Don't Let Me Down one of The Beatles "weakest" singles? Or, alternatively, a Billy Preston-driven work of God-like genius... and one of The Beatles' few real demonstrations of soul.

Judging from the "turn the sequencer on and we'll go down the pub" technotwonk recently thundering out from the lovable gadget scamps' playground, I'd take those ratings with an industrial bucket-loader bucket of NaCl.

Don't apologise - I am rather indifferent about the whole thing. Just thought some people would a) be interested in the line-up and b) Stuff's comments. Which is seems they are!

I watched my nephew playing guitar on Rock Band with awe - but couldn't help thinking that spending the time learning to play a real guitar might be more worthwhile (call me old-fashioned...........)

SImilar sentiments voiced by Randy Marsh in a recent South Park episode on the Guitar Hero/Rock Band phenomenon - well worth a view (humourlessly dry description here on Wikipedia).

Re: The Beatles 'Rock Band' tracklist revealed

Looks like a decent line up to me. Wouldn`t be surprised if people find that playing these Beatles songs turns out to be a lot more satisfying than they think. The heavy stuff`s great but this could make a nice change (of pace).
