Over at the RockBand.com forums, @HMXHenry posted a poll asking for community feedback regarding which band-centric games, if any, you would be interested in. There are currently five bands listed:

• The Eagles
• Pink Floyd
• Led Zeppelin
• U2
• Queen

There’s also a section where you can write in a band that you think should have it’s own game (i.e. Muse), so if you want to be heard, head on over and fill it out.

And just for the record, I selected Led Zeppelin and U2… I encourage you to do the same!

[Thanks @sumboxcar182!]

Destructoid put up a post earlier this morning about a survey sent out from NPD, a global provider of market research data, about people’s feelings towards an artist-specific music game.  As you can see above, they actually called out a number artists for Rock Band that we’ve already heard rumors about: Pink Floyd, Queen, The Who, and U2. There have also been rumors lately of Guitar Hero titles featuring the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but what I find interesting is that the survey specifically mentions “This game will only contain music created from the specified artist.” While Harmonix has been taking this approach with both the Beatles and Green Day, Guitar Hero’s Aerosmith, Metallica, and Van Halen titles have had a healthy smattering of other artists. If the Red Hot Chili Peppers rumor turns out to be true, is Guitar Hero again reading from Harmonix’s play book and only having a single on-disc artist?

While I know a lot of people are against the idea of single-artist discs, I think a few of them are still good ideas. I think a Led Zeppelin game would sell very well. I also think a U2 game well sell equally well, although I may be biased because I’m a big U2 fan.

I could be way off, though. What do you guys think? Add some artists in the comments from above and any others that you can think of that you would purchase if they made an artist-specific game.

Score another one for the rumor mill! Freddie Mercury and the rest of the boys from Queen (Brian May, John Deacon, and Roger Taylor) will be making an appearance in their Lego form in Lego: Rock Band. And by the look of Freddie Mercury, it appears their using his 1986 Magic Tour likeness! See them in glorious action below!

No surprise here, as it was previously announced that we would be seeing a Queen 10-pack served up as DLC for next week. Since the pricing for the Queen pack was previously unannounced, I can now say that the pack will be $15.99/1280 Microsoft Points.  If you’re too lazy to click the link above, here are the songs in the pack again:

• “Another One Bites the Dust”
• “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”
• “Fat Bottomed Girls”
• “I Want It All”
• “I Want to Break Free”
• “Killer Queen”
• “One Vision”
• “Somebody to Love”
• “Tie Your Mother Down”
• “Under Pressure”

Also, for you PSP owners, here’s next week’s Rock Band: Unplugged DLC tracks:

• Blink-182 – “The Rock Show”
• The Offspring – “All I Want”

Don’t forget… next week we will also be seeing the Beatles’ album ‘Abbey Road’ released as DLC for The Beatles: Rock Band, as well!

And for no other reason other than I feel like it, here’s an old picture of me walking the cross walk at Abbey Road. FYI, it is a busy street (notice the car about to hit me coming from the right).
