Yeah! Ween, P.H., Cream, Flaming Lips, and the Beatles...jesus I would play that game non-stop then.

But thanks for reading my mind, whether it be sarcastic or not.

Up until about six months ago, I don't think you could even find Led Zeppelin or The Beatles on iTunes.

Honestly, I would rather not see those artists on there at all. It would ruin their unblemished images for me. Covers are fine, though. A butchered cover doesn't make me hate the original artist.
The Beatles are still not on iTunes but I know what you mean. I would rather see them on there because I always wanted play along with a bunch of those songs on drums (which I don't play) or lead guitar (which I plain suck at). That's the fanboy in me.
