Reply To: I <3 the Eighties!
There were a bunch of 80s (as well as late 70s) groups that we got in Rock Band after RB3 came out with the keyboard, particularly in the New Wave/Post-Punk genre, I had hoped it meant we would see more from those groups but outside of the initial releases for the most part we didn’t get much else. Then some groups such as Duran Duran came out way before RB3 that totally need keys and harmonies. Anyways, here’s a sort of dream list of songs I’d had hoped would come out for RB, hopefully some of them get customs someday:
The Cure – Boys Don’t Cry, Killing an Arab, In Between Days, The Hanging Garden
Depeche Mode – Everything Counts, Strangelove, Halo, Enjoy The Silence
Duran Duran – Save A Prayer, Planet Earth, The Reflex, New Moon On Monday
Echo and the Bunnymen – Lips Like Sugar, Ripeness, Bring On Dancing Horses, Seven Seas
Erasure – Chains of Love, Oh l’Amour, Who Needs Love Like That
A Flock of Seagulls – Space Age Love Song, Wishing
The Human League – Love Action (I Believe In Love), The Lebanon, Seconds
INXS – Original Sin, Devil Inside, New Sensation, Listen Like Thieves
Joy Division – Transmission, She’s Lost Control, Shadowplay, Dead Souls
Morrissey – Everyday Is Like Sunday, Suedehead, Interesting Drug, Last of The Famous Int’l Playboys
New Order – Dreams Never End, Age of Consent, Temptation, The Perfect Kiss, 1963
Oingo Boingo – Dead Man’s Party, Just Another Day, Little Girls
