Top 50 Guitar Songs of the First 5 Years of Guitar Hero

Commendable effort. Had a feeling Jessica was gonna be up there. Sad that it didn't crack #1, but seeing it there made me remember just how much fun that chart was. For my money, it's the greatest Guitar chart ever put into one of these games. Absolutely perfect.

After I saw it, I went out to my living room, hooked up the PS2, and strapped on the first guitar controller I ever owned with the now-gimpy whammy bar, the horrendously squeaky strum bar, and the blocky sensor plugged into the controller slot. I dug out the GH2 box, now dusty with a wrinkled sleeve, and popped in the game for the first time in about two and a half years. Tapped out the old Hyperspeed code, scrolled through the setlist to revisit all of those pretty five-star scores obtained during that blissful summer of '07, and finally came to a stop on Jessica, which I proceeded to play five times in a row, grinning like a little girl at a Bieber concert the whole time. Never did conquer the trill at the very end, but that just means I'll have to go and play it again sometime soon.

DWDTG as number 1 is either so genius I don't understand it or so horrible I'm seeing something that isn't there. It's not fun. Think back to when you were trying to beat the Devil - was it fun then? No. Was it fun when your fingers broke attempting to pass the bastard? No. Was it fun when you could finally pass it, only to have it spammed endlessly in multiplayer? NO. Yes, it's hard, yes, it has replay value, but there are other songs that have both of those and are FUN as well.
Better songs for #1 which have the difficulty: Play With Me, Ties That Bind, Holy Wars, 2112, Bloodmeat, Satch Boogie, Love Spreads, Fight Fire With Fire... The list goes on.
I can see where you're coming from, but... I am dissapoint.

I'll say what I said on twitter when they were bragging about no one guessing the number one song.

If the three biggest communities around the game haven't guessed it, you probably just made the wrong choice.

The Top 50 could very well be most of GH2's setlist with some of GH3 and I wouldn't mind. Beast And The Harlot should have been on there, hell the whole final setlist of GH2 should have been
