Better Music? Rock Band or Guitar Hero III?

This holiday season is shaping up to be quite the battle between two video game heavyweights, Rock Band and Guitar Hero III. Most people planning on picking one of these bad boy's up will probably only be able to afford one of the two. Which one? What to buy….They're basically the same game, right?

This is easy it's Guitar Hero because Bloc Party is on there... haha.

As the above said, Bloc Party.
I also love Raining Blood (Slayer) The Seeker (The Who) Number of the Beast (Iron Maiden) She Bangs The Drums (Stone Roses) My Name Is Jonas (Weezer)
Good times.

When I first played GH, I said this game needs One and Paint it Black. Its like they heard me. Add Welcome to the Jungle and a Slash Battle from my favourite band of all time who I saw in what was the biggest concert in the southern hemishpere (yes I'm from the bottom half of the world (in geography only, its the top country ;) )).

Rock Band does look hella sweet but I dont know if I can go past GHIII.

Might do what I always do and get them both.

[Seriously]

They both have some good tracks but I think overall, straight out of the box GH III has the better track list. I think Rockband has potential though in the future with downloads and MTV being tied in.

I hear they are fun, but I think the music on both games, along with the previous guitar heroes is terrible. More of the same crap on the radio and Mtv with some older stuff thrown in. Maybe when they make a Guitar Hero 1980's Punk Edition with Minor Threat, Zero Boys, Youth Brigade, etc Ill get on the a. If I have to hear something like that whiny bastard from Coheed and Cambria just to play a game I would rather not play it at all. The video game community could be such a great friend to the independent music industry and yet they choose more over played commercialized major label garbage. I leave this game for the kids who buy their punk at Hot Topic and their gnarly surf close at Hollister.
