So I've had this thing where I play a song on Rock Band and if it is good, it will work its way into my rotation of songs that I listen to on my ipod or computer. One example is "Maps" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Not really for any particular reason other than I just happen to remember it. I don't know how many others there are, but the list numbers is likely over fifty songs (which is a lot considering I know most songs that are in the game).
Last night, I was driving my friend home and she asked, "do you have the Beatles' songs on your computer?" Of course, I answered yes... but it was obvious to me that her interest was born out of Beatles: Rock Band. She even admitted that her parents had never really listened to the Beatles, but she has started liking some of their music after playing it in the game.
I don't have much else to say about this other than if a majority of people end up experiencing what I've described in this post, I would be interested in seeing bands use Rock Band as a promotional tool. Post a few songs for free on Rock Band from a new album, get people hooked, maybe they will buy the real thing off of itunes.
PS.. I don't proofread these posts... and I likely never will
