Just to set things straight, I DON'T listen to the radio at all so if a song is overplayed or such, I really don't care. I'm just judging the songs on how much fun I think they're going to be + how much I enjoy them.
Are you gonna be my girl? Drums and singing could be fun.
Black Hole Sun This song will be really fun all around, but I can't call myself a Soundgarden fan.
Blitzkrieg Bop Short, really repetetive, I'm just not a fan of punk.
Brain Power The operative word in the title of this game is ROCK.
Celebrity Skin Eh, don't care for this song at all, but playing through won't be horrid.
Cherub Rock This song is growing on me TBH, I like the drums and chorus.
Creep Don't like Radiohead
Dani California I like this song, should be fun with my RHCP friend.
Detroit Rock City A good choice for Rock Band, features some cool bass, and it's one of my friend's favorite songs.
Don't Fear the Reaper I really love this song, Astronomy would've worked better, but this is still awesome. The only downside is the weak bass.
Enter Sandman Has a lot of potencial, I haven't seen a note chart, but the drums and guitar sound fun.
Epic This looks to be a relatively hard song for each instrument, I really want to sing this song!
Foreplay/Long Time I'm super happy about this song! Good to see Foreplay is included, I wonder how many drummers will fail it @_@
Gimme Shelter One of my favorite stones songs, really vocally fueled and a sweet chorus.
Go With the Flow This song has been growing on me since it was announced; it should be easy, but I don't care because it rocks.
The Hand That Feeds I really don't like this song at all, nothing about it sounds like fun to play.
Here it goes Again Could be fun to sing, but other than that, I can see it being boring for the other instruments.
Highway Star Could be one of the harder songs in the game, I love Deep Purple as well as this song, perfect pick IMO.
I think I'm Paranoid I don't like this song, but at least it's better than the other 2 women-lead songs...
In Bloom My favorite Nirvana song, and Im not really a Nirvana fan at all. A good pick for the band.
Learn to Fly doesn't sound like a lot of fun to play, but I like The Foo Fighters
Main Offender A short song with a sad excuse for a guitar solo.
Maps I rarely get nervous, me and my friends are all actors. But this song is gonna be the worst, most awkward song of the bunch.
Mississippi Queen Even though it's short, I really like this song, it'll be a blast to sing.
Next to You I'm not a Police fan at all, but this song actually sounds fun, Stewart Copeland is a great drummer, so Im happy.
Orange Crush I haven't heard much of this song, but the drums sound fun.
Paranoid Short, but it will be a big hit with my friends.
Reptilia I don't like this song, it's boring IMO
Sabotage This song sounds surprisingly well-rounded, although I'm sure everyone's gonna be fighting over the mic.
Say it Aint So The lyrics make 0 sense, and the whole song is just boring. Some people may get joy out of the chorus, but not me.
Should I Stay or Should I Go? I dislike punk as a genre but I like The Clash. So, this song could be fun.
Suffragette City Moonage Daydream would've been better, but I still like this song.
Tom Sawyer Not my favorite Rush song, but it's Rush; and for that, it's awesome.
Vasoline I don't like STP, let's leave it at that.
Wanted Dead or Alive Cheesy, but it'll be fun to sing and geetar.
Wave of Mutilation A good song, but it's SO short, what's up with that?
Welcome Home Should be fun to play, can't say I like the singer, but the guitar work sounds great.
Won't Get Fooled Again Has the best possibility of being the final encore (already confirmed to be for the drums) and it's a great song. This is what Rock Band is about.
Overall, I'm getting the game. This is going to be the ultimate party game (already plans to have it at my work's staff party) and the songs in my opinion are pretty good. It's just that a fair deal of the songs are alternative rock from the 90s-00s as well as classic rock. It just seems like the songlist wasn't made for people like Tony. And it's a shame that people like him won't be able to enjoy it as much as people like myself will. But who knows, maybe the bonus songs and DLC may bring something of interest?
