SHAKE IT BABY!
SALT THAT LADY!

Some large artists I feel are underrepresented in RB+Customs are Prince, Arctic Monkeys, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones, Blur, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Postal Service (though uh, synth on guitars I guess?), The Shins, Neil Young, Nick Cave, Dire Straits, Arcade Fire, Scorpions, Garbage, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Kinks, ZZ Top, Van Morrison, Jeff Buckley, Iggy Pop/The Stooges, Eagles of Death Metal, Sonic Youth, and probably more I can't remember off the top of my head.

I don't even like all of em, but they're all huge artists.

Also Bowie, because I want all the Bowie.

And Screaming Females, because they'd be fun as poo poo to play.

Thanks for the reminder Kaboobi, this game called Rock Band has a criminally low song count for ZZ Top.

I'd be onboard for some Minibosses too.

Now that we are doing underrepresented lists, I agree with all of the above. Also, more Depeche Mode, The Smiths, and I forgot earlier to mention Bjork!

And never enough Bowie, so I'll mention it again.

I don't like it when you're watching me eat.
Just spitballing here (i've tried to keep up with posts and the list, sorry for any dupes)

Elvis - I know he's on the list you linked, but he's fun
Bone Thugs and Harmony - Tha Crossroads - We've got Snoop Dogg, but I don't recall seeing many other rap songs. Maybe instruments are too boring?
Billy Squire - Hear and Now - Childhood Favorite
Midnight Oil - Diesel and Dust - Another Favorite
Michael Jackson - There are a few available now and one or two on the list, but I still like his older music

While they certainly aren't as underrepresented as a lot of the artists being named, Queens of the Stone Age's Songs for the Deaf is probably my most wanted album that we haven't gotten yet. Hell, even just a few more songs than the two on-disc tracks we got would be great.

I could definitely go for some more Elton John tracks as well.

Nobody has mentioned Radiohead or Muse, either. I'd also like to see more Tool and a the complete Alchemy Live album by Dire Straits.

Though if I ever do get around to learning how to author songs, I'd probably go through and fix the Metallica stuff that's already released, a lot of it was done by GHtoRB3 before C3 was created and they have tons of audio problems that drive me nuts.

espher and I have talked about this. We'd like to do a full vocals sweep of every GHtoRB3 release, at the very least, because their phrasing/etc. was abysmal, but we just don't have the time or manpower.

My votes go to Elton John and Pink Floyd. I would really love to see more tunes by both and I think they'd be very popular. I think there's also room for a lot more of The Cure.

Albums I would love to death that I know would probably never be charted, but will make me feel better to post anyway: Florence + The Machine -- Ceremonials (lack of guitar makes this a nonstarter), Neko Case -- Middle Cyclone (having just the one song makes me realize all of what I'm missing :( ), and Death Cab For Cutie -- Plans (not as ridiculous as the first two but probably still won't happen).

Surprised nobody mentioned Elvis Presley: with Prince he is the only huge male artist I can think of that didn't make it either through DLC, RBN or C3 at all.

Well, there is one Elvis custom out there I've had for a while. It's from a C3 author, although checking the database it seems this was pre-C3 release. But definitely not the one I asked him to do when I suggested Elvis.

So if I can play this game:

Elvis
Pink Floyd
Elton John, i'm particularly interested in all the Disney hits

and I know at least one person will back me up on this:
the entire Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack. to which I can provide beautiful 7.1 master audio FLACs ripped from the special edition Blu-Ray by yours truly. Useless for a release, but very nice for charting, and also, sounds amazing.

If only I could figure out this REAPER thing... :-p

Seconding Tool and/or A Perfect Circle, even though I'd be the only one in my group who actually cares. poo poo, APC might even be easier to chart.

Also seconding Deftones, even if just for "Passenger".

They've been playing a lot of Queens of the Stone Age's "I Sat By the Ocean", and it seems like vocals would be fun on that.

I am frowning so hard at the bounty list listing "ROCK in the USA" as a Bruce Springsteen song.

Thoughts on "missing" artists in a minute, but The Replacements need way more love than just "Alex Chilton." I just did "I Will Dare" at Karaoke Underground last weekend and it slayed.

The Aquabats. 1000x The Aquabats. They were in RBN (sort of) with "This Gigantic Robot Kills", and I would pay good money for Aquabats Rock Band. I was tempted to make an Aquabats Pack for CCC, but then I lost steam on the Rock Band Authoring thing.

You have the ska-drenched early years, the new wave heavy late 90's-2000's era, Charge!!!'s punk, and the scattershot of awesome that is their current era.

Also, a lot of Suburban Legend's stuff off of Day Job would work to.

Even though I primarily play pro drums and regular keys, I definitely choose songs by the vocals. You will find me singing anything and everything, often to the embarrassment of my family members. I don't care. So Disney songs would be great in my opinion. That's why I collaborated to make Let It Go possible. Hell, I was at the Disney store today with my sister and they were playing the entire Frozen soundtrack...needless to say, my sister was embarrassed.

Some Styx stuff that isn't re-records. More Journey and Kansas (always). Another vote for more Outlaws (Hurry Sundown, Ghost Riders in the Sky).

More Muse would be fun, too, but I've played enough of that on Rocksmith that I don't feel the lack of Muse so greatly. Anything else off of Silvertide's album Show and Tell. More Seether. More Decemberists. The Shins. More Silversun Pickups (The Royal We). More 3 Doors Down.

I'm a big Phil Collins fan but once you listen to his live stuff, the studio stuff doesn't cut it. And MIDIs for the live stuff are very hard to come. So, that's why I personally haven't worked on it.
