List of songs in Guitar Hero
Self-nomination - Looking at the standards and criteria for FLs, I feel this list is appropriate for one; I've had a peer review done that suggests that this is also the case, implementing the changes suggested from that. --M ASEM 02:39, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Comments
 * A reference is needed for the sentence "Guitar Hero's gameplay features...."
 * References are needed for the sentences in the prose of "Main setlist" and "Bonus songs" section
 * Is there any information anywhere on the number of key presses each song has on the various levels?
 * While the page itself is good, I can't help but feel it needs some "va-va-voom", though I can't think of anything specific. ṃ• α• Ł• ṭ• ʰ• Ə• Щ•  @ 02:18, 25 March, 2008
 * First two I can get. When you say "number of key presses each song has" are you talking the total number of notes within each song?  This is not standard information, and even Gamefaqs lacks it; also, this points to Drewcifer's comment below that there's a certain "fan" approach that this would add.  As for the fourth point, the only thing I was trying to add was a screenshot of the song select list to give an idea of how it's presented, but I can't find one for that. --M ASEM  04:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Outside of points 3 and 4, the references have been addressed. --M ASEM 14:13, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * On a side note, I realized at least some "voom" that can be added, by including Commons pics for some artists (as long as there's a relevant factoid that connects them more than just being in the game). Here, for example, one can comment that Zack Wylde of Black Label Society requested they have a song in the game (& documented), alongside a commons picture of Zack; in anticipation for GH2's list, I can similarly state that Buckethead wrote Jordan for the game, alongside a commons picture of the player.  As long as I'm pulling from Commons, a few pictures of this type does help to break the page a bit. --M ASEM  23:05, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Support Looks good. Hope to see more GH lists here soon. Great work! Drewcifer (talk) 09:27, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Almost forgot! I have one more suggestion. I mentioned this earlier, but the more I think about it the more I think it's a good idea: I think a year column should be included.  It's not OR, it's an undeniable fact what year a song came out, and it would be pretty easy to find out (just go to the songs article).  I think that would be good because you could sort by year, and therefore see what songs are used from what era.  Make sense?  Also, the widths of similar columns in various tables should ideally be kept consistent. Drewcifer (talk) 03:27, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Column widths have been set, and I found that all but 3 songs had year credits in the manual, so yea, I don't feel its that much OR (only one song I had to search outside of WP for the year info). --M ASEM 13:58, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Cool. Lastly, I'd recommended moving the year column to the far left, to echo just about every other music-list (namely discographies). Drewcifer (talk) 19:55, 5 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment, do you think some rowspan would look good on the table? Also, how will that affect sorting? gren グレン 14:36, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Messes it up badly. User:Masem/ghrowspan for an example. I think the advise of focusing less on the order and more on just what songs are there is better. --M ASEM 15:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Support List looks good to me. Gary King (talk) 04:20, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Although I have some concerns about the notability of the topic, the page is very well formatted. -- Scorpion0422 00:23, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
