As part of the process of becoming addicted to a game I can’t even play I came across this site yesterday. They’re accepting submissions for songs to be included on the way-forthcoming ‘Guitar Hero III’, not expected until the fourth quarter of 2007 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Beyond that it was a good time to compile a list of excellent guitar songs that hadn’t been used on the first or soon-to-arrive second edition. Without further ado, my list:
Alive – Pearl Jam
All Along The Watchtower – The Jimi Hendrix Experience
American Woman – The Guess Who
Andy Warhol – David Bowie
Angels of the Silences – Counting Crows
Another Brick in the Wall – Pink Floyd
Baba O’Riley – The Who
Band on the Run – Paul McCartney & Wings
Banditos – The Refreshments
Break On Through (To The Other Side) – The Doors
Bron-Y-Aur Stomp – Led Zeppelin
Come As You Are – Nirvana
Dream On – Aerosmith
Dreams – Fleetwood Mac
Dust In The Wind – Kansas
Everybody’s Talkin’ At Me – Harry Nilsson
Get the Funk Out – Extreme
Helter Skelter – The Beatles
Interstate Love Song – Stone Temple Pilots
Maggie May – Rod Stewart
Magic Carpet Ride – Steppenwolf
No Rain – Blind Melon
Paint It Black – The Rolling Stones

Somebody To Shove – Soul Asylum
Something In The Air – Thunderclap Newman
Sting Me – The Black Crowes
Sultans of Swing – Dire Straits

Any takers on their own “guitar god” lists?
