Tom Petty!

I really wish we'd get some more CanCon of Matthew Good and Bryan Adams.

[Dioneo]

I've requested Sam Roberts... no love yet.

[g011um]

Speaking of CanCon, how about Three Days Grace? I think they'd fit RB very well.

[Richard Travale]

The Jam!!! How happy is Rich?(rhetorical question)

Sam Roberts would be pretty rad as well Dioneo. I just saw him at the Big Time Out festival and he was amazing.

[blakew]

Supersonic (Live) by Oasis... Sweet, that is vintage Oasis.

[Dioneo]

Rumours of Queen coming to RB next month...

http://kotaku.com/5349922/queen-stru...onto-rock-band

A "competitive analysis" chart obtained by Wired - drawn up to show how Harmonix's Rock Band offerings compare to Guitar Hero's - has revealed that along with the two Queen songs included in LEGO Rock Band, there'll be another ten Queen songs coming as downloadable content next month (only one, "Under Pressure", has been named").
