Top 10 Songs That Should Have Been In “Guitar Hero Rocks the 80s”

10. Twisted Sister - "We're Not Gonna Take It" Possessing the greatest guitar solo in the history of recorded music (which is literally just the melody again with two bent notes), setting this vicious anti-establishment anthem on "Easy" would finally allow infants and animals to play the game. 9. LL Cool J - "Going Back to Cali" Because hip-hop is a relatively new phenomenon, you're going to have to sort of explain it to people; the green button plays the word "fly," red is "fresh," blue is "Cali," yellow is "romancin'," orange is "I'm rappin'," and the whammy bar increases the size of your Adidas sweatsuit. 8.

The Replacements - "I Will Dare" As you're playing this jangly, upbeat alternative rocker, an actual 80s college begins to form around you; if you manage to five-star it on Expert, your character then literally attends the University of Minnesota for four years, which occurs in the game in real time, though if you're connected online, you can swap R.E.M. and Hüsker Dü LPs with other students. 4.
