What would a modern-day basement be without a pile of forgotten plastic instruments? Even Rock Band diehards like myself realize the band game fad is deader than your third grade Tamagotchi.
At its height, fake drums and guitars thrummed throughout the homes and bars of America, as would-be musicians strived for the slightest taste of rock glory. Artists and labels took note and made good money licensing their songs to Rock Band and Guitar Hero. A handful of bands were even exalted with their own dedicated titles. Not every music legend signed on, though

Genesis would be even better in the Peter Gabriel era when keyboard was king. Anything off the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway would be epic in Rock Band, especially The Colony of the Slippermen.

Phil Collins was featured in GTA VCS in 2 missions as himself + his "In the Air Tonight" and "Easy Lover" are on the radio.

Just as an aside, ABBA have not only appeared in a music game, but they've appeared in their very OWN music game here in Europe.

Just to clarify, I meant they have their very own singing game - as well as the dancing game you mention.
