For those of you who are complete Guitar Hero freaks...and there are lots of em, Red Octane is releasing Guitar Hero Encore, which will feature songs from the 80's. I don't know how "final" this list is, but I have the song list:

• "Metal Health (Bang Your Head)" - Quiet Riot
• "We Got the Beat" - The Go-Go's
• "I Ran (So Far Away)" - A Flock of Seagulls
• "Balls to the Wall" - Accept
• "18 and Life" - Skid Row
• "No One Like You" - Scorpions
• "Shakin'" - Eddie Money
• "Heat of the Moment" - Asia
• "Radar Love" - White Lion
• "Because, It's Midnite" - Limozeen
• "Holy Diver" - Dio
• "Turning Japanese" - The Vapors
• "Hold on Loosely" - .38 Special
• "The Warrior" - Scandal
• "I Wanna Rock" - Twisted Sister
• "What I Like About You" - The Romantics
• "Synchronicity II" - The Police
• "Ballroom Blitz" - Krokus
• "Only a Lad" - Oingo Boingo
• "Round and Round" - Ratt
• "Nothin' But a Good Time" - Poison
• "Lonely is the Night" - Billy Squier
• "Bathroom Wall" - Faster Pussycat
• "Los Angeles" - X
• "Wrathchild" - Iron Maiden
• "Electric Eye" - Judas Priest
• "Police Truck" - Dead Kennedys
• "Seventeen" - Winger
• "Caught in a Mosh" - Anthrax
• "Play With Me" - Extreme

To me, this list is very dissapointing. I will have a series of posts explaining why later. But in a nutshel, way too many posers. The 80's had so much great punk and metal, I feel like the genre is poorly represented here.

"Who's the marketing genius behind that one?"
