10 Rock Band Songs For Your Next Party
April 12 , 2008 ... posted by Mike
When you’re at a party ... perhaps enjoying some delicious “adult beverages” ... there may come a point when someone says; “So what do you all want to do?” At this point take your pineapple daiquiri from your lips and suggest ... how about we play Rock Band?
I’m sure everyone will thank you for this amazing suggestion.
It is no secret that we here at Headshot Radio swear by the party aspect of Rock Band ... so I thought I’d compile a list of ten songs that are essential to any rocking party. These are NOT the best songs in the game ... but the most fun songs to play with a four member band.
Top 5 Party Songs Included in Rock Band
5. Don’t Fear The Reaper (Blue Oyster Cult)
While this song may not rock as hard as some of the others ... thanks to Will Farrell this song will forever make everyone in the room have a good time. Especially if the singer decides to start playing the cowbell (tapping the microphone) in the lead guitarists face with his shirt half up his stomach. (Thanks Dustin)
4. Ballroom Blitz (The Sweet)
This song was the OTHER song made famous by Wayne’s World ... and it is a blast to play. The singer has to go nuts and the guitar and drums make you get into the song. This song makes you want to jump around and break stuff ... even nice stuff.
3. Wanted Dead Or Alive (Bon Jovi)
If anyone knows me ... they know I’ve been looking forward to this song ever since rhythm games were invented. With one of the most distinctive guitar riffs in rock history and some balls to the wall vocals ... this song makes up for the lack of things for the drummer and bass player to do.
2. Are You Gonna Be My Girl (Jet)
This song brings all the parts of the band together to make for one kick ass rock tune. The guitar is peppy, the vocals are fun, the drum beat is one of the best in the game and get this ... the bass is the best part of this song! This song is guaranteed to force energy down the throats of everyone watching (and playing for that matter).
1. Foreplay / Longtime (Boston)
I had never heard this song before Rock Band ... and then we played it and it INSTANTLY became my favorite song in the game to play. The guitar in this song is amazing ... Especially during the 3 solos. The bass is very solid and the vocals are terrific although very high (hey ... it’s a Boston song.) The only thing wrong with this song is that the singer has nothing to do for the first minute and a half. However if he’s a true front-man ... he’ll be using that time to pump up the spectators and collect all the bras thrown on stage.
