I need some help here…

[Reel Big Chris]

If you could choose 5 Reel Big Fish songs to be able to have as downloadable content for Rock Band, what would they be? Also, keep in mind that it's not just for you, but for the whole world. So obviously Beer and Sell Out would be on there, but what other songs would you/other people pay money to play?

[Desensitized]

For FUN charting?

1. The Set Up (Rock N Roll fun for everyone)
2. Sellout (Vocals = YES)
3. Join The Club (Come on, this is perfect. The song is all over the place!)
4. 'Til I Hit The Ground (Vocals and drums would be a blast)
5. Beer (This is a must, but I think it would be the least fun of the 5)

Would be at the top.

I'd also like Down In Flames, Average Man (not kidding), Say Goodbye, Cheer Up, Call You, Party Down, What Are Friends For, A Little Doubt Goes A Long Way, The Kids Don't Like It, Somebody Hates Me, and Trendy.

I think those would be the most fun in Rock Band.

I still haven't played this game.

In fact the only 'music superhero' game I've played so far is Singstar… I'm very sorry guys, I don't deserve to breathe the same internets as you.

That said(and in no order):
Dateless Losers
The Set Up
Where Have You Been
The 2 obligations

[Sonic Libido]

[size=22][b]Beer[/b][/size] (as much shit as we give it… I still love this song)
[size=22][b]Sell Out[/b][/size] (how about a live version with the extended ending?)
[size=22][b]The Fire[/b][/size] (It's just such a sweet rhythm to it, has fun parts for all instruments)
[size=22][b]Don't Start A Band[/b][/size] (so great for rock band parties, vocals and guitar would rock)
[size=22][b]Down In Flames[/b][/size] (the song is fucking thunder, awesome guitar & bass solos, sweet drum roll, awesome lyrics.)

[The Wind]

Don't use red text ever again.

[madamadam]

I don't see red, but I do see silly tower-letters.
Being different is unacceptable, please refrain from doing so in the future.

[Desensitized]

I like my choices the most.

[The Wind]

The Set Up, Down In Flames, Suckers.

[Reel Big Chris]

All noted, and yeah, JD's makes quite possibly the most sense. Thanks again.

Now part two: Just for the fans, five that you want to hear.

[The Wind]

Add 'Til I Hit The Ground and keep Sellout.

[Desensitized]

If I'm going to pick a 5 pack for fans only, it would be:

Trendy
The Kid's Don't Like It
What Are Friends For?
Party Down
Down In Flames/We Care

Yes I cheated. I don't care. :p

[Sonic Libido]

songs I'd like:
Drinkin'
Suckers
Way Back
The Joke's On Me
Somebody Hates Me

I'm a vocalist. those songs have fun vocal parts.

I'm not expecting any of these to get picked up, he asked what songs I'd like to play

It may also be a difference in who we play with… all my friends are musicians and often during long sets we love to throw in slow burners like "Way Back" and for us it's not all rock all the time.

my Ideal list was the first one I posted, this is my secondary.

No shit, I don't care if you posted the news first.

I was asking Chris if he had been commissioned. Or something.

[Sonic Libido]

oh, it didn't seem like it… It just seemed like you hadn't heard yet. sorry for not catching the implied question

[Desensitized]

That would be awesome if he was.

Then maybe he can get Suburban Legends to put Rump Shaker and the EP on there next. 😀

[Desensitized]

[url=http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2009/08/rock-band-queen/]Queen coming to Rock Band and Lego Rock Band is exportable[/url]

10 Queen songs, a Raconteurs, and White Stripes pack are coming, too. Now where are those good Green Day songs?

Lego Rock Band's songlist is quite impressive, too.

[The Wind]

I agree. Definitely worth the (hopefully) $5 plus rental.

But We Will Rock You?

[Desensitized]

That song will suck on drums, for sure.

Well, at least it's not Bohemian. It will surely be part of the DLC, but having to play it over and over during disc setlists would surely tire it out.

