Ok I just bought this game i admit i'm not a huge fan of the 80's rock music but some songs are kinda cool but at the same time the last song was "Play with me" by Extreme????
i mean what the funk
guess what else came out in the 80's Pink Floyd the wall
but i bet the game creators are like hey what good songs came off that album, probably nothing

bottom line is Comfortably Numb would have been bad ass to see as the closing song not EXTREME!!!

Can someone please explain to me what the Go Go's and Flock of seagulls have to do with Guitar Hero? Why is it so hard to add Floyd, and old school Metallica? More Dio , Ozzy, ACDC, Skid Row, Alice in Chains, GNR. Does anyone else see it my way. Get someone who actually knows Rock of the 80's before you put a game out.

there are no bonus tracks
they should just make the guitar heros more interactive besides just playing the songs
you should get to create your guitarist , and make obstacles or stuff you have to do before you play the show

Great album, but it was released in '79, so they really couldn't put it on the list.
