LEGO Rock Band Announced, and 10 Lego Music Videos

LEGO ROCK BAND has been announced for Christmas 2009 release.

The announced songs include:

• Blur: “Song 2″
• Carl Douglas: “Kung Fu Fighting”
• Europe: “The Final Countdown”
• Good Charlotte: “Boys and Girls”
• Pink: “So What”

If you were wondering what a LEGO ROCK BAND video game would look like, it could look something like this:

Reading the comments of “songs that should have been included” over at Entertainment Weekly, they list the following:

• Pink Floyd: “Another Brick in the Wall”
• White Stripes: “Fell in Love With a Girl”
• Commodores: “Brick House”

Those are obvious suggestions.   Here are 10 of mine, slightly less so:

• The Foundations: “Build Me Up Buttercup”
• Anything by SNAP, such as “The Power”
• Joe Jackson -- “Breaking Us In Two”
• Lynn Anderson: “Rocky Top”
• Velvet Revolver: “Fall To Pieces”
• Love Always: “The Walls (Came Tumbling Down)”
• Extreme: “Play with Me”
• Either Kelly Clarkson: “Breakaway” or Big Pig: “Breakaway” (if you are a Bill & Ted fan, you know this song)
• The Cars: “Let’s Go” 

All that said, Lego builders are some very creative people.   Here are some other Lego-inspired music videos that you might enjoy:
