Lego and Rock Band: Two great tastes that taste great togeths? I vote yes. Hells yes. The latest baby in the cheeky Lego videogame family is a brick-and-mortar-more brick version of the popular Rock Band franchise. It should be out in time for the holidays.
According to a press release, this release includes "Song 2," "Kung Fu Fighting," "The Final Countdown," "Boys and Girls," and "So What." Uh…how do you not have "Brick House"? Is "Brick" too big a bummer? Was "Another Brick in the Wall" too tough to adapt? The Cowboy Junkies’ "Working on a Building" seems obvious, though I’d settle for "Building a Mystery." If only there were a song called "what happened to the one effing piece I was looking for," Lego Rock Band would really be in business. Also, they have to include "Fell In Love with a Girl," right?
Okay, PopWatchers, snap this into place: What songs do you want to see and hear on Lego Rock Band?
I hope the Legoman does the GOB dance during Final Countdown.
Humm…For a reason, this is way too exciting!!!! I love the Lego games!
Yes!
My picks:
–Something punchy by The White Stripes (“Blue Orchid,” “Hardest Button to Button”?)
–The Black Keys (“Set You Free” or “10 A.M. Automatic” would be semi-familiar from being used in commercials)
–Spoon’s “I Summon You”
–”Take Me Out” by Franz Ferdinand
I own the Lego Star Wars, Indiana Jones & Batman games, but I don’t see myself buying this one. I suck at the Rock Band games, and this just doesn’t seem as cool to me.
A-ha…..Take On Me.
My vote would be for Dire Straight’s “Money for Nothing”, if only that the video graphics in the awesome 80′s video always reminded me of a lego man.
They need to find a song with a title like “Two pieces are stuck together and my mom told me I can’t use my teeth to get them apart because I might break a tooth, and though I don’t know if I believe that, I really want to get these pieces unstuck, so I use my teeth, but just really quickly because surely if I’m quick I won’t break a tooth, and she probably won’t see me doing it.”
Starship’s “We Built This City”
‘Take Me Out” was already on Guitar Hero 1 (in response to melissa). I vote for “Eye of the Tiger” by Sweet.
Something by Bloc Party?
OK Go’s “Here it Goes Again”. For some reason it (and a lot of these suggestions) really fit that LEGO mood. Awesome.
When will they make a Lego game about me?
LEGO Rock Band is a stupid idea.
I mean it would be fun if it was downloadable, but as a full priced game it makes little sense to fork over the cash to play the exact same game but with Lego caricatures. Music games aren’t about who’s in it anyway, it’s about the songs. I wouldn’t even pay attention to the blocks dancing around and there would be no building- I’d be focusing on hitting the notes. Why not just play the actual Rock Band? If people want these new songs, they could have easily been add-on material. This is shameless exploitation at it’s worst.
Mary,
Eye of the Tiger is by Survivor, Frank Stallone’s band. The Sweet wrote Ballroom Blitz and Love is like Oxygen.
Lego Rock Band is funny but unneeded.
Obscure one…Aimee Mann album track “Build That Wall”
