How do you feel about Led Zeppelin getting their own Rock Band title? Maybe you'd be happier with Pink Floyd or The Eagles? Perhaps U2? Yeah, none of those sound particularly enthralling to us either. Thankfully, Harmonix gave us the option to write in our own choice (Flock of Seagulls, duh!) for a possible future artist-specific Rock Band title via a recent poll offered on the developer's forums. Not interested in more one-group/artist RB titles? That's also an option!
Harmonix explains the poll as a way to interact with its community and solicit fan response to future titles that are being considered. "With the release of Green Day: Rock Band just a few days away, we wanted to take the opportunity to ask all of you to tell us about which other artists you might want to see as the focus of future artist specific games." As you might imagine, though, the company says it's not planning on making any of these games for sure just yet. "This survey isn't a guarantee that Harmonix is going to make games based on any of these bands, but community feedback is and always has been absolutely invaluable to us in determining our focus within the world of Rock Band as we move forward." We're holding out hope that a group of hardcore Scott Stapp fans aren't secretly plotting to overwhelm the poll with requests for Creed: Rock Band.

I agree with this man. Event based Rock Band games are where it's at. I want an Isle of Wight Rock Band.

As long as we're throwing in Japanese artists, let me vote for The Pillows. They have a huuuge discography and most of it is excellent.

I'm not a fan of Rockband games, but seriously, let's see some Zeppelin!
(Then again, ANYTHING would be better than Green Day. Even Creed.)

Ugh I was going to reply and say Jimi Buffet sucks, and then I figured let's not and instead say what I do want to see, and then I forgot to undo the reply. Oh well.

1st of all: Fuh Q.
2nd of all: It's "Jimmy Buffet". Say it right or don't say it at all.
Finally: Jimmy Buffet owns your soul. He is awesome and you know it, stop doubting yourself. If for some reason you cant possibly favor him, you are a demon and an ass.
Have a nice day.

Decemberists Rock Band. The most literate Rock Band EVER!
But since people only like things they've heard of, R E M Rock Band might be good.

I'm not a fan of these single-group music games. Even if they did one of my favorite bands, I still wouldn't want to play only those songs because it would just lead to me getting sick of them that much quicker.

I love the Beatles one, because all my Rock Band playing friends love the Beatles as much as I do, but for bands with smaller catalogs or less appeal, it really doesn't make sense. None of your friends are ever going to want to play a game about YOUR favorite band.

i'm extremely burned out on music games, but i'd thrown down for led zeppelin: rock band in a heartbeat.

ACDC or Thin Lizzy.
Still probably wouldn't buy it though as not a massive fan of music games.

I'm sick of plastic guitars, but I would be in line on day one for Iron Maiden: Rock Band. And, why haven't any of the plastic guitar games done an expansion featuring the entire Brutal Legend soundtrack? That's another one I'd sign on for.

Ugh, stop with the music games. I bowed out at Guitar Hero 3.
These music game developers are the Ke$ha of the video games industry.

The company formerly known as the Guitar Hero studio presents...
The Artist Formerly Known as the Artist Formerly Known as Prince: Rock Band.
Yeah, Prince would be cool, but only if it has the songs he put in the Batman soundtrack on it. Oh, and digital models of all his protégées through the years.

Instead of just a single band.. how about a concert series.. Like Rock Band: Ozzfest featuring some of the best bands from the past few years of Ozzfest.. or even like Rock Band Woodstock lol... seriously though I think this would make a much more entertaining idea..

I agree. A Warped Tour Rock Band would be awesome.
