I find the complaints about the tracklist kind of ridiculous. Plenty of bands on here are playing their signature song, or close thereto: RATM, Kansas, GnR, freakin' Lynyrd Skynyrd
Let's not forget Rev Horton Heat, Megadeth, Danzig, Motley Crue, Spinal Tap, Alice in Chains, Stooges, Black Sabbath, Butthole Surfers, Warrant, Matthew Sweet, Stray Cats, Avenged Sevenfold, Suicidal Tendencies, Dick Dale, and arguably others -- ALL are their respective bands signature songs. I agree that the lack of, say, "Hot For Teacher" kinda blows, but I'm guessing most of the people complaining about the tracklist have just never heard of a lot of these bands. They should see that as a good thing. What a great way to discover tons of great music! This game would've absolutely blown my mind and hugely broadened my musical horizons if it had come out in the early 90s, when we had to discover bands like Rev Horton Heat and Butthole Surfers through word of mouth, flyers stapled to telephone poles and dubbed cassette tapes. Kids these days have it way too easy.
p.s. - I once sang Institutionalized with Thomas Howard Lichtenstein of DDR fame. True story!
