Miami, FL
Quoted from Captain_Kirk:Best prank ever.....use Pinball Borswer and replace your buddy's AC/DC or Metallica songs with Bolton.
Drop in an alternative translate of Bolton to seal the deal.
To top it off, program this clip into main game play. 
How about James Brown?
Call me crazy, but I can see the Godfather of Soul translate nicely into a pin. He has influenced tons of hip hop artists and other groups. Maybe somebody could re-theme an Elvis, but use a JB dancing figure!
I'd love to see these animations to use when you score jackpots

A few of you mentioned Kraftwerk. I agree 1000%!
Lots of toys, colors and props could be utilized in the game. Use the computer, calculator, ten-speed bike and radioactive logo for different shots. I just saw a recent 3D show of them and it was awesome. There should be four side drop targets, using these classic logos, of course.
Quoted from ZippyThePinhead:I used to be a GnR fan and would be open to the idea of making a new GnR pin, but don't think any current pics of Axl should be used for the BG or any of the artwork!

Looks like Axl has had an appetite for more than just destruction!

I like Aerosmith, and there are some great songs that could be used as modes, but I'm in agreement that there are better music choices for a pin. Hope I'm wrong, though.....
As for Beatles, John Trudeau said on an old TOPcast interview that he wanted to do a Beatles pin when he was at WMS. He wanted to base it off the Hard Day's Night album. He was going to use black and white artwork, and use some kind of reversed mirror under the playfield. Just imagine....Hopefully he can use it again in the future!
I apologize for mentioning James Brown again, but I feel it has good potential. They made an Elvis pin long after he passed, so why not James Brown? His music is soulful, funky and fast-paced. It's still played frequently.
You can have several toys/shots referencing his songs:
-Sex Machine shaker motor
-Brand New B-A-G motorized drop target
-Say It Loud add-a-ball
-Big Payback ball save time extender
-I Got The Feelin' playfield multiplier
-Super Bad magnetic accelerator/spinning disc
-Night Train ramp lock (ala Police Force car lock)
-I Feel G-O-O-D inline drop targets
-Get Up Offa That Thang slam ramp (ala NGG) sends ball airborne
-Dancing JB figure a la Elvis, but much more mobile (if mechanics allow it)
-Top S-O-U-L over lanes light bonus x
-Godfather wizard mode
And just check out these dance moves. Would look awesome when you score super jackpots or repeated combos. Add his signature HEEEAAAAY!! for effect
