For anyone who doesn't know what rock band is, it's guitar hero but the original team's working on it because they lost the IP for guitar hero.

Holy crap, a response. This thread got buried in so little time it wasn't even funny.

[Benjamslikestrains]

Also, I think that list was good. You just need more Gorillaz songs in there.

[Blargo]

Huh, I didn't know they were still making Rockband games.
I used to play the (first and second? I think?) games on my PS3 when I was younger.

Also didn't know Rockband and Guitar Hero were made by the same devs. I thought Rockband was a competitor.

Rock Band is a competitor, the developers (Harmonix) created it after the Guitar Hero IP was sold to Neversoft.

I would add Renegade, but it's already Rock Band DLC - I believe it was taken down though due to licensing issues.
