I was 12 when the 80’s began and 22 when they ended, so the music of that decade is pretty much seared into my consciousness. Hence my jumping for joy when I found out that a new Guitar Hero game featuring 80s rock is due on July 17th. Here are the tracks known to be included with the game:
- Asia – Heat of the Moment
- Billy Squier – Lonely Is the Night
- Bow Wow Wow – I Want Candy
- Dio – Holy Diver
- Eddie Money – Shakin’
- Extreme – Play With Me
- Faster Pussycat – Bathroom Wall
- Flock of Seagulls – I Ran (So Far Away)
- Poison – Nothin’ But A Good Time
- Police – Synchronicity II
- Quiet Riot – Bang Your Head (Metal Health)
- Ratt – Round & Round
- Skid Row – 18 And Life
- Twisted Sister – I Wanna Rock
As far as I can tell, it’s a PlayStation 2 exclusive. Since I am the owner of a PS2 (a Christmas present from my lovely and very understanding wife), I am left with one complaint: Where the Hell is the AC/DC?!
Party at my house on July 17th!
