JTull, Sonic Youth, Dylan (!), Talking Heads, all good. Still not getting it though.

It would be way, way, way too hard to get those artists' permission to use their songs. I am extremely surprised that Bob Dylan allowed anything to be licensed to a video game, but perhaps he is growing sentimental in his old age. It's actually rather indicative of a sellout to see some musicians on that list. And most of the permission is yielded by the actual artists, not the record companies. 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.

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.

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.

Nirvana - Drain You
Jane's Addiction - Mountain Song
System of a Down - Chop Suey

Sweet.

They could have picked a better Social D song though.

Reach for the Sky would have been awesome. It's my favorite Social D song anyways.

Reach For The Sky would be a good one. I also like alot of songs of the White Light, White Heat, White Trash album.

I also think it would be cool if Rock Band came out with some covers for DLC.
I think Social D's version of Under My Thumb and Ring Of Fire would be fun to play.
