Fourteen games that would totally rock
From the Stones to the Ramones, music acts that deserve their own 'The Beatles: Rock Band' treatment
By Paul Semel, Special To Metromix
When “The Beatles: Rock Band” comes out on September 9, the Fab Four will join an elite list of rock groups who have gotten their own music game. It's a list that include Metallica (“Guitar Hero: Metallica”), Aerosmith (“Guitar Hero: Aerosmith”), Queen (the just-released “SingStar: Queen”), AC/DC (“AC/DC Live Rock Band Track Pack”) and Van Halen (the upcoming “Guitar Hero: Van Halen,” which comes out December 22).
But why stop there? There are plenty of musicians who could carry their own music game—it's just a matter of finding the right game for the right bands. So in the interest of getting them made (and maybe getting a royalty check or two for the idea...), we humbly submit our ideas for the next great music games.
