Bands Who Deserve a Self Titled Guitar Hero / Rock Band Game

Although it will never happen due to Robert Plant not wanting to be remembered for one song, Zeppelin still deserves one more than any other band. So many people listen to so many of their songs.

Stairway to Heaven is arguably the biggest song of the '70s. They are the fourth biggest selling band of all time, and people still wear the 1971 U.S. Tour t-shirts.

They certainly have enough songs. They should make a Rock Band for them now! I love Queen, and their legacy deserves a little help because some people still don't know who Queen is.

And if ANYONE adds Justin Bieber, I will destroy the world. Thanks.

Very popular with some extremely famous songs, but also have enough guitar work to warrant a whole game. They have a "SingStar" game, but should have one of these too.

Everyone talks about "Thriller" and how it sold 50 million copies. Everyone says that no album is even close in sales to "Thriller." Apparently, "everyone" forgets that "Back In Black," AC/DC's 1980 album, sold 48 million copies and was the biggest selling album for four years.

AC/DC is one of those trademark bands. A lot of people who listen to only pop, rap, country, etc. have at least heard the name AC/DC and know they exist. That's pretty remarkable to be able to say that. But they're not just a famous name. They're one of the greatest bands of all time. "Back In Black" is one of the most recognizable guitar riffs ever and also one of the most commercially successful hard rock songs.

AC/DC is also one of only two bands to lose the original vocalist and be more successful with the second vocalist.

From 1964 on, the Stones have always been one of the most popular rock bands. Their combination of blues and punk-ish rock 'n' roll is very hard to pull off successfully, but they did it.

Mick Jagger is without a doubt the best performer in music ever.

The Stones are legendary, and they have a lot of great and diverse songs, so it would be very interesting to have a game about them.

This could be a nice counter to The Beatles Rock Band. They have a long career and plenty of songs.

I'm not a big fan of Nirvana. My favorite genres are hair metal, arena rock, and thrash metal. Nirvana killed two of those, and the other hasn't been the same since. Nonetheless, Nirvana was a very important band, and had Kurt Cobain not died, Nirvana could've easily been the next Beatles.

They were a bit of a cult band. They had four or five big hits, and every other song was considered a hit to their die-hard fans. Nirvana completely changed music, and 2000s rock and even 2000s pop are influenced by Nirvana's grunge style of music.

Neil Peart is arguably the best songwriter of all time. He also has, without a doubt, the best drum set ever. Peart is referred to as the greatest drummer of all time more than any other drummer.

Geddy Lee is also one of the best bass players, and he's a pretty good singer too. The three members of Rush are the best musicians in a rock band. No one else can perform songs that go from 4 beats per measure to 6 bpm to 11 bpm to 2 bpm (cough* Tom Sawyer).

Well, obviously, Led Zeppelin would be the best, but because they would never agree to having their music in a Rock Band/Guitar Hero game, I think Rush is the next best thing.

Part of the thing with Megadeth is that singer/lead guitarist Dave Mustaine was the original Metallica guitarist, and he quit to make his own band. Well, okay... so what? The full story is Metallica has a self-themed GH, and Metallica's Kirk Hammett is looked at by many as better than Dave.

However, from what we've seen with "This Day We Fight," "Sudden Death," and "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" (all by Megadeth), we can tell that Mustaine is the better guitarist, which he's been trying to prove for about 30 years unsuccessfully. A GH Megadeth would probably finally show who's the better guitarist (this is coming from a guy with 87 Metallica songs on his iPod).

Deep Purple is arguably more influential than Zeppelin and the Stones. Ritchie Blackmore inspired Yngwie Malmsteen, who some say is the greatest guitarist ever.

He inspired me too, but that's not important. It would definitely be nearly impossible to play GH/RB Deep Purple because of how good each member of the band is at their instrument.

Deep Purple is (for me) by far the best band of all time. I think they are very underrated because they've influenced a lot of musicians too.

To hear "Child in Time," "Highway Star," "Speed King," and all the others is a pleasure for your ears and should be heard by gods! But that's just my opinion. ;)

Neal Schon is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. He is, in fact, one of the very best. Everyone knows that Steve Perry is one of the best singers, and Jonathan Cain and Steve Smith are some of the greatest keyboardists (Cain) and drummers (Smith) ever.

Journey's labeled genre is Arena Rock, but they have been interpreted as being in many different genres. Before Steve Perry came, they were a fusion band. "Any Way You Want It" is on VH1's list of the 100 greatest hard rock songs of all time, and many hair metal radio stations on iTunes play Journey songs. Journey is one of only two bands that have been more successful with their second vocalist than their first.

Motley Crue is the reason that Hair Metal was the main genre in the '80s. They dominated the Sunset Strip and set an inspiration for clothing in the Hair Metal genre.

Tommy Lee plays his live drum solos in a cage that spins him upside down in a circle at an intense rate, and he still plays with accuracy and never loses any ability to play.

Motley Crue is the start of great hair metal. They set an inspiration for bands to come.

The Foos get many songs in Rock Band and Guitar Hero games like Everlong, This Is a Call, The Feast and the Famine, and many others.

I'm a really big fan of Foo Fighters, and I really like Rock Band, so I wish one day Harmonix will rock on a Foo Fighters Rock Band or a Guitar Hero: Foo Fighters.
