Mandelbrot Set – As DR said, Upbeat tempo and the songs feel balanced around all instruments.

Betty and Me – Another song with “Interesting” lyrics. I just wonder if you’ll being playing the guitar or banjo in the game. Banjo sound pretty fun though.

Of course I’ll buy whatever song you put out of course. I remember when Skullcrusher Mountain came out i had to go to Target and buy 2000 points so i can play it and I’m kinda glad i did. Its one of the songs I like to sing with my friends when we have a little to much to drink.

A Talk With George
Better
Betty and Me
Blue Sunny Day*
Curl*
I Crush Everything
I’m Your Moon
Madelaine
My Monkey*
Octopus
Space Doggity
That Spells DNA

*Would be significantly improved by multiple vocal lines (like in The Beatles: Rock Band), though I’d like to see the songs even if multiple vocals are not possible.

I left off the following due to a (possible) lack of instrumentation. I may be wrong about them though, and if there is enough of all four parts I say go for them.

Always the Moon (no drums that I can hear)
Furry Old Lobster (no bass that I can hear)
Tom Cruise Crazy (no bass that I can hear)
When You Go (obviously no bass, guitar, or drums)

And one more with a different issue:

The Presidents (needs updating for factual mistake–and while you’re at it, Obama)

Curl
The Presidents
SkyMall !!
Kenesaw Mountain Landis
Dance Soterious Johnson Dance
A Talk With George
I Hate California
I’m Your Moon
That Spells DNA

Playing Rock Band with your friends (or by yourself) and playing a real instrument are two COMPLETELY different things, and I really wish people would understand that. Honestly, with that kind of logic…

I don’t play Call of Duty, I have real guns.
I don’t Madden, I own a football.
I don’t play Tony Hawk, I have a real skateboard.
I don’t play Gran Turismo, I have a car.

…and so on and so forth. Remember, some people just want to have fun with their friends, not everyone wants to start a real band.

I do however think that First of May should be if not solely for the entertainment value of watching people sing it who have never heard the song before.

The only song not on that list that I think would be essential for RB is De-Evolving. I can’t believe you left that out, actually – the guitar part would lend itself so well to the game.
