Next Tuesday (6/2), the Rock Band video game series is releasing a 6-pack of songs called "Bonnaroo Mix 1". Songs included:
"Shimmer & Shine" Ben Harper and Relentless7 "A Favor House Atlantic" Coheed and Cambria "The Running Free" Coheed and Cambria "Wilson" (Live) Phish "Steady at the Wheel" Shooter Jennings "Wolf Like Me" TV on the Radio
Not really sure why Shooter Jennings is included, but what does everyone think of the songs? Should something else have been included or replaced?
They cost $2 each, or $10 for the set.
Other Bonnaroo 2009 artists already in Rock Band include Beastie Boys, NIN, Talking Heads (David Byrne), Elvis Costello, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Drive-By Truckers, Lucinda Williams, and Neko Case.

quack YEAH!!!
shimmer and shine and wilson
but we have a wii and no wifi
well i just saw this. and i guess it doesnt come on wii
That's a pretty diverse selection queued up for next week, but compared to the ruthlessly awesome lineup planned for the actual four-day-long concert, this modest six-pack of tracks reads like an index of squandered opportunity. Over 100 bands playing at the festival, and a third of the Bonnaroo track pack is from Coheed and Cambria? No Bruce Springsteen, Wilco, or Mars Volta? What's your ideal Bonnaroo six-pack?

Shooter was at Roo in 07 or 06 but I agree....it's odd seeing him on here. They coulda got a pearl jam or metallica or my morning jacket or a mars volta
I'll be getting "Wolf Like Me". They've had some good stuff coming out lately. Elvis Costello's Radio Radio was a couple weeks ago and a pack of Franz Ferdinand tunes was the week before that to mention a couple other Bonnaroo vets. Of course the big one was Pearl Jam's 'Ten' in its entirety back in March to correspond with it's being reissued. Great stuff!
Ive been waiting for a Phish song to be released since the original GH. So glad its coming out for Rock Band thought. (Sorry to any GH disciples but until you can bail each other out in full band mode Rock Band is running things). I wish they would say which Wilson version its going to be. Im guessing the one from A Live One.
i need more radiohead songs....i dont see what the problem is, i mean emi is whoring the radiohead catalog like no ones business anyways
I couldn't agree more and I couldn't be more tired of playing "My Iron Lung"... and I LOVE that song. I wish they'd do an entire album release of "The Bends". It would be the easiest to translate to RB. You're right about EMI whoring out the back catalog. At least this way, Id get some use out of the whoring. hahahaha.
I wish they would release by The Willing Well III: Apollo II: The Telling Truth - Coheed and Cambria. I've been stuck on this song lately for some reason.

Paranoid Android is beyond necessary for Rock Band. But EMI needs to whore themselves out for more money like they did with the reissues and just go ahead and sell all the songs they can that would work to Rock Band. I think some of HTTT would work pretty well too. But I've been saying since RB 1 came out that they need to do like a good music version. I can't believe there hasn't been a Guitar Hero game with the Dead or Phish because that would be awesome.

i still don't understand why people play video games like this...here's a good idea, why not try to play the real thing!?
playing the real guitar is actually cheaper than buying a gaming system and the video games.
sorry, but as a guitar player i just don't understand why people are led to believe they can really play the guitar when they play video games like these

Playing a video game guitar is nothing like playing a real guitar! I can play a pretend one but can't control my fingers enough to play a real one. The games are fun. Who cares?

I think most people who play video games understand they're just playing a game.
I play guitar and I have Rock Band. Guitar playing is fun. I'm not that good. I can write stuff, but I'll never be in a band. Playing Guitar Hero or Rock Band is a great party game. Drinking and having friends over to play, whether novices or experts at the game, make for a great time. It's like karaoke, only with drums and 2 guitars. How is that not fun?

Isn't EMI on the verge of being taken over by Warner? I can imagine that they might have bigger concerns than Rock Band at the moment.
