Now that Rock Band has released the six albums they announced last year, those of us who play the game are anxiously awaiting the next round of announcements. My excitement is somewhat tempered with the Rock Band: Beatles game coming out, but I'm still hopeful that Harmonix won't completely forget about their flagship game. This is a sample of albums I'd like to see come to Rock Band in the near future:

• "Dirt" - Alice in Chains
• "Pet Sounds" - Beach Boys
• "Perfect From Now On" - Built to Spill
• "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" - The Flaming Lips
• "Flight of the Conchords" - Flight of the Conchords
• "You'd Prefer an Astronaut" - Hum
• "Grace" - Jeff Buckley
• "Are You Experienced" - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
• "Greatest Hits" - Journey
• "Hot Fuss" - The Killers
• "Above" - Mad Season
• "It Still Moves" - My Morning Jacket
• "Twin Cinema" - The New Pornographers
• "In Utero" - Nirvana
• "Satellite Rides" - Old 97's
• "Vs." - Pearl Jam
• "Mer de Noms" - A Perfect Circle
• "Animals" - Pink Floyd
• "Rated R" - Queens of the Stone Age
• "Murmur" - R.E.M.
• "The Bends" - Radiohead
• "Sweet Oblivion" - Screaming Trees
• "Chutes Too Narrow" - The Shins
• "( )" - Sigur Ros
• "Greatest Hits" - Simon & Garfunkel
• "Siamese Dream" - Smashing Pumpkins
• "Badmotorfinger" - Soundgarden
• "This is Spinal Tap" - Spinal Tap
• "Temple of the Dog" - Temple of the Dog
• "Tenacious D" - Tenacious D (minus the talky skits)
• "Greatest Hits" - Tom Petty
• "AEnima" - Tool
• "Joshua Tree" - U2

I don't expect any of these to happen. They'd either be too expensive (U2, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix), unattainable because of Warner Bros. vs. Music Games (Built to Spill), or just plain unpopular, but dammit I'd love to see some of these.

Any other thoughts? What would you like to see in Rock Band (if you play it)?

As usual, have at it. Oh, and, um, I can't believe that one thing happened in Lost last night. I did NOT see that coming.
