Elite Beat Agents - The Tracklisting!
Of course, this is way too BREAKING not to post - Wired.com's Game|Life has got the complete Elite Beat Agents DS tracklisting up, and it's pretty darn interesting!
Keiichi Yano told Game|Life of the announcement: "The concept for song selection was this - the roaring songs you would want to hear if you went to a college frat party... I used to play in bands like that, and when the whole crowd is jumping up and down to your tunes...this is the essence of our selections."
I'm not sure I was expecting them to go that way, and there are certainly some cheesy tracks on here - but I like it! Here's the full skinny:
1. Walkie Talkie Man - Steriogram
2. ABC - Jackson Five
3. Sk8er Boi - Avril Lavigne
4. I Was Born to Love You - Queen
5. Rock This Town - Stray Cats
6. Highway Star - Deep Purple
7. Y.M.C.A. - Village People
8. September - Earth, Wind and Fire
9. Canned Heat - Jamiroquai
10. Material Girl - Madonna
11. La La - Ashlee Simpson
12. You're the Inspiration - Chicago
13. Survivor - Destiny's Child
14. Without a Fight - Hoobastank
15. Believe - Cher
16. Let's Dance - David Bowie
17. Jumpin Jack Flash - Rolling Stones
18. Makes No Difference - Sum 41
19. The Anthem - Good Charlotte
Also noted: "Where the hell is "Livin' La Vida Loca"? A fair question. Near as I can figure, the song was dropped from the game." When I spoke to Yano at TGS, he confirmed that the track wasn't in the game any more - maybe Ricky Martin got greedy? We shall never know!

I was kind o hoping, as they'd mentioned over at DSBlog, that they'd wrap things up with "ready Steady Go" and have a cameo by Ouendan. Well, 19 is an odd number, one can hope for an easter egg.

Oh wow. There is so much suck in that list I can't believe it. I mean... holy shit. There are no words for how badly that list fails it.
I'll still buy the game though.

Looks like a generic song list that a DJ would play at a wedding reception.
The idea of three guys dancing, with black suits and weird hairstyles, is truly a gut-buster.
