Willie the Pimp - Frank Zappa
La Villa Strangiato - Rush
Anything by Ozric Tentacles would be sweet


Then they should release a Guitar Hero 3.51 that includes sax, bassoon, and other instruments as an extension. It'd be... HENRY COW HERO

In a similar vein of Prog Idol, list some prog songs that would be hard as hell on Guitar Hero. That would include guitar, bass, a crappy drumset with only 6 different things to hit, and vocals. Unfortunately, no keyboards, or else choosing hard songs would be a lot easier.
 
Personally, I think I'd put these ones on:
 
Metropolis Pt. 1 - Dream Theater
Sound Chaser - Yes
21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson
Goliath - The Mars Volta
By-Tor And the Snow Dog - Rush
 
These would be some of the harder ones to play. Of course, these are pretty popular songs, I'm sure that many others could come up with some other ones.
 
Keep in mind a couple of things:
 
-There is no left foot pedal for the drums. That means lots of tricky hi-hat lifts will be a lot easier to play on the game and double bass sections will cut out all the hits that would be normally be done by the left foot.
 
-Extreme growls and screams are a no-no. A couple of lines like that is probably okay. Otherwise, nothing. That's why there are no Meshuggah songs on my list.
 
-Keep the length of the song shorter if you can. Nobody wants to play 20 minutes of "Gates of Delirium" no matter how hard it is (yes I realize all of them on my list were over 7 minutes long, but that's standard prog length my friend).
 
Anyways, I thought this would be a fun topic, even if some people here probably think it's a useless game that people play so they think they are good musicians.
