Quoted from StevenP:It wouldn't fly. A flavor-of-the-month band that is largely unknown to the general public would not sell a lot of games. (Yes, YOU may be a fan, but most people haven't heard of them at all, and there's little legacy associated with them.) For example: Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Metallica, Daft Punk. The majority of people will have heard of 3 of them.
Oh I don't know. While not at the album sales of those other 3 bands, I bet you most people under 30 will have more Daft Punk songs on their iPods than ACDC. But thats also not the pinball market.
