Unoriginal Soundtracks Podcast: Rock Band Edition

Every other Wednesday I share a playlist of songs tangentially related to a single game or series. Songs about alien sex for Mass Effect, songs about world leaders for Civilization, and so on. Searching for random terms on Spotify is a great way to discover new music and rediscover old classics.
Rock Band is a celebration of music. It lets players explore the bass, drums, guitars, keyboards, and/or vocals in detail they could only otherwise get by examinging the master recordings. At parties, it mixes game night with record-listening night. It's not musical performance, but it brings friends and music together to have fun. Isn't that what a band is about?
