But for me, the most fun I've had in Rock Band comes from playing together with friends and family, and I can't even count up four people that are any more than idle admirers a relative few of The Beatles' songs - well, not without hitting up my extended friend network. For my close-knit group of friends, we'll probably pick up The Beatles, but I imagine we'll still spend more time in RB2 and Guitar Hero 5 and those games' downloadable content.

We all do it – well those of us of legal drinking age; invite some friends around, have a few drinks and then break out the console to get our video game on. According to Craig Bryan; here is a list of the perfect alcoholic accompaniments for a night of fun and frolics.
playing games drunk is the worst thing ever, reactions are to slow and falling asleep and leaving your console on all night! wake up with 5000 messages, take away food all around you and feeling like poop looking at your online stats wondering how bad you played :( bad times
I'd mostly only bother with music and sports games , the rest not at all , besides indeed buzz
He has "put on a few Beatles albums in the background" but never really got into them. The Beatles were most definitely a "foreground listening mode" band. Songs like a Day in the Life or Strawberry Fields Forever are practically the antithesis of background music.
