With this week marking the two year anniversary of the Rock Band: Harmonies Project, I thought it might be a nice time to run through some of my favourite upgrades since we’re rather light on the rest of the pomp and circumstance owing to our involvement in the C3 one year anniversary extravaganza. Many of you may wonder which songs have stood out to me in the 600+ harmony upgrades we’ve put together through the first two years of this project, and though you’ve seen the odd teaser in the descriptions of videos where I point out a song being a sleeper pick, I thought it would be best to give you more of a ‘cream of the crop’ sampler.

 

Note that it was extremely, extremely hard to try and cut a list like this down to the amount I was targeting (30 upgrades, which gives us basically the top 5%, and another 5 RBN tracks that stood out to me). I spent a lot of nights trying to whittle a list of 50-60 major standouts down to the ones I like the best. Note that your criteria as to what makes a ‘great’ harmony chart may differ from mine (and probably does), so I’ll give you the list of elements that factored into my decision.

• Improvement to the overall experience’ added by the upgrade. If a song gets a really big kick in the pants, by having more people singing parts or by improvements to the vocal experience, I consider that a huge improvement, and it might be the primary contributor towards my decision-making. Examples of songs that met this but did not survive my final cuts include Styx’s “Renegade”, Motley Crue’s “Kickstart My Heart”, and every single Bang Camaro song.
• Strength of the harmony chart. This is tougher to try and put objectively, but I personally give the edge to songs that have a lot of variation in the harmony parts (e.g. H2 does not mirror H3 except for pitches, but wicked-ass block harmonies would also count. Examples of songs ticking this box that did not make the cut include Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel’s “Make Me Smile”, Weezer’s “The Greatest Man That Ever Lived”, and both Inkubus Sukkubus upgrades.
• Suitability of the harmony part. A great call and answer section, or haunting/powerful harmonizing are a big consideration for me. This kind of ties into both of the above parts. Examples of songs with this trait that did not make the cut are Evanescene’s “Bring Me to Life”, Blink-182’s “Feeling This”, and REM’s “Orange Crush”.
• Strength of other upgrade components. This isn’t /solely/ a list, so edges were given to songs that stood to benefit from awesome pro drum upgrades and/or keys/pro keys upgrades (I don’t play PG/PB so I can’t consider those). Examples of songs that stood to greatly benefit from ‘added’ components that just failed to make the cut include Europe’s “The Final Countdown” (the horror!), Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” (gasp again!), and Seether’s “Remedy”.
• How much I like the actual song. This is a consideration, but a much smaller one than you would think. Songs I LOOOOOVE that almost made the cut include My Chemical Romance’s “Welcome to the Black Parade”, Lush’s “De-Luxe”, Elvis Costello’s “Radio Radio”.

 

I also tried to limit my list to one pick per artist to give some variety, so note that a number of songs would be left off for this reason alone.

 

So, with links to videos and brief explanations, and in alphabetical order by artist, here are my top 30 RBHP disc and DLC upgrades and my top 5 RBN upgrades.

 

The 20 Free DLC songs got a lot of flak, but if you haven’t given them a good look, there are a boatload of intricate and/or simple fun harmony parts in there. This, among several others, falls into the latter category, but the energy this song has is absolutely infectious (and it needs a keys upgrade!). Yelling the entirety of the chorus in a ‘good’ group is one of the most satisfying experiences I’ve had with this game. If you find this one a little tepid, play it loud and with a crowed.

 

All-American Rejects is a band with a number of great harmony upgrade candidates, but this is (in my opinion) the best of the bunch. Though it has a prominent and great lead vocal part for most of the song, you still get enough activity in the verses to keep it interesting, and it has a chorus with great pop on three parts. Plus, of course, the choir section is yet another one of those great ‘party/crowd moments’. The recently added keys part is just icing on the cake (be sure to keep an eye out for the new video, coming out… around the time of this post).

