Take your pick with pretty much any title in the Guitar Hero franchise, though the original is a good place to start: each entry provides willing players with an addictive platform to imagine what it's like to be awesome at playing the coolest instrument of all, with each title in the series offering up a new, eclectic selection of songs. So Guitar Hero became a sort of global phenomena back in 2005; even if you hate the series and everything that it stands for on a musical level, it's still a game that you should have played - even if it's just to find out how bad you are. Given that Guitar Hero reached such pop cultural heights, though, it just seems wrong that somebody could reach age 25 without having at least attempted to strum their way through a single song. Boston's "More Than A Feeling," perhaps?
