Yeah, I checked its wiki page and saw some more of the details. Can't say I'll be very excited as the majority of the playlist seems to be more of the same boring -.- but as soon as they make a game dedicated to prog I'll be there

Big Swifty - Zappa Kobaia - Magma One Word - Mahavishnu Orchestra Via Lumiere - PFM Cygnus X-1 - Rush Dundrets Fröjder - Samla Mammas Manna Sound Chaser - Yes Anything from Anglagard's Hybris Sleeping in Traffic - Beardfish Fiery Gun Hand - Cardiacs Peel the Paint - Gentle Giant Nord Company Vs. Lead Company - Happy Family Sun Symphonica - Jan Dukes de Grey Discipline - King Crimson Collapso - National Health Something by Return to Forever Breathless - Robert Fripp Aquanet - Spastic Ink (as the secret impossible bonus track) Hmm, I think that's enough for now, though most of my songs are mostly instrumental so I suppose it'd have to be a mostly instrumental game. Works for me

I dunno man, it's seems pretty intricate on Metallica's "One" during the fast bits.

Shakti - Mind Ecology would be awesome fun and hard
Jonas Hellborg - Time is the Enemy for expert guitar
Mr. Bungle - Squeeze Me Macaroni (vocals, guitar, drums, all fun)
Aghora - Dime
Genesis - Firth of Fifth

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

It would be interesting to try and play Cassandra Gemini. It would be fun to play Starless and Bible Black on Guitar, but even more fun to do vocals for A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers. Bands like Mahavishnu Orchestra or Henry Cow would be hard to play, I don't know how GH would represent some of Frith's guitar playing.

Maybe for the sake of it being prog the "Legends of Prog" game would only have 1 song on each tier for difficulty. Think about it
1. Easy
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond"
2. Harder, but still pretty easy
"Supper's Ready"
3. Mezzo-easy
"Thick as a Brick Pt. 1"
4. Medium
"Anesthetize"
5. Hard
"2112"
6. Even more difficult
"Gates of Delirium"
7. Experts
"Cassandra Gemini"
8. Arms falling off status
"In The Presence of Enemies"
That would screw pretty much anyone over.

They could put "Kayleigh", "Lavender" and "Easter" from Marillion on there, although those songs aren't too
proggy.
I think "Close To The Edge" or "Gates Of Delirium" would be insane, I would possibly buy it just for those 2.
Shame that GH doesn't have a synth controller, that would be so badass.

Guitar Hero II actually...
Tom Sawyer has is on the World Tour one I think as well. (Rush is pretty universal guitar rock I suppose)
If you buy Guitar Hero III for your PC, you can download tons of free charts that people have made, and all you have to do is some other fiddly stuff (which can be explained better by some Tutorial somewhere, so I'll leave it to them) and play pretty much any song you want. There is a site that has a HUGE database of songs.
If they don't have YOUR song, you could make it yourself, although it is quite tedious to do so.

YYZ has already appeared in a Guitar Hero game (GH3, I think).
Since Rock Band came out, both games are focusing on songs that have vocals, which is a shame because some of the best songs from the first three Guitar Hero games were instrumentals (such as YYZ). Not much prog finds it's way into Guitar Hero and Rock Band unless it's prog metal or Rush. Although several no-too-prog songs from bands in PA have been in past games.

In a similar vein of Prog Idol, list some prog songs that would be hard as hell on Guitar Hero... |
I understand they put "Seven" from Symphony X - Paradise Lost - on Guitar Hero already. If that ain't a bitch to play, I don't know what is!...
