Rock Band and Guitar Hero helped shaped my music taste into what it is today and I though it would be a great idea to celebrate these great Rock Band soundtracks by ranking them from worst to best. 1) PM me ( razorshark ) your rankings of the Rock Band Soundtrack. Rank the songs by your preference from #1 (best) down to #72 (worst). 2) 1 point for #1 and 72 points for #72 and on and on 3) The due date for submission is tentatively set for Saturday July 24, 2021 at 10PM EST. 4) ALL songs must be ranked. 5) To avoid sending me a list with extra lines, please click BBCode below the text box before you paste your list. 6) The rankings of each participant will be posted when a song is revealed during this Rankdown. 7) You can make changes to your list but try not to do so excessively. A few notes on this soundtrack: Covers were used on a few songs, namely Ballroom Blitz, Green Grass And High Tides, Mississippi Queen, Paranoid, Run To The Hills, Tom Sawyer, and Train Kept A Rollin. I'd prefer if we all rank the original recordings, which I have in the Spotify Playlist, I can't really stop you from ranking the covers though, but then you'd have to listen to the covers and they aren't very good so I don't know why you'd do that. Rock Band had releases for the Nintendo Wii and in Europe which added songs to the soundtrack. We will be ranking those songs here. Vagiant is now knows as Tijuana Sweetheart, and will be referred to as Tijuana Sweetheart from this moment on. The list of songs we'll be ranking is below The Acro-Brats – Day Late, Dollar Short Aerosmith – Train Kept-A-Rollin All American Rejects – Dirty Little Secret Anarchy Club – Blood Doll The B-52’s - Roam Bang Camaro – Pleasure(Pleasure) Beastie Boys - Sabotage Black Sabbath - Paranoid Blue Oyster Cult – (Don’t Fear) The Reaper Blur - Beetlebum Bon Jovi – Wanted Dead Or Alive Boston – Foreplay/Long Time The Clash – Should I Stay Or Should I Go Coheed And Cambria – Welcome Home Crooked X - Nightmare David Bowie – Suffragette City Death Of The Cool – Can’t Let Go Deep Purple – Highway Star Die Toten Hosen – Hier Kommt Alex Faith No More - Epic Fall Out Boy – Dead On Arrival Flyleaf – I’m So Sick Foo Fighters – Learn To Fly Freezepop - Brainpower Garbage – I Think I’m Paranoid H-Blockx – Countdown To Insanity The Hives – Main Offender Hole – Celebrity Skin Honest Bob And The Factory To Dealer Incentives – I Get By Iron Maiden – Run To The Hills Jet – Are You Gonna Be My Girl Juli – Perfekte Welle The Killers – When You Were Young Kiss – Detroit Rock City The Konks – 29 Fingers Les Wampas – Manu Chao Metallica – Enter Sandman Molly Hatchet – Flirtin’ With Disaster The Mother Hips – Time We Had Mountain – Mississippi Queen Muse - Hysteria The New Pornographers – Electric Version Nine Inch Nails – The Hand That Feeds Nirvana – In Bloom Oasis – Don’t Look Back In Anger Oasis – Rock N Roll Star Ok Go – Here It Goes Again The Outlaws – Green Grass And High Tides Pixies – Wave Of Mutiliation Pleymo – New Wave The Police – Next To You The Police - Roxanne Queens Of The Stone Age – Go With The Flow Radiohead - Creep Ramones – Blitzkrieg Bop Ramones – Rockaway Beach Red Hot Chili Peppers – Dani California REM – Orange Crush The Rolling Stones – Gimme Shelter Rush – Tom Sawyer Smashing Pumpkins – Cherub Rock Soundgarden – Black Hole Sun Stone Temple Pilots - Vasoline The Strokes - Reptilia Sweet – Ballroom Blitz Tijuana Sweetheart – Seven Timmy And The Lords Of The Underworld – Timmy And The Lords Of The Underworld Tokio Hotel - Monsoon Tribe - Outside Weezer – Say It Ain’t So The Who – Won’t Get Fooled Again Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps 3 songs don't appear on Spotify or in the case of Brainpower are different enough that I've included Youtube links {Rock/Alt Tag List}

Do you guys think I should mention other Rock Band appearances of all these acts as extras?? Or should I save that for reveals??
Also if this does well I'll do the other game soundtracks, and if it does REALLY well I'll compile dlc from the series and do those as well. There is a lot of good stuff all around so I think this could be a hit.

man this is already bringing back memories. I remember "Frantic On Friday" riding on "Shake It Up" 's melody. I could have used a few more Freezepop jams on this list. They the American version of Mexico's Belanova. ANyway for the Freezepop fans. They have new album "Fantasizer" out now.

Might join in on this but I'd 100% do a Guitar Hero rankdown, I've considered hosting a Guitar Hero series of each game myself but I know how my past attempts at rankdowns have gone

I'm definitely going to put an extension on this since I still have only 1 list. Whenever 1981 Mainstream is finished revealing I'll close this since I think I'll get most of that same crowd here.

I've pushed this back 2 weeks until the 23rd so 1981 Mainstream will have the chance to reveal. I still only have my list and one other. I also gave up on the pre-reveal extras since I was never into Guitar Hero outside of the first 2 and the 80s game and looking up songs is a lot more work than I thought it would be. I'll provide extras during reveals for other Rock Band appearances of artists featured on the soundtrack. |

1 Week left to get your lists in. Since the last reminder I've recieved lists from Red and rowellfarm490 and I wanted to thank them for restoring my faith here. I'll be ramping up reminders to every other day, and then every day for the last 3 days. If anyone feels like they need even more time after that then please let me know and I'll give extensions if they are needed. I'll also look forward to doing Rock Band 2, 3, 4 and Lego(trust me, there are some gems here) in the future if this goes well. |

I wanted to thank Gonza'90 and Doc Indie Party Rock for submitting since the last reminder. A quick reminder too. May as well give a few tidbits about the ranking too. No one has the same #1, and the Rankdown #1 has changed with every submission so far. The current overall #1 has no top 3s but I think that will change if we get a few more lists. There are currently ties at 5, 17(3 way), 22, 27, 32, 37, 46, 56, and 63 |

5 ish days reminder, depends on if people want extensions in a few days. I also said I didn't have other ideas for extras but then I remembered that Rock Band still puts out DLC to this very day. This week's DLC is from The Apples In Stereo and Reel Big Fish

I hope to have my list in by tonight as I listen all day.

There's a little over 5 hours left until I put a soft close on submissions for this rankdown. Which is just enough time to listen through the list of songs if you choose. I'm preparing(stealing from Red) some questions to ask before reveals start(hopefully tomorrow). Looking beyond the taglist at people who have reacted in this thread so far I probably should have added craziaskowboi Sambalada and matteeeb to the tags. If you still intend to submit but will be late then let me know(or if you no longer want to submit let me know, that will also make things easier.) |
