Black Sabbath as long as they go full satan, pre-1980, and zero band member likenesses.
Ghost. If you know, you know. Only current hard rock/metal band with strong visuals, a compelling character/mythology, large (and growing) fanbase, panache, melody, and hooks for days.
Quoted from o-din:Yep, I might have been more impressed if there was a little more "I am the Walrus", and a little less "I wanna hold your hand"
I had to play that game for 15 minutes just to get to Taxman.
Beatles was a dream theme of mine and was so let down when Stern choose to go with the earlier version of them on a re-themed playfield.
A late 60’s of the Beatles with a fresh new playfield designed would have sold so much better IMO. A Yellow Submarine CE would definitely be in my pin collection now.
Quoted from ronlisa:Beatles was a dream theme of mine and was so let down
I almost bought the thing because it played Help and Taxman.
OMG nobody has mentioed Led Zeppelin! It could include qualty cuts from Celebration Day and the Plant Page tours from the ninetys. I can just see and hear Kashmir multiball now.
Quoted from Mk1Mod0:I'm always going to vote for Rush. They were into industrial steam punk before it was cool. I picture an R40 pin where you start with minimal features, chimes, mechanical scoring and dead bumpers. As you progress through the game, bumpers come to life, more of the play field lights up, sounds become 8-bit versions of Rush songs and scoring goes to S/S electronic style. If you really wind it up, the DMD/CRT comes to life, the base drum bash toy rises out of the play field and an upper level opens up. And the stereo kicks in. Loud. Imagine that, gentlemen and ladies. A time machine based pin that gets more modern with good play. Thats my dream. "GeFilter multi-ball!!!!"

NO RUSH! I'd be forced to scrape together 8 grand!
Same here.
Funny, to me a band like Suicidal still sounds kinda fresh although they are now 40 years old. Similar genre bands like Gorillaz are in today. Alternative or whatever you want to call it. Not mainstream.
Would never get done, but I'd love to see a Parliament Funkadelic pinball machine. Get Bootsy to do the call outs.
Quoted from o-din:For the 18 that have voted Suicidal so for, you're not alone.
I have a ta ped orf cd laying around from them.
Aquabats
The Interuptors
The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo
B-52s
Another vote for Pink Floyd (The Wall pro, Dark Side of the Moon premium maybe?)
The Who
... and of course Jethro Tull (The band, not the inventor).
Here's an idea that's NEVER been floated:
A pin based on Snoopy vs the Red Baron, by the Royal Guardsmen
The 8 year old kid in me would jump on it! I was so obsessed with that song when I was a young lad.

Dude. That was my very 1st album. That and KISS's Dressed to Kill. No shit.
They should have done A Walk The Line pin how did Stern miss that!
I would love any of these in no order. Sabbath with Dio, Zepp, Slayer, Hendrix or a blues pin could put some greats on it. Megadeth, a Woodstock hippie pin fuck yeah why not! so many bands.

"Flashlight" multi-ball with all the lights goin' nuts...
Quoted from Gryszzz:Dude. That was my very 1st album.
This was mine.
il_570xN.1975698856_tthv (resized).jpgQuoted from Gryszzz:OD you left out a few hot ones on Uncle Gary's radar...
[quoted image]
"SOMEBODY JUST ORDER HER A GODDAMN PIZZA" mini wizard mode.
What's that sick joke? Oh yeah,
If Mama Cass had just shared that sandwich with Karen Carpenter, they could both still be alive today.
Quoted from Gryszzz:OD you left out a few hot ones on Uncle Gary's radar...
I know. I forgot Foreigner.
DUDE!
Foreigner 4 is also another album I owned as a youngster. Like, real young. After Snoopy/KISS, that was next.
Still dig em.
Fuck no on a pin though. Of course you knew this. Sometimes I think I'm the only one that gets your sarcastic hilarious ass. But there's atleast 5 of us.
If I went and put 5 bands I would like to see in a game, the response would be like when they first announced Rick and Morty. Huh? And then five people would say Rush and the other five would say Led Zeppelin.
And no, I don't want an AFI, but Miss Murder just made pretty good driving music during my short commute.

Did somebody say something about a Rush pin? Yes, I would buy one!
I think a Van Halen/Van Hagar would be potentially cool..Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin ..what about Springsteen?! This pin was ‘ made in the USA’ lol..
Jethro Tull
David Bowie
Mott the Hoople
ZZ Top (tres hombres. Not the new shit)
Not sure how any would work in a pin (maybe aqualung graphics with locomotive breath during multi ball. And thick as a brick when draining one?)
Quoted from mappy_mouse:Not on the list but Pink Floyd would get my vote
Floyd for me too but i just can't see it ever coming to reality
Quoted from o-din:This was mine.[quoted image]
I always thought it was "itsy bitsy spider". The more "I" know.

Trust me, it was hard to find using google and auto incorrect.
Quoted from GamerMD:None on that list, but I’d like to see a Ramones pinball
"I'm against it!"
Quoted from sturner:Def Leppard is awesome. Songs are fun and would be great in a pinball machine.
I pulled a car in the shop yesterday and Def Leppard was on the radio. First time in the eight years I've worked at the place. First two albums were pretty good.
Quoted from fisherdaman:I'd love to see a grateful dead pin!
I second that. And it must dispense joints.
