I bought Band Hero a few weeks ago, so I could get the drum set to work with the other Guitar Hero games. The setlist mostly sucks, but I stumbled on "You Had Me" by Joss Stone. I normally avoid popular artists, but I decided to play it because of the sample it played. I play everything on Expert, and the guitar for the song nearly had my hand cramping by the end, but it was really fun. And very tasteful. Joss has a great voice, and that song implied good taste in music. So I check out the video, the background audio is barely distinguishable, and most of the comments are about how hot Joss is or isn't.
It really makes me sick. Band Hero is full of terrible artists, and the few good artists they have are reduced to only their popular singles, which are further reduced by the popular demand, which usually has no real taste for music. It just feels like another sad, inevitable decline in society.
