Rock Band 4: 10 Awesome Songs That Must Be Included

The best multiplayer game of all time needs a suitably epic soundtrack.

Yes, it's finally coming - and about time too! Long rumoured to be the game that original Guitar Hero-developer Harmonix would return to after the disasterpiece that was the Kinect-powered Fantasia, at GDC 2015 they confirmed not only were the rumours true, but that (as of time of writing) the release date is later this year. As if 2015 couldn't get any better with the final Metal Gear Solid, The Witcher 3 and Batman: Arkham Knight all waiting in the wings, now you've got hands-down the greatest multiplayer experience any game has ever provided getting the next-gen coat of polish. When you think back on how the whole 'movement' of plastic instrument games went, it was damn-near a cultural revolution. Despite plastic guitars being a regular staple on Eastern shores (Konami must be kicking themselves for not pushing Guitar Freaks more) and in arcades Westwards, it felt like Guitar Hero just took off overnight. Even if you hated the idea of 'playing with a Fisher Price guitar', when it was in your hands and some gorgeously anthemic high-bending solo was coursing through your veins, man... there was nothing better. So with RB4 on the way and plenty more phenomenal tracks to choose from for either on-disc or DLC down the line, here's 10 candidates for what would kick the whole thing off to a flying start. Leave your suggestions in the comments below, as obviously everyone has their own personal favourites.
