So I just played Rock Band on X Box 360 for the first time yesterday and have had previous addictions connected to the Guitar Hero series. I have always wished that there was an indie version of the game. If you agree, list five songs from five different "indie" (interpret however you will, this isn't a discussion on what's "indie") rock bands that you wish were playable on the game. I'll obviously start:

Deerhoof - "The Perfect Me" from Friend Opportunity
Built To Spill - "Carry The Zero" from Keep It Like A Secret
Dinosaur Jr. - "Pick Me Up" from Beyond
Marnie Stern - "Put All Your Eggs In One Basket And Then Watch That Basket!!!" from In Advance of the Broken Arm
Black Mountain - "Stormy High" from In The Future

I can't stop! Here are five more to add to the wish list:

Sunset Rubdown - "The Mending Of The Gown" from Random Spirit Lover
Pumice - "Northland" from Pebbles
No Age - "Neck Escaper" from Weirdo Rippers
Lightning Bolt (on Bass obviously) - "On Fire" from Wonderful Rainbow
Shining - "In The Kingdom Of Kitsch You Will Be A Monster" from Grindstone

Wall to wall Built to Spill.

Also, Chavez - The Guard Attacks

Very nice!

Chavez is so cool, and Built to Spill should be a household name.

Beat me to Sunset Rubdown's Mending of the Gown.

Atlas by Battles
Bright LightsTyrants by Black Mountain (16 minutes is too long lol)

Yeah, I could just imagine jamming out to that on Rock Band.
Some more:
Les Savy Fav "The Sweat Descends"
Mclusky "To Hell With Good Intentions"
The Blood Brothers "Love Rhymes With Hideous Car Wreck"
Frank Zappa "Peaches en Regalia"
Tom Waits "Lie To Me"

If they just made a Fugazi stand-alone version, I would lose my job. Probably two or three of my friends would, too.

Fugazi would be great, but is perhaps the most unlikely of bands to ever license their music away to something like this.

Yeah, good call, they would never agree to that. I'd settle for one more tour at this point.

GUITAR HERO: PRIMUS VERSION

John the Fisherman is already in one of the guitar hero game, but it will be awesome to add all these songs:

Mr Knowitall
Tommy the cat
My name is Mud
Nature boy
Wynona's big brown beaver
Shake hands with beef
Puddin' taine
Lacquer head
and more

One Big Holiday - My Morning Jacket
Daft Punk - Aerodynamic
Art Brut - Direct Hit
The Decemberists - Chimbly Sweep
The National - Slipping Husband
Silver Jews - Punks in the Beerlight
The Wrens - Hopless

And of course, most songs by Built to Spill, preferably Conventional Wisdom and I Would Hurt a Fly

Phoenix - Consolation Prizes
Kevin Drew - Big Love
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Let the Cool Godess Rust Away
Broken Social Scene - Ibi Dreams of Pavement(I'm surprised this one hasn't been mentioned yet)
Figurines - I Remember
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Storm - At least the first 6 minutes. The build up is amazing.

That would be incredible.

Television - Marquee Moon
Richard Hell and the Voidoids - Love Comes in Spurts
Modest Mouse - Other People's Lives
Smashing Pumpkins - Quiet
Mclusky - Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues

I love Broken Social Scene as well, good to see another fan. Here are some of my picks. I'm think of this more as a "Rockband" list but whatever.

Beck - Hotwax / Odelay!

Deerhoof - Wrong Time Capsule / Runners Four

Jim O'Rourke - All Down Hill From Here / Insignificance

Sonic Youth - Rain on Tin - Murray Street

Yo La Tengo - Sugarcube - I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One

* one extra one for the fellow BSS fan:
Pacific Theme - You Forgot it in People

Good lists. Hard to pick just five. Mine is obviously in alphabetical order, any guess why? lol. Keep 'em coming.

John Fahey - the assassination of stephan Grossman/approaching of the disco void
Gun club - preaching the blues
