No john mayer songs on band hero. You guys are haters! How can this be? A game without mayer singing.
Most of these songs suck and since there's no mayer songs....I am broken hear-ted.

THe thing about this that sucks (other than Taylor Swift) is that only DS users will get Ugly Kid Joe's "Everything About You" and the other formats won't.

Total bummer and letdown. >_

No surprise that the reaction on this site is less than lackluster...considering you all are music elitists and consider anything that makes it to Top 40 to be the plague.

All of those songs suck except for Devo - Whip It (which by the way is not even close to being their best song), and The Go-Go's - Our Lips Are Sealed.
