Guitar Hero World Tour: The Best, The Worst, and Everything in Between

The Songs

The songs are a really big part of any music game. The cool thing is that there is a decent amount of overlap with Rock Band 2, so you don't need to feel left out of some of the more solid songs no matter which game you pick up. Guitar Hero World Tour has a decidedly more classic influence than RB and RB2, featuring Hendrix, Steely Dan, the Allman Brothers, CCR, Willie Nelson, and other staples. But we also see some completely rockin modern hits from bands like Tool. Especially Tool. Did we mention Tool? There's also some 30 Seconds to Mars, Paramore, and plenty of other modern bands. There's less 90's stuff here, but they've got the important stuff like Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Dinosaur Jr., and Blink 182.

I would have a really hard time choosing, and I'm glad I've got access to both games. Honestly I wish I could merge all the songs onto one platform though. But the music is really important to consider when deciding what game to pick up. So here's the list.
