Your fantasy Guitar Hero set list

[NintendoDieScreaming]

Okay, so all us music nerds are pretty sure we want the job of making the Guitar Hero games. There are some songs I just can't help but imagine green, red, yellow, blue, and orange buttons scrolling downward when I hear them. I don't have a PS2, so I can't play the games whenever I feel like it, rather I get my playing in at friends' houses (Nearly all of them own both games. I don't plan on buying a 360, PS3, or Wii anytime soon either).

 

So, what is your fantasy Guitar Hero set list? These aren't necessarily my favorite songs, but rather ones that I think would be fun as hell to play on Guitar Hero.
