So, a friend of mine recently bought Rock Band 2, for the Wii. The reason being that Beatles Rock Band is coming out in September and his best friend as already pre-ordered it. In an attempt to make sure that we don't all suck, when the Beatles edition comes out, Rock Band 2 was purchased to ensure that we have time to practice, before September. (Yes, I am apparently, that much of a geek.) As we have gotten together recently, (at present time, it's usually two men and two women) it has occured to me that the vast majority of the songs that are available, are performed by men. There are only a handful, of the vast and varied songs on Rock Band 2, that are performed (at least, vocally) by women. Now, certainly, I appreciate that there are a greater number of male rockers than there are women and probably a larger number of men who play Rock Band, or even just have Wii's in general. (I, apparently, buck that stereotype.) But, wouldn't it stand to reason that if the ladies were given their due, then it might cause an increased interest among us estrogen-producing members of society, in playing such games as Rock Band??
So, let's consider this my grassroots campaign to develop an additional Rock Band game, or at the very least an additional song pack, that gives credit to the women who rock. Let us all bow down and pay homage to Melissa Etheridge, Sheryl Crow, Meredith Brooks, Chrissie Hynde, The Bangles, KD Lang, Alanis Morrisette, Saving Jane, Pat Benatar, Stevie Nicks, Heart, Tina Turner, Janis Joplin, Gwen Stefani, Lauryn Hill, The Indigo Girls, Christina Aguilara, Pink, Carole King, Carly Simon, Madonna, and all of the other women of rock!
