No other song from the decade has the same perfect mix of rockin' guitar riffs, mind-blowing lyrics and cheese necessary to represent a whole generation - music or otherwise. "Livin' on a Prayer" Bon Jovi Game: Guitar Hero: World TourĪlright, no beating around the bush, we're just going to say it: "Livin' on a Prayer" is the best song of the '80s. Although not at the upper range of difficulty, "Godzilla" feels as good as it sounds. It's one of the tracks that helped define the diversity and solid music selection of the original Guitar Hero, and the bottom line is that it's a joy to play. Although one might chuckle at the "Oh no, there goes Tokyo!" lyrics, the song keeps fingers dancing up and down the neck of the guitar. "Godzilla" Blue Oyster Cult Game: Guitar HeroĮven more guitar-friendly than the band's most famous tune, "Don't Fear the Reaper," Blue Oyster Cult's "Godzilla" is a hard-rocking albeit sometimes goofy anthem to Japan's most adorable natural disaster. It serves up a buffet of awesome playability, from the pensive opening dirge, to the chunky, thrashy bits, to a blistering solo… there's even a key change! "Beast" is a fret-melter of the highest order, and the Huntington Beach quintet served notice to newcomers: this is a band worthy of worship. The track is a solid piece of rock, made of devilish licks and tasty lyrics. "The Beast and the Harlot" Avenged Sevenfold Game: Guitar Hero IIįor people who don't know what A7X means, and hadn't heard the band prior to their appearance in Guitar Hero II, "The Beast and the Harlot" was a war cry-a scream across the plain of rock. All kidding aside, this song is a seven minute guitar solo which isn't the hardest track in the game, but it sure is hell is one of the most fun. In the case of the rock instrumental "Jessica" it was The Allman Brothers Band which got a chance to show videogamers that lyric-less southern rock from the early '70s is just as fun as any of the new-fangled rock and roll music. One of the things that we appreciated most about the second Guitar Hero game was the fact that they branched out a little bit and brought some classic rock music into the fold. "Jessica" The Allman Brothers Band Game: Guitar Hero II Extra points if you can rap while playing guitar. Unlace your kicks, wring the neck of that plastic axe, and surrender to the fulfilling riff and awesome solo. The whole thing ends onstage, undone sneakers and all, and that's the way to enjoy this track. Children of the Seventies and Eighties will no doubt remember their introduction to the song: the genre-bending track got an epic video treatment on MTV, where Steven Tyler bursts through the wall to sing the chorus. Run DMC Game: Guitar Hero: AerosmithĪerosmith's "Walk This Way" is an amazing toe-tapping rock masterpiece in its own right, but when you add the talents of rap juggernauts Run DMC to the mix, the song goes straight to stellar.
