Songs you'll never hear from SingStar


I do enjoy SingStar, probably the best use of technology for those too lazy to muck about with UltraStar code. Having reviewed the track listings for the new Anthems game coming out, I was struck by the fact that the only Pet Shop Boys song they could find was an Elvis cover.

Which got me thinking, how do they cull their playlists? 2 Jimmy Barnes songs is pretty bad (especially since one of them isn't Khe Shan...) and why Black Sabbaths Paranoid (why not Iron Man or War Pigs...).

Songs I'd like to see on Jeremy's SingStarRocks;
  1. I Wanna Rock - Twisted Sister
  2. Jump - Van Halen
  3. Legs - ZZ TOP
  4. MOFO on a MotorCycle - Machine Gun Fellatio
  5. Whip It - Devo
  6. I Love Rock and Roll - Joan Jett
  7. I Was Made for Loving you - KISS
  8. Mama Said Knock you out - LL Cool J
  9. God Save the Queen - Sex Pistols
  10. Killed by Death - Motorhead
  11. Back in Black - AC/DC
  12. Wild Hearted Son - The Cult
  13. Jane Said - Jane's Addicition
  14. Dancing With Myself - Billy Idol
  15. Welcome to the Jungle - Guns 'n' Roses
  16. Enter Sandman - Mettalica
  17. Dude loked like a lady - Aerosmith
  18. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zepplin
  19. Highway to the DangerZone - Kenny Loggins
  20. Rollercoaster - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
  21. Burden in My Hand - Soundgarden
  22. Greg the Stop Sign - TISM
  23. Candy - Iggy Pop
  24. Closer - Nine Inch Nails (but with this video)

Wow - that open source thingy sounds pretty cool. I'm tempted to download that and make a "They Might be Giants" playlist ! That would be pretty sweet ...
