The Beatles Rock Band

I agree with Daniel Radosh, the writer of the article "While My Guitar Gently Beeps," that Rock Band the Beatles edition has definitely put them back in the forefront of the evolution of music. The Beatles have been a huge success since their first hit, and are still well loved today by many people. They changed the way the world looked at rock, and now they are changing/influencing video games as well. Each new generation, with all its crazy new music, still knows at least one Beatles song. Rock Band is a huge success right now, millions of people have drummed till their legs went numb, and sung til they were red in the face. It is a great game, it is interactive because you can play by yourself, or with up to 3 friends. To release the Beatles edition of Rock Band was a great idea because it reminded everyone of how good they really were. It also reminded people of why we grew to love the Beatles in the first place. Another reason that Rock band is influencing popular music is because it plays a lot of rock. It is nice to see rock coming back into mainstream instead of all the pop, hip-hop, garbage that consumes the air waves. Now that games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero have been released more and more people have been listening to rock. The game itself is selling the artists to the public, not literally, but if you play Rock Band on xbox live you can buy songs by other bands. Bands that only people who like rock have heard of such as one of my favorite Rock Band songs, and favorite bands, "This is Exile" by Whitechapel. Seeing a band like Whitechapel on rock band makes me happy to know that that pop, hip-hop garbage hasnt gained all control of the music world. I hope rock takes back its title and becomes whats popular again, and I think that games such as the Beatles Rock Band and other games have influenced the music world. I also think that slowly, but surely rock will be on the rise once more.
