Are YOU destined for Rock Band Greatness?

Ever the latecomer to the party, I just played “Rock Band” for the first time this month. I have never tried Guitar Hero and didn’t even use the guitar in this game, but damn! this game kicks ass.
Now, to my knowledge, it ships with a few dozen songs and 3 new songs are released a week that are available for purchase/download. And erstwhile internet-party-poopers Metallica are to release an album exclusively/initially available for this game. (Didn’t Suzanne Vega do this with Second Life?) How cool is this?
So I sang (I am tone-deaf and my sense of timing is pretty bad – just as Kevin… or my ex-girlfriend) and played drums. Though grateful that I don’t have this time toilet in my house, I am eager to get another fix. The game creators must be getting scores of requests for songs – I mean, who DOESN’T want to try to sing like Robert Plant?