 

Fun fact: Alphabeat’s “Fascination” was the absolute first Rock Band: Harmonies Project upgrade charted (as my proof of concept). When the song initially came out, I immediately said to one of my friends “if we find a way to add harmonies, I will add them to this song”. A strong male/female vocal harmony runs through the verses the entire length of the song, with a third part that accents extremely well and provides a great high harmony in the chorus. Being able to properly map the alternating ‘bridge’ is fantastic, especially in the sections where it previously overlapped or transitions felt awkward. This is basically a three-part harmony track that is strong from start to finish, and it’s almost criminal it was not RB3 DLC.

 

You could pick any Boston song and it wouldn’t be a bad choice for this list, but this one gets the nod over the more ‘obvious’ choices for me because H2/H3 differ significantly from an already strong H1 through most of the song while remaining extremely active. The final note is some kind of amazing, too. But, really, if you object to this, just slot your favourite Boston upgrade in. The weakest Boston part is still probably a Top 50 all-time in the game.

 

This band had two DLC songs, iirc, and both of them could have made this list. Most pop punk-ish stuff is absolutely fantastic for RB harmonies (you’ll notice a trend on this list, even though it’s a genre I normally dislike), and this is a song that has well over three harmony parts to choose from, which made charting a bitch (and it made it an absolute pain in the ass for me to playtest/rewrite — this one got an almost total rewrite). If you can get a trio that can hit all three parts, the choruses are extremely satisfying to hit. The bridge is an absolute clusterfuck and I almost regret my mapping, but hey, some of these have to be hard, right? Oh, and let’s not forget the absolutely kick-ass pro keys part, which easily vaults this into my Top 30.

 

Let me get this out there first and foremost: I am Catholic, and I hate 99.9% of Christian Rock/Rap/Metal/whatever with a passion. This song fits into that 0.1%. The trading parts allow for far more activity in a party environment and keep the chart dynamic enough, and the chorus is absolutely fantastic with three vocalists — you really get to go back and forth, and it gives each singer the opportunity in the sunlight. It’s also really hard for me to not bounce around like a goddamn (er…) idiot when I hit the chorus. It’s a fabulous party selection, and hey, it helps that the band favourited my tweet announcing the video. Intangible rating benefit.

 

Much like Boston, I don’t think you can’t pick a bad Fleetwood Mac harmony part. World Turning gets the nod for me because it takes a solo vocal chart that contained two distinct vocal parts that would occasionally harmonize and allows us to correctly map them, including the ‘role reversals’ between Verse/Chorus 1 and 2, and we get to add the later, subtle H3 that was omitted from the original chart. The other Fleetwood Mac charts also stand better on their own as solo vocal parts, which makes me less inclined to give this one a nod. The only ‘downside’ to this song is you basically have a minute of instrumental at the end… but you don’t have to play the percussion part, so, another improvement!

 

Having only heard Chelsea Dagger prior to this three-pack hitting the store, I was very impressed with how A+++ it was for me on vocals and drums (among others). All three of these songs are in my consideration set for any harmonies setlist for different reasons, but Creepin’ Up the Backstairs gets the bonus for me for having the gradual introduction of H3 in the pre-chorus and chorus. If you look at entries before and after this you’ll see it also ticks off a number of items on my list — differs in spots, high tempo, good party song, greatly enhanced by the harmony. But, let the record know that Henrietta could have just as easily been in here, and it almost was (Flathead was definitely #3, but still high in my overall list).

 

This one is a perfect example of a song that I was lukewarm to until I noticed/charted/sung the harmony chart. This is an uptempo party-friendly song, the three harmony voices in the chorus cross over a bit which leads to great sound in local play (assuming people can sing), and it’s a great example of an early chart that featured one of my favourite components — simultaneous and different H1/H2/H3 parts. This one may hold a place in my list based purely on early RBHP nostalgia, but it’s worth noting a shot of this still comprises the Twitter background. Even if you hate her for shooting Kurt Cobain in the face, this song is a great RBHP contribution.

