1960s through 1990s had me frothing at the mouth.  Lots of excellent tracks brought in from Jimi Hendrix to Faith No More and several other artists from those decades round out a really nice section of the set.

I, however, am completely underwhelmed by the set from the 2000s.  A lot of these bands I’ve never even heard of.  Juanes?  Poni Hoax?  Ida Maria?  Who the Hell are these artists?  I feel like I’m 50-years-old when I read some of the names.  I can barely even recommend good songs from that list except for the Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures tracks.  I guess I’ll be checking them out on YouTube.  And it looks like I hit it dead-center with the Pretty Girls Make Graves track.

I’m damn frustrated that roughly 1/3rd of the list is more recent stuff (probably most of it which I will hate since I am incredibly elitist and would’ve hoped for a more even split), but I am confident in Harmonix’s abilities to appeal to a wide audience.

Still, I could’ve done without Amy Winehouse.

Rock Band 3 drops for the PS3, 360, Wii and DS on October 26th!  Make sure you get yours!
