Is Harmonix planning on releasing a long-range list of the upcoming Rock Band downloads? I know they have one out that runs till the end of January, but I'm talking like a quarterly list?

OXM SAYS:

God we wish, just like you do. But nope, Harmonix won't be doing that, and not because they're mean. (They're nice, decent folks, actually.) But the task of negotiating licenses with dozens of artists, tracking down masters, converting them into playable songs, and delivering them to Marketplace is one that's fraught with many perils and potentials for delays. Harmonix certainly has its plans laid out for the next quarter, but if you ask them tomorrow for it, it'd probably have changed dramatically from what they told you today. So putting out a list like that would be just begging for fan disappointment and assorted bursts of interweb rage -- they're wise to only say what they're sure of, week by week. That list through the end of January, by the way, was actually an accidental posting by Microsoft that wasn't supposed to go up.

COMMENTS:

i think they need to put some carlos santana songs in there anyone agree wit me

Well, I really enjoyed Rock Bands setlist, and the DLC, especially Blink 182, but I want some harder stuff. Like, stuff not a lot of people would download, but I would VERY much appreciate it. Like, some screamo, metalcore, stuff like that.

It's not the only music I like, don't get me wrong, I love classic rock and modern punk and stuff, but that has all been in the rythm games. Seeing Slipknot and Slayer in GH3 was awesome, but I didnt really like GH3 all that much, at least compared to Rock Band.

If I could see "Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over" by The Devil Wears Prada come on Marketplace, I would probably cry. Playing the insanely awesome intro riff, then letting loose with the psycho screams would melt my heart in a dark way that singing "Wanted Dead Or Alive" NEVER could.

i agree linkin park we also need some dragonforce like fury of the storm cuz it needs something impossible
some good 80s and definately SYSTEM OF A DOWN!! if anyone agrees comment and agree w/ me cuz the more agrees the sooner we get it

as far as rock band dowmloads go - 2 simple words - GRATEFUL DEAD

I would love some linkin park, i was so sad to see them on gh3! Any sign if they'll switch over to rock band?

I would love to see some avenged sevenfold, more strokes, and some new boston stuff. also, they need to release a major patch that enables XBL band world tour. its a classic case of halo 2-dom. but more 30 seconds to mars, weezer, nirvana definitely.

Please Harmonix, I'm begging you please give me more The Who! I will be will be so freakin' greatful!
