Xzyliac seez : Can I kick it?
Kraid seez : YES YOU MUTHERFUKIN CAN!
You know I was sold right on the header man; A Tribe Called Quest is some raw shit.
ALSO! The Stooges.
Another stellar blog by my favorite music lover on the interwebs.
Jolly good show my man!

I enjoy this feature you do. I myself have a list of bands that need to be on Rock Band. Hopefully this new Rock Band Marketplace thing will add some stuff.
I would much rather have Low Rider from War, if only because I'm burnt out from hearing WCWBF at work half a dozen times each day.
That, and they'd probably end up getting the Smash Mouth cover or some nonsense.

1. 21st Century Schizoid Man = one of the very few reasons why I haven't sold Guitar Hero 5. Amazing song.
2. A Tribe Called Quest is amazing, I have all their albums and I've listened to them since I was like 3 years old. I don't care if RB doesn't have a "hip-hop" category, add it for Quest.
3. Seeing Lovefool made me think of this scene.
4. Taylor Swift sucks.
Wow, that was a long comment.

Why Can't We Be Friends has so many things going on that isn't a part of the 4 integral instruments (guitar,bass,drums,vocals), that I'm not sure its better than Low Rider. Plus Low Rider has cowbell.
On a purely fun note though, WHY AREN'T THESE IN ROCK BAND!!!! Its criminal I say.

You do a great job of mixing up the music while remaining consistent with quality. This list really is awesome and I hope it only gets better. One thing, though:
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE BETTER BE IN THERE SOMEWHERE.
Also, while readin the other entries, I noticed you included Minor Threat, so major fucking props for that. Secondly, as someone who is Straight Edge, Ian Mackaye (Lead singer) didn't create Straight Edge to look cool, but rather to say he didn't need these things in a time where literally everyone around him was doing and and were dropping dead left and right. Some people may do it as a fashion, but he certainly didn't do it for that, and only did it for himself. He's said that he didn't intend for it to become what it is today. Just thought I would clear that up :)
Also, A TRIBE CALLED QUEST FUCK YEAH JAZZY HIP-HOP. Still though, I hope MT isn't the only Hardcore Punk band, as there are tons that deserve to be in RB, such as Bad Brains :)

Thanks once again everyone!
@Kraid
Dude I so put that header up there just for you. Seriously.
@WarZombie
Thanks. My criticism of Ian Mackaye and "Straight Edge" is really just my criticism of my own experience with those involved in that culture. Hopefully I didn't offend but in my experience Straight Edge kids are very condescending. Sorry if I said anything that bothered you. Just, respectfully, I disagree with it. I see Ian Mackaye's point, he was raised in the thick of DC so he was probably scared shitless with all the substance abuse around him, but I think it's become a way for a lot of kids to think they're "better" or "right." It's just a choice. Like vegetarianism.
Oh and RATM is already in Rock Band so they don't qualify. Plus they've got all the songs I'd suggest (Guerilla Radio FTW).

ATC mothafuckin' Quest! Great idea, I love Tribe but would never have thought of putting them in Rock Band. I also must say that to me, Midnight Marauders is their most classic album.
Also, major yes to "Why Can't We Be Friends?" Great blog.

@ Xzyliac
I know why you would be cautious, but like pretty much anything else, there will always be fanboys who think they're right and others are wrong, and this applies to lifestyle choices as well. You certainly didn't offend me, just you gotta remember that a few run-ins with some assholes doesn't represent the population as a whole. I'm definitely not accusing you of anything, because a lot of people feel the same way about Straight Edge kids, even some people here on Dtoid other than yourself. Not all Edge kids rub it in your face, or think they're better than you, myself included. You don't have to agree with it, not by any means, just remember that not all Edge kids are douche-bags :)
PS, is RATM really in RB? Maybe in RB2, 'cause I haven't seen them in RB.

Ah, the prodigal blog returns! Excellent stuff as always. Love seeing Voltaire and REALLY REALLY love seeing The Stooges. Iggy Pop and his ragtag bunch of punks are my second favorite musicians in the world (Second only to the one and only David Bowie). I sincerely hope since they gave us The Passenger in Lego Rock Band we can see more from them. I'm personally holding out for I Got A Right and I Wanna Be Your Dog, but now I'm just re-iterating my old blog.
@WarZombie- Yeah, RATM is in Rock Band already, but as DLC. You can nab Bulls On Parade and Guerilla Radio for download, and Testify is available as an on-disc track in Rock Band 2. I'd love to see Freedom or Sleep Now In The Fire if we get any more Rage in the game!

Eerie. I was just listening to A Tribe Called Quest when I clicked on this blog!
My old housemate used to be a massive fan of The Cardigans. Gran Turismo was a great album, but I haven't heard it years, so I suspect it probably sounds really dated 90's pop rock. The stuff they did after that was just a bit wishy washy for my tastes though.
Also, I wanns see more Dischord stuff. That or the golden age of Saddle Creek - Cursive, Desaparecidos & Bright Eyes would be nice.

I saw Voltaire play in the hotel lobby during Dragoncon a few years back. That was surreal. Me and this hyper-enthusiastic teenage girl stood there while he and the violin player did their thing.
@Stevil: Gran Turismo doesn't sound dated. It's held up very well, suprisingly. I'd love to see all of Gran Turismo come to Rock Band.
Rake's Song from the The Decemberists would be amazing. Especially since the girlfriend loves to belt that one out and that's hawt.
