Rock Band
I might be a bit behind the wave, as usual but If you are a music aficionado and haven't played "Rock Band" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Band ; http://www.rockband.com/ ) yet, you are missing something. Of course, if you are already one of the talented ones, and can strum Stairway to Heaven at the drop of a Roy Harper hat, you might not appreciate it. Then there will be these cynical Luddites who go on about how Note A goes in B way and gives you C pleasure which a stupid game wont give. In true rock star fashion say "F*** Off" and play it.

I personally rate the drums above the guitar, since it is almost real. Its got 4 drums and a foot pedal. Turn on paranoid and enjoy the manic beats. So I am off with my band with Insen(Lead Guitar and Band leader) and Stewie(Drums). Being the lead singer, I protect my voice with extra doses of coffee and beer nowadays. Stewie kicks ass on the drums and in true modesty, I am next in line. So smashed fingers and burns are only natural in our line of work(The same old Rock rivalries :D).

Check out some of the songs we found during our tour:

Rolling Stones: "Gimme Shelter" : http://youtube.com/watch?v=Mqg1WVVmgx0&feature=related
Mountain : "Mississipi Queen" : http://youtube.com/watch?v=QQpBwHiULmE

and the song I naturally fit into:
Radio Head: Creep : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxpblnsJEWM

and my top score(97%) till now:
Black Sabbath: Paranoid: http://youtube.com/watch?v=SRwwYWlbP2U

I am itching to play Zeppelin, LMR(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7vs21ZKrKM) and PF but there are only so many songs now.

"stewie" - rofl, that is perfect =))

I'm 80% cynical luddite with respect to the other instruments, but drums, eh, normally a bucket and a table suffices, so this has to be way better.

I knew that you'll automatically bracket yourself as a Luddite but I didn't have u in mind when I wrote it. I am whiplash btw. Stewie is Farsh.

Seconded. Or should I say "IAWTC".

to bloggeranon: so, I don't understand - do you actually sing a tune? Or do you say the words that are morphed into a tune by the game? does that make sense? I know I speak for many when I say this will make our day :D