 

I don’t really know if this needs any additional description. I’m not even a huge fan of the song, but this one makes the list by virtue of being extremely popular, being a very involved/high degree of difficulty chart, and being an absolute adventure to put together. Plus, the venue is already mapped (somewhat) to the harmonies part, which is a pure bonus. If I ever got a good keys chart for this one, it’d be pretty high up, since it’s an extremely active keys part.

 

Though this song doesn’t see a dramatic change with the addition of a harmony part, the quality of play gets a big uptick in a group, and the moderate complexity makes it a good party track. The chorus, in particular, benefits (much as a track like My Generation would). The bridge into the outro is also pretty great from a harmonies part perspective. The only thing I don’t like is that some of the parts are mixed extremely quietly, which makes the chart difficult to read/hear (the H2 part in the outro got a lot of ??? feedback, BUT I SWEAR IT EXISTS). Also, I just really like this song.

 

One of four songs pksage was gracious enough to chart, Monster is a song with consistent, strong harmonies the entire way through, with harmonies that aren’t just pitch-shifted mirrors of each other and some differentiation in the choruses. We also get to map parts of the song that were otherwise clipped, which is a benefit. This was my least favourite of the Lady Gaga songs, too, but it’s my favourite harmony chart — proof that great harmonies can really help to improve a song.

 

Alright, this is absolutely going to be my most controversial inclusion. If you are not familiar with the… controversy (to put it lightly) regarding this band’s lead vocalist, please save yourself the emotional scarring and forget I even mentioned it. If you do, please do not derail this thread with that conversation. In any event, the Lego setlist was one that was full of absolute sleeper selections for me for DLC, and many of them resulted in great harmony upgrades that narrowly missed the cut for inclusion on my list. This was one that made it primarily on the strength of the second half and building upon an already interesting solo vocal part.

 

This is the poster child for differing H1/H2/H3 parts, and for charts that traumatized me with their creation. Yes, a lot of the early stuff consists of two vocalists singing the same parts, but there’s enough fluctuation between which parts are harmonizing to keep it interesting with three singers, and the outro is absolutely bonkers. I think The Main Drag have some fantastic harmonies and drum parts, and I would absolutely love to have more harmony parts and pro drum upgrades for their RBN songs SO IF YOU ARE READING THIS JOHN DRAKE NOW IS YOUR CHANCE.

 

What!? No “Welcome to the Black Parade”!? Well, no, sorry to disappoint. While that one was the one I was most looking forward to charting, and it’s a fantastic one that would have easily made my list without my one-per-artist restriction, I find this song benefits more from the added part. It’s not as “dead” (heh) for much of the song, and I’m a big fan of the bridge — enough so that it gives this song the edge over the equally fantastic “Welcome to the Black Parade”, but I’m sure anyone who has an interest in this project had already checked that one out. The segment starting at around 2:18 w/ the buildup through the end of the song is one of the most perfect harmony experiences the game has to offer.

 

No Doubt is kind of like Boston in that you could pick almost any song and be right — be it something ‘slower’ like Running (great keys part on that one), to something more uptempo. I’m still really sour we never got Trapped in a Box because THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN FANTASTIC. Anyway, when it came down to it, it was a three way tie for me between this, The Climb, and Tragic Kingdom. The latter got cut because the reasons I liked it were met by another song on the list, and The Climb got cut because it lost a coin toss. So you get Spiderwebs, which is great in the choruses, and has the amazingly wtf-to-chart part starting at around 2:20, which may not seem that bad when you look at it in-engine, so here’s a great shot of a small part of that sequence in REAPER. Yep.

 

With the selection of Offspring tracks in the game, many (all?) of which we have upgraded, this might seem like a weird pick, given how much it differs from most of their catalogue. But if you give it a listen, the manner in which it differs is what makes it a great selection for this project, and having song this with a group several times, it’s worked its way into my list. It really gets a kick in the pants when you revisit the chorus (at 2:48) and you carry that high through the outro.

