I was actually just about to post the same thing. Man it's been ages since I posted here. Anyways, I'm thinking most of Burn Burn would be amazing.

Monkey Brains though would be absolute full band AWESOME. As would anything OLP. I think they should go for it.

EDIT: Here's the full press release from the Rock Band forums

This is a group that will chart songs for artists, they simply split the profit. But with a service like that I think the band (ok, or maybe just Rock Band playing OLP fans like me) would really be missing out if they chose not to get some stuff put in the game. It wouldn't even take the group too much extra work.

I would personally love any part of the OLP catalogue, even if I have to get re-records.

I just wanted to bump this since there is a lot more info on the service now, including the tools available. In addition to a beta where people can attempt to chart their own songs and such.

It appears as though HMX doesn't plan on releasing OLP as regular DLC any time soon (Though I would LOVE to be surprised one Friday afternoon)

So I, as a fan, would REALLY like the band to look into this.

I want the band to at least think of this from the perspective that I do:

It is not compromising the sincerity of the music. It's not about pretending you can play guitar, or drum, or sing, etc. To me it's another way of experiencing your music and interacting with it. That's why I enjoy it so much. I love nothing more than listening to my music, but at the same time. It would be odd to sit and JUST listen to music.

If I were listening to music pre-Rock Band, it would just be reading. Or taking a walk. With music on the background.

The games put music on the forefront and then give you something to do while you listen without taking your attention away from the music. In fact, it makes you focus on the music more.

I'm not (immediately) asking for the band's entire discography, just a few songs to satisfy some fans.

I don't think anyone could really look at the game and say "this is terrible" when they understand what it's really about. Contrary to what some may believe, most Rock Band players don't actually think they're making any real musical accomplishments. It's just for fun.

Edit: wanted to add some links

http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=156832 that is a list of groups willing to do all the nitty gritty technical work involved in getting the songs functional in game. Meaning all the band would have to do is get the needed material to whatever group they choose. Some groups want a flat fee, others want to split profit. However the band so chooses to do things.

The above link is a current PROSPECTIVE songlist, as you can see, there is a pretty decent number. I think OLP would easily be one of the bigger hits, in fact, they, along with The Tragically Hip and Matthew Good have been pretty strongly requested in the RB community, especially among Canadian users. There's a decent number of USA users requesting it as well

Glad to see this is a possibility. Keep us posted Trusty!

[Carson79]

Aww! It would have to be ready REALLY fast but it would be something pretty damn cool to sell during the Canadian tour!

I think TW is saying if yo make it he will share it... you know. YOU make it. He never really said that its a possibility.
