Ok. So they've done Aerosmith and they've done Metallica. Why haven't they signed any really popular bands to the franchise? Am I the only one who would love to see:

You know you people joke about certain businesses making more money than a small country? Revenue from the Guitar Hero franchise, at over US$1.6 billion, has exceeded the GDP of Bhutan.
Bob Kotick, CEO of Activision, had this to say on the subject of "Guitar Hero: Aerosmith" and what it has brought in for the band: “[Their] version of ‘Guitar Hero’ generated far more in revenues than any [single] album ever has. Merchandising, concert sales, their ability to sign a new contract [have] all been unbelievably influenced by their participation in ‘Guitar Hero.’”
Money my ***. Somebody's not trying hard enough.

The Beatles (whoever owns the rights) don't even have their songs available for download from Amazon or Itunes. Or maybe they're waiting for them to be remastered:

Not that I don't like the way this thread is going(the chick not the dude), but there actually is a Beatles Rock Band game in the works!

I didn't think this was that great of an idea when Joe first posted, but after seeing a pretty damn decent Beatles cover band at The Continental Club over the weekend with my father and law, I remembered how great their music really is, and how friggin addictive the game would be. You really can't see it played by a group live without singing nearly every song outloud and grabbin' some random chick to dance with for half of 'em (my father-in-law is cool).