 

Oh, hey, more pop-punky stuff. I don’t really have a lot to say, because this song is fairly repetitive in its construction, but this is an example of a song that makes the cut despite light complexity and lots of block harmony-type stuff. The beautiful chorus harmony, especially in the outro where most of the backing instrumentation drops away, is enough to have it make the cut. What it does, it does extremely well, and the keys/horn upgrade helps to give it the edge over other similar songs in the catalogue. It might be the RB2 song to benefit most from RBHP thanks to having both great harmonies AND a great keys part, and being just an ‘okay’ song otherwise (for me).

 

Though we have only done a handful of misheard lyric charts, and the Fall Out Boy one might be the most popular, this one is absolutely my favourite because it was based on a live performance of the song that some folks did at an event. If you’re wary about this song, I urge you to at least wait until the chorus for some fantastic lyrics. I would personally love to do many, many more misheard lyric charts, but some of our strongest candidates are post-RB3 songs or songs with an on-disc RB3 upgrade, and the game does not like processing RBHP-style upgrades, so we would need to find a keys-style workaround.

 

Queen songs have many harmony parts. Many Queen songs have upgrades. This is the best. EOM.

 

It certainly helps that this is absolutely one of my favourite songs to sing, but the three part harmony in the chorus sounds extremely good. Despite being one of the quickest songs to chart on this list, I have always felt this is one of the better ones. The harmony part does not overstay its welcome or feel like it’s trying to do too much, which is admittedly something that caused a number of songs to fail to make the cut.

 

This is certainly one of the on-disc songs I was most excited to upgrade, as I felt it was one of the RB1 disc songs that suffered the most by not having a harmony part, even though the critical parts all hit PART VOCALS. It also stands out as one of the early ‘hard’ upgrades I had charted, given some of the pitches complexity and the way the audio was mixed together. It’s also a fantastic song, and the whole package is even better with three vocalists… and let the record show that this was the best Rolling Stones song to get if we were to only get one Rolling Stones song.

 

An early addition and an early contribution, this to me is an example of a PERFECT two part song. It doesn’t run too long. The vocals are prominent, if not a primary instrument. It’s relatively up tempo, despite sounding like a slower song. The two harmonies mesh extremely well and are quite haunting — and can still be hit reasonably well so that it sounds decent at a party. It winds down nicely at the end, too. Yes, a lot of it is subjective, but anyone arguing against Simon & Garfunkel on a list like this must only be doing so because they would have rather had “I Am a Rock”. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif”>

 

One of the most recent additions to the project, this is a different example of a PERFECT two part song. It doesn’t run too long. It’s quite up tempo. H2 differs from H1 in a few spots. The pre-chorus build-up is great. The harmonies are offset in the chorus (and, again, differ call-and-response-style). It has a fantastic vocal ending. It’s just absolutely aces and I wish I had charted it sooner.

 

This is not the greatest upgrade in the world — no, this is just a tribute. I’m not going to bore you with this one, because it might seem like a weird inclusion given how small/minimal it was, but this one makes the list solely based on party power and approachability. Plus, even if you feel like a total idiot singing “Dee soo guh goo gee goo gee”, it’s deceptively amazing how much better that experience gets with someone adding “oh” every so often.

 

It’s the best fucking bonus song in the franchise and you are a horrible person if you don’t like it. Adding harmonies to bolster the already incredible lead vocal line is purely bonus.

 

A lot of people seem to take a big dump on the VAGIANT/Tijuana Sweetheart vocals for whatever reason. One of a handful of two-part charts to make the list, the harmony addition is only found in a few select spots, but they enhance the ‘oomph’ of the lead vocal, giving it a more powerful feeling (especially going into the chorus, and double especially at 3:40 when the instrumentation cuts down for that pass. Basically, this song is good and something I will play as a random yet not seek out as a solo selection, but with a competent partner to sing lead or harmony, this becomes a must play for me. When a chart improves that much, that’s enough to get it onto my list.

 

Remember when I said Tragic Kingdom failed to make the list because another song ticked off the same boxes? This was it. Though it starts off pretty slow, it picks up steam as it goes along — leading into the fantastically chaotic and energetic outro where you’ve got three different parts mapped at the same time (A++++ would buy again). The instrument-light call and response bit coming out of Chorus 2 is just great, too. Tragic Kingdom ticked most of these same boxes, but American Music does it — and does it much better.

