Less talk more rock

Wow, I haven't updated this thing in a month. I may get back to the D&D thing soon (was anyone reading it?), but I had typed this up for one of the forums I post on and figured I'd put it up here.

My top 5 favorite Rock Band songs (by instrument):

Guitar:
  1. The Grateful Dead – Franklin’s Tower
  2. The Mother Hips – Red Tandy
  3. Muse – Hysteria
  4. Boston – More Than a Feeling
  5. The Rolling Stones – Gimme Shelter
Bass:
  1. Muse – Hysteria
  2. Red Hot Chili Peppers – Dani California
  3. Rush – Working Man
  4. The Mother Hips – Red Tandy
  5. The Grateful Dead – Franklin’s Tower
Drums:
  1. The Mother Hips – Red Tandy
  2. Radiohead – My Iron Lung
  3. The Who – Baba O’Riley
  4. Smashing Pumpkins – Siva
  5. Soundgarden – Black Hole Sun
Vocals:
  1. Weezer – El Scorcho
  2. Pixies – Debaser
  3. Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives – I Get By
  4. Smashing Pumpkins – Zero
  5. Pixies – Crackety Jones

Probably not anything too surprising, except that I'm probably the only person on the planet who enjoys singing "I Get By".

Also, "Red Tandy" by The Mother Hips is criminally underappreciated. It's quite possibly the all-around best song in the game (or at least up there with "Hysteria").
