Remember when I said I got my tonsils out? No? Well, read my last blog on games so similar that they could be in the same series where I explain how the free time gave me a lot of time to think (it's a good blog, honest!). Anyway, now that you've hopefully bought into my shameless plug, I have a new offering of thought. Guitar Hero Unplugged, or Acoustic Hero, or whatever you'd like to call it. Not that I'm seriously considering that a Guitar Hero game dedicated to purely acoustic songs could exist, but if it did, this would be my ideal setlist for it. Here I goes with the hypothetical: Tier 1: Classical and Beginner 1. Estudio By Terrega 2. Romanza by Niccolo Paganini 3. Etude by Ferdinando Carulli 4. Wonderwall by Oasis 5. Encore: You're a Girl (Montage) by Strong Bad 6. Co-op Encore: Anyone Else But You by The Moldy Peaches Tier 2: Talent Show 7. Suicide is Painless (Acoustic Arrangement) by Manic Street Preachers 8. Architecture by Chequerboard 9. Close to Me (Acoustic Arrangement) by The Cure 10. Mr. Jones (Acoustic Arrangement) by Counting Crows 11. Boss: Kimya Dawson's Acoustic Battle 12. Encore: Time of Your Life by Green Day 13. Co-op Encore: If I had $1000000 by Barenaked Ladies Tier 3: Dream Arrangements (As far as I know, none of these arrangements exist... Yet) 14. Soul to Squeeze (Acoustic Arrangement) by Red Hot Chili Peppers 15. Another Girl, Another Planet (Acoustic Arrangement) by The Only Ones 16. Let Her Cry (Acoustic Arrangement) by Hotty and the Blowfish 17. Niave (Acoustic Arrangement) by The Kooks 18. Modern Way (Acoustic Arrangement) by Kaiser Chiefs 19. Co-op Encore: Feeling This (Acoustic Arrangement) by Blink 182 Tier 4: Eurocoustic 20. Gone in the Morning by Newton Faulkner 21. In the Morning by Razorlight 22. Laid By James 23. Boss: José González Acoustic Battle 24. Encore: Crazy by The Kooks (Gnarls Barkley cover) 25. Co-op Encore: Indian Ink by ChequerBoard Tier 5: Romantic Intentions 26. With or Without You (Acoustic Arrangement) by U2 27. Heartbeats by José González 28. Honey and the Moon by Joseph Arthur 29. Closer by Joshua Radin 30. Boss: Joseph Arthur Acoustic Battle 31. Encore: In the Sun by Joseph Arthur 32. Co-op Encore: Cannonball by Damien Rice Tier 6: Unplugged 33. Circles by The Kinda Long Haired Band 34. At the Hop by Devendra Banhart 35. Save your Day by José González 36. A Smile That Explodes by Joseph Arthur 37. Encore: Moon River by Frank Sinatra 38. Co-op Encore: Wonderboy by Tenacious D Tier 7: Live From Dublin 39. JCB Song by Nizlopi 40. Hey There Deliliah by Plain White T's 41. Canticle (Scarborough Fair) by Simon and Garfunkle 42. Under the Bridge (Acoustic Arrangement) 43. Encore: Mrs Robinson by Simon and Garfunkle Tier 8: Acoustic Legend 44. Bohemian Rhapsody by Edgar Cruz 45. Crosses by José González 46. Overkill by Colin Hay 47.

Stairway to Heaven (Acoustic Arrangement) by Led Zeppelin So there you go Activision, Whin I give you lemons, you make a game out of them (I'm kidding of course). All the above songs should be availble for listening on Youtube, except for the some of the arrangements that don't exist, though I'd like to see them. Well, this has been a quite long post, so If you made it to hear, Good for You! Have a Cookie!. Also; I can't help myself, This video is too good: I wonder if that Recipe actually works...