 

Weezer had a boatload of candidates, as evidenced by the fact that Greatest Man was cut, but this Red Album gem makes my list. With the abundance of up-tempo stuff on my list, it’s great to get something a ‘little’ slower that satisfies a number of my tickboxes (variety between parts, steady harmony presence, call/response, decent blocks). If it seems a little flat to you, skip to 2:00 and watch through to the end to the significant improvement afforded to the chart by virtue of being able to chart a number of backing/secondary vocalist traits and not just having them disappear into backing. HM to The Greatest Man That Ever Lived for being nearly six minutes of awesome and for the

.

 

As evidenced a few times earlier in this list, I have a soft spot for great two-part harmony vocal charts, especially when the song underneath them is absolutely aces. This one for me is the highlight of the X pack (a pack with great harmony parts) with its male/female harmonies and alternating sections. It’s a song with fantastic build-up to each chorus, too, so, you guessed it — great for parties. This is one of the better two-parters in the entire game, and certainly one of the best punk two-parters, so it would almost be shameful to NOT include it. The now-charted spoken word crazy-ass outro is just a huge bonus, and it was fun to figure out (and something I’ve done a few times to mostly positive review — “Everlong” being a great example).

 

RBN BONUS SELECTIONS

I also wanted to touch on some of my favourite RBN picks (to date), even though (as I’m sure you’ve noticed) RBN upgrades have dropped off a bit. I very rarely get this contributed, audio access is a little trickier, it’s harder to find people willing to rip the audio, and the overall ‘value’ is less due to the lower availability of these. Nevertheless, I still love doing RBN upgrades, and through our first 50 or so, here are five I would consider my favourites.

 

A back and forth male/female harmony part in verses, with a solid 3-pt chorus, and a great outro gang vocal. The pro drums upgrade was also a solid add to this one. This was a fun one to chart and it’s always a fun one to sing with a partner (the third part is a bonus, but this is great even with just two).

 

This song is so good. So, so good. It’s a shame it was $3, and is no longer available. If you were lucky enough to get it, you can get this awesomely revamped pro drum chart, and a fairly decent harmony part. Despite this being a something without a super complex/involved harmony part, and the improvement from the harmony to the experience is only moderate, the PD upgrade and suitability/value add of the harmony part in the chorus are enough to have it make the cut for now.

 

At first, I, like most people, was a little disappointed to get this mix versus the mix originally heard in the flash animation; however, the way this one is put together makes for a far more interesting harmony part. The chorus is good, the Chuck Norris sequence having backing hop between two singers is a good show piece, and the outro is a very involved/interesting three-parter (eyeball the video after 3:45).

 

When RBN was young, I used to listen to every song and see what sounded fun, and I was extremely hyped when I hear this one, because it fit into that niche of songs that sound like they’d be great for Rock Band. Unfortunately, the original was a fucking mess across every instrument, spoiling what was otherwise a great pick. Fortunately, I was able to perform surgery on the vocal chart for its RBHP release, and what you get is a great three-part harmony and a fun solo vocal track. When the leaderboards go poof and RBHP branches out a little more in the realm of fixes, I expect we’ll have someone fixing up the other busted parts, and we might be able to salvage this baby.

 

Anyone that knows me knows I love this band, and I am surprised and thrilled with the number of songs we got from them. Your Hands (Together) is my favourite of the two RBN tracks, but I think this is the better upgrade, thanks to the chorus, harmonized whistling (hah), and the outro from 3:42 through the end. That latter part is just an absolutely fantastic harmony part, and a great way to wind the song down.

 

In any event, those are my selections as we stand today (you’ll notice this list differs somewhat from the ‘top 30’ playlist I had on my channel — that one is admittedly obsolete). Of course, the project is not and has never been solely about ‘me’, and as we enter into the third year of the project, I’m curious as to what some of your favourites (to date have been). ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif”>

Happy Anniversary to an amazing project and a great team mate. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif”>

[funkydunkleman]

Thanks for all your work. I’m really thankful for you bringing the much needed harmonies to the No Doubt tracks.

