That patented Neversoft texture applied generously to a franchise approaching the apex of its powers - has there ever been a more "You just had to be there" moment in gaming? Had us 4th grade kids in 2007 eagerly talking about Slash, Living Colour, and Dead Kennedys. And on that note (haha)... I assume it's perfectly fair to say that this is one of the most iron-clad, top-to-bottom fucking elite soundtracks, ever (except for Kool Thing)? Has the true spirit of rock and roll without doing the whole "ONLY classic rock matters!!1!" bullshit that was soon to permeate this era. Huge shame that only a couple games in the future this series would be milked to absolute DEATH. I go back and forth between preferring Guitar Hero 5 over this and not - just because the latter has a more diverse soundtrack, better charts, and no crummy covers. But this one has more consistent bangers and doesn't look like hot ass? Neversoft I love you, but you guys sure knew how to spoil an already perfect formula.