[Sonic Libido]

here's hoping they don't add Bo Rhap ever.

it's not a bad song…. just a bad rock band song.

my vote… (including the confirmed songs):
1.) Under Pressure (I have no idea why RB people want this)
2.) Tie Your Mother Down
3.) Crazy Little Thing Called Love
4.) Dead On Time
5.) It's Late
6.) Death On Two Legs (Dedicated To…)
7.) Keep Yourself Alive
8.) Breakthru
9.) Stone Cold Crazy
10.) Hammer To Fall
11.) We Will Rock You
12.) We Are The Champions

[Desensitized]

It will be there. The hits always are, whether they're fun or not. Same reason why Under Pressure is there and why I Wanna Hold Your Hand is on the Beatles game instead of Rain or Yer Blues.

[Samu]

I don't think Yer blues would be so funny to play. I'm definetely with you for Rain. Is Tomorrow never knows on it?

[Desensitized]

It's in the Love mix with Within You Without You.

Honestly, Yer Blues would be a blast on drums.

[Reel Big Chris]

I'm getting super sick of Guitar Hero. I bought GH5 for ten bucks(Traded in some old shit and got hooked up) and I played a few songs on a drums, a few more on guitar, and now I'll probably never play it again. "Brianstorm" was retarded hard on drums, and that's really the only song that I'd ever like to play again. Aside from that, I really don't want to play Ring of Fire, nor do I want to see my hero brought back to life in some shite game(Cash, not that Nirvana dude). So I'll never play through career, and if I payed any more than $10, I would've been pissed. I pretty much got a permanent rental, which I'll soon trade in towards Beatles Rockband. Fuck Hacktivision.

[Reel Big Chris]

Aww man, I posted this huge rant about how I hate Guitar Hero now, but it failed to post. Fuck. 🙁

[Reel Big Chris]

Whoa, wait… What happened?

[Desensitized]

Glitchy.

I agree, I was done with Guitar Hero after the fuck up that was Guitar Hero III. It seems only Harmonix knows how to make these games, and since Rock Band has songs by The Jam, Rock Band wins.

[Desensitized]

And they have Johnny Cash doing this shit, too.

These games are supposed to celebrate music, not shit on dead icons like this.

[The Wind]

This is funny. Not the "Haha" funny, more like the "Boo Hoo this totally sucks" funny.

I haven't wanted to play GH since three, either.

[Reel Big Chris]

Ahh man, that's sickening. They allow you to play as your mii/avatar/whatever ps3 users get and they have Johnny Cash, the blackest, most somber man in Rock and Roll frolicking around onstage next to some deformed version of yourself. I'm sticking with Harmonix.

[The Wind]

[/quote1253625639]

Under Pressure is there because of DAVID "THE FUCKING SHIT" BOWIE.

[Desensitized]

^Oh yeah, that too.

Would have been nice if we could play in the Beatles engine to do harmonies.

[Desensitized]

The songs are being released next week. They are:

Another One Bites The Dust
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
One Vision
Fat Bottomed Girls
I Want It All
I Want To Break Free
Killer Queen
Somebody To Love
Tie Your Mother Down
Under Pressure

We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions will be exportable in Lego Rock Band with every other song from the soundtrack.

Not bad, it's got the hits and some rockin' tunes for the fans.

[The Wind]

Not being a huge Queen fan, I'll get Killer Queen and the Bowie song.

[Desensitized]

Now we need the Ziggy Stardust album and all the Guitar Hero 1 songs I like will be in Rock Band.

Next Harmonix needs to tackle the Guitar Hero 2 songs.

[The Wind]

They need to do more Pearl Jam and Foo Fighters.

LOL JK

Really though I've been waiting for more songs by the Strokes for ages.

And the Matches would be awesome as hell. But that'lll never happen.

[Desensitized]

Rock Band Network, dude. Someone needs to get a hold of them. I wanna rock out to a song about a chip shop!

Hell, if I knew the detail of RBN, I'd offer services.
Like, when does it launch? How is the software distributed?

[Desensitized]

Maybe you could ask Chris? :p

The Matches are on Epitaph, right? If Sub Pop is in on RBN, then Epitaph should not be too far behind. Maybe e-mail the band to know if they're aware of it?

It can only be a good thing for them to be in on it. Besides, this needs to be in the game:

[The Wind]

That song wouldn't make my list. I'm not a huge fan of it.

[Desensitized]

Which songs would you pick?

Choose 5 like Chris specified earlier.

[The Wind]

Personally:

Sick Little Suicide
Wake The Sun
Didi (My Doe, Part 2)
Chain Me Free
Sunburn vs. the Rhinovirus

I don't even know what their big songs would be, though.
