genres are inherently flawed to begin with, but harmonix certainly doesn't strive for accuracy when labeling tracks in rock band.

I think about 15/20 of the Progressive is Rush - although 3 of their songs have a master AND a cover.

What the hell is Pop/Rock... and why are there separate categories for Pop Rock and Pop/Rock?

It's very important to separate sub-categories. For instance, sometimes I feel like some Funk Rock, but other times I feel like some FUNK Rock. And then of course, there's always Funk ROCK.

Proof Harmonix needs to add more 5x and 6x difficulty songs. The two added together come out to about as much as 4x, and significantly less than any other typical difficulty tier.

Love Rock Band, but it's mostly too easy on Expert. Just sayin'.

Personally I enjoy songs that I can get long combos on, and which sound good/are funky to play in the process.

Bursting a forehead-vein trying to get to a 4x combo on a Yngwie Malmsteen song, for instance, is not fun to me.

Pop/Rock versus Pop Rock, Alternative vs Grunge vs Indie Rock. It's like we're splitting hairs here.

Who classifies these games, I was going through the downloadable songs and it said that All-American Rejects was Emo. They aren't Emo - definitely Pop-Rock at least.

The Hold Steady for Rock Band.

of course, in my wildest dreams Rock Band is populated by tracks like

You lost me with the last two, but Hold Steady and Neutral Milk Hotel would be amazing. Most of NMH's songs would be hard to sing, though. Mangum never takes a breath, it seems.

There are a lot of great indie rock songs that just don't translate to the game because they're just a bunch of chords blasting with no solos. As much fun as a lot of Neutral Milk Hotel would be to sing it would be hard to write good guitar patterns for it I think. The amount of focus on the frets is tough when trying to use modern music because the guitar solo is practically dead, I'm hoping GH/RB will maybe revive it actually.

Now there's a good Rock Band song. There's tons of good older stuff by them too but they'd probably have to get them to re-record it since it's lo-fi.

So either they forgot to classify "Visions" or they left out the "Utter Crap" category.

Ugg, that amount of Pop Rock crap is way too high.

Seriously, Rock Band 2 was such a disappointment largely because ever other song was some shitty pop rock junk.

Ok, so, to make it more balanced, how about....

Rock Band: Devil at the Crossroad.
BB King, Robert Johnson, Eric Clapton, Howlin' Wolf & other Blues legends

Now, that would be interesting.

This could be actually useful if they did the same thing for Guitar Hero. It would be quite helpful when deciding which one to buy

Hopefully those charts will help Harmonix realize that there's WAY too many 2000s songs and to start concentrating on some 1960s and 1970s ones for awhile.
