Not sure if serious…?

That’s not entirely true. I’ve lost count of the songs that have been requested and that have already been charted or will be in the near future.
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” /> Requesting may not do much in terms of making people spend 20 hours on a song they don’t enjoy, but it’s fun to see that more than a few people will have their wish granted.

Yeah. I know. I was just goofing off as usual. But it’s not like songs were fulfilled by request, merely coincidence that the charter was working on something another person wants, or in your case working on something your wife wants. I gotta figure out how to get in good with her, so I can get my requests fulfilled.
Perhaps send her some flowers and a mixed tape.

Ah, yes, trying to get with the author’s wife, the best way to convince him to do songs you like.

June 6, 2013 at 9:09 pm #400697Get with her, naaaaah? Just trying to influence her with a little flower manipulation. Then hopefully after she hears my awesome mixed tape she’ll be begging you to add those songs.
June 6, 2013 at 9:16 pm #400699How have we gotten this far in the thread with ZERO mention of PRINCE! To me he’s at the top of the list for “songs that would be awesome to play in rock band that could never, ever get officially licensed”. Something like Let’s Go Crazy would just be utterly amazing in Rock Band.Because none of the charters like him. Can you believe it? This board is just like the Ultimate Setlist board. No matter how much we want something, it ain’t gonna happen.
Whoa, hey, sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way there. I wasn’t complaining that nobody had charted Prince yet- I realize this is entirely a volunteer endeavour and people are going to do the songs they dig. I was just surprised that nobody else in a three-page long wishlist thread on ’80s songs they would like to see had mentioned him yet, that’s all. No knock meant towards the fine folks who chart at all. Honestly some of the things they do that I never wouldn’t have even thought of requesting, like Santo & Johnny, are some of the most awesome things out there.
June 6, 2013 at 9:54 pm #400703The ’80’s was a big decade in terms of music, too. I’m still coming up with songs that no one seems to remember, that are etched indelibly on my psyche. Odd songs from artists already in RB, some big artists that people seem to have overlooked, and a metric buttload of one-hit wonders. If I hadn’t lost all of the song rating data from my iTunes library, I’d have even more.
I hesitate to add them for fear of distracting these wonderful people from the work that they are already doing.
June 7, 2013 at 1:07 am #400729First off just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone making this possible. Just found out about this site and I amazed at the work that the charting guys put in.
+1 for Midnight Oil
+1 for One Night in Bangkok
Personally I would love to see the whole Def Leppard Hysteria album.
June 7, 2013 at 1:24 am #400730I would also love the Hysteria album!
June 7, 2013 at 7:29 am #400741+1 for Hysteria, although I wouldn’t mind some later Leppard too (Let’s Get Rocked, Make Love like a Man, C’mon C’mon). But this is the ’80s thread, so yeah, Rocket, Armageddon It, and the title track.
June 7, 2013 at 8:28 am #400742I would also love the Hysteria album!Yup!

The fact that there is no Prince just “makes me so mad!”
June 30, 2013 at 11:19 am #402489I’m quickly gonna put up another request I would love to see in Rock Band:
Laura Branigan – self control (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jReLLA6OsnE)
That must be awesome in an 80s playlist.
June 30, 2013 at 3:13 pm #402499Back on page 1, someone requested..
Joe Jackson – Steppin out
This is probably going to be one of the ones that I work on as he is one of my favorite artists.
EDIT: I had another listen to the song today. Bass will be really interesting, there is no guitar part and keyboard will be fun to mess around with.
I may go with this as my next project with the opportunity to practice a vocal track.

That would be awesome! I love that song. It brings back memories of my childhood whenever I hear it.
