Those around me know I've got a bit of an obsession with Kelly Clarkson. Her tracks top my most played tracks in my iTunes library, alongside of seemingly congruent artists such as Van Halen, Metallica, Foo Fighters and a bunch of others. I didn't even watch "American Idol" till I heard some clips of her singing in the first season. As it were, I don't watch "AI" anymore.
Anyway, I've absolutely loved Kelly Clarkson's first three studio albums, – especially the second and third albums – "Breakaway" and "My December," respectively. I like the rock stuff more than the ballads, though I don't mind listening to either album all the way through.

I haven't made a post about Rock Band in awhile… haven't really played Rock Band or the 360 in general in awhile. Life has been getting in the way.
Anyway, I have been watching my game-related RSS feeds, watching the weekly downloadable content for Rock Band (and the less frequent downloads for Guitar Hero III). Kudos to Rock Band developer, Harmonix for keeping their promise of new content pretty much weekly. Everyone's going to have opinions on the quality of the tracks, etc. I for one, think they've pretty much sucked for weeks – maybe months.
Obviously it takes more than Harmonix picking a song and putting into the game. There's negotiations with the artists, labels, etc. Assuming that's getting easier and easier as the rhythm rock gaming genre makes more and more for the gaming and music industries, it should be easier to get new tracks from artists big and small.
With that being said, here's a few suggestions of songs I would love to have in Rock Band:

So we're sitting here watching last night's American Idol and for the second show in a row, I'm bored to tears. I'm just not engaged this year one iota. None of the contestants are standing out to me. There's not a single contestant I'd waste my time and effort to call in and vote for! The [...]

Happy Halloween everyone! So a couple of us dressed up here at work. Bret, Jeff and I were all over the hill super heroes – Spider-Man, Batman and Superman respectively. Everyone had a good laugh and we rocked it. Two others dressed up at work as well.
We also had our chip collection luncheon, which was [...]
Amanda and I were just talking about what Kelly's second single was going to be off the "My December" album. We both love the cut, "Sober," and thought that was a given to be the next single. It's a damn great song that probably should have been the first single off the album. We thought we [...]
In case anyone missed them or even noticed they were gone, I've posted all of the reviews I've written over the years. I haven't written anything recently since the Kelly Clarkson concert review I did a few years back. The hope is that I'll start posting new reviews on occasion, most likely Xbox 360 reviews, TV [...]

I honestly don't think the pics are as good as the article's lead paragraph makes them out to be, but she does look good. They actually referenced her quotes in this article this morning on Bob and the Showgram, but they didn't believe she's only kissed 5 guys. I can actually see it.

I need a few more listens of My December before I do my review and maybe I shouldn't be reading others' reviews. Regardless this article refers to whom Entertainment Weekly says was the target of Kelly's "Never Again."
I figured it was about the former dude from Evanescence. He fired back at her recently:
