Now this intrigues me as a lifelong Beatles fan, but it got me wondering which songs they'd want to use.
"Love Me Do" is catchy, but it's not really Guitar Hero fodder, you know? So I decided to tax my poor little brain and come up with some suggestions.
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Helter Skelter
And Your Bird Can Sing
Taxman
I Feel Fine
Day Tripper
Birthday
Don't Let Me Down
For You Blue
Something
Free As a Bird
Happiness is a Warm Gun
Here Comes the Sun
I Saw Her Standing There
I Want You (She's So Heavy)
I've Got a Feeling
Norwegian Wood
Paperback Writer
Rain
She's a Woman
Think For Yourself
Michelle
I Call Your Name
Getting Better
The End
That's about 25 Beatles songs, but to fill it out, you could include either bands that inspired them, like Buddy Holly and the Crickets, or bands that covered Beatles tunes (damn near everyone).
I'm sure I'm missing one or two songs that would fit in this kind of game better, but this is a good start. Feel free to add anything I missed in the comments.
I'd almost certainly buy this, though I can't imagine they'd actually be able to use the actual Beatles recordings, so it would be a bunch of cover versions like in the early days of Guitar Hero, but I think I would kick some serious ass at this game, having listened to Beatles songs my entire life.
The song lineup might change a little if this used the full band peripherals that this fall's installment is supposed to use, but I wouldn't imagine drastic changes unless they introduced a piano peripheral, which I tend to doubt.
But I'd be willing to bet that no matter what, "Revolution No. 9" won't make the cut.