[RBPUK]

Happy Anniversary to your project.

 

I’m just getting into these upgrades and I’m still trying to get my head around things! I will be using C3tools to apply the upgrades to cons but I still have a few questions:

 

I see there are several upgrade options ie – harmonies, keys, pro Guitar/Bass and fixes etc, are all upgrades automatically applied to each file? For instance I applied Europe’s Final Countdown harmony upgrade and discovered the keys were also applied. So is this the norm? Will all optional upgrade parts be applied to each main upgrade file?

 

If optional upgrades are not applied then in which order should these be applied. Do I upgrade the harmonies bit first and then add, lets say, pro guitar later? Will doing this in the incorrect order corrupt the file?

 

I just want to clarify these things before I mess things up! Thanks

[JrMan]

Thanks for all the hard work you’ve put in these.

 

They’re so much fun to play ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />

[espher]

Happy Anniversary to your project.

 

I’m just getting into these upgrades and I’m still trying to get my head around things! I will be using C3tools to apply the upgrades to cons but I still have a few questions:

 

Optional upgrades all contain the base upgrade, when applicable, so TFC keys would have keys and harmonies.

 

Paste the folders of the upgrades you want over top of the others. It’s a bit of a mess as to what has what, but the order should be Harmonies, then any of the fixes, then paste over top with Keys, then paste over top with Pro Guitar/Bass.

[coolfeline]

Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that it was coming up until this past weekend, so… no surprise release or anything. Sorry. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_frown.gif” />

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_frown.gif” />

 

Well, happy birthday anyway!

 

 

That no made me laugh so hard I wet my pants and then drank half a bottle of beer.

Great stuff! I’ve been waiting a long time for the Tom Petty harmonies. Well worth the wait! Thanks!!!

[Deadly Robots]

Just a head’s up, the folder for the base harmonies upgrade for “Real Good Looking Boy” is called “realgoodlooking” while the optional keys upgrade is “realgoodlookingboy”. I don’t imagine that’s likely to cause any serious issues, but I wanted to let you know just in case it trips someone up as it almost did with me.

I renamed the regular one when I caught the short name was realgoodlooking, but missed keys. Whoops.

 

Thanks for catching it. Will upload some fixed archives in a couple.

[DVDSmith]

Holy crap, now that’s something I never thought I’d see – a keys upgrade for my favourite Who song. MarsPhoenix, you rock.

[espher]

Let’s have a little fun.

 

Since charting these release has been extremely hard on my head, I need to do something to break up the rote monotony of charting things. So, contest time!

 

Here’s a screenshot of segments of four songs I’m working on (it links to a bigger version, don’t worry). I’ve hidden the section of the song the tubes are in, as well as the lyric events. The first person to correctly identify the artist gets to pick a pack (or possibly an album, we’ll see) for which I will chart harmony upgrades for the August 29th release. You get bonus nerd points if you can pick out the songs.

 

http://i.imgur.com/Ll6UMtjs.png

 

This contest is not open to authors who have heard my rage over some of the tracks featured in this release. If nobody guesses right, it will close as soon as I upload the first video from this artist (likely in a week from today).

 

Hope you kids like rectangles.

 

Oh, and if you think this is tricky, I managed to identify Spice Girls – Wannabe from this image that toops posted for a similar type of contest for GHtoRB3 in 2012. Bring your A game, kids. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif”>

[funkydunkleman]

Well there goes 15 minutes I could have spent charting. I’m officially stumped. I even tried to cheat by writing those notes in reaper and playing them back. If I’ve purchased any of those songs, I should be thrown out a window.

 

On the bright side, most of the tracks I wanted harmonies on, you’ve done by now.

[Sideshow]

Could it be Spinal Tap 01 pack? If not then Spoon had a 4 pack as well.
