The Beatles Rock Band is finally coming. The quintessential rock 'n' roll band finally gets their due and we're all excited to see exactly how Harmonix honors the rock legends. Now there have been a number of lists cruising around the internet with writers giving their own takes on what the best track list for the game would be. Some people are fans of the early years, while others long for the drug-induced later years of the Beatles' portfolio. But this isn't one of those lists. Instead, we are focusing on the music that will accompany all the great Beatles tracks. If the Beatles Rock Band gets anything like what we saw in Metallica's treatment, then we should expect a wide range of artists pitching in a track or two to supplement, and round out the playlist. So us here at Crave have compiled a list of some of the complimentary songs we would love to see in Beatles Rock Band.

The Monkees
"I'm a Believer"
Album: More of the Monkees
What better way to pay tribute to the Beatles than include a track by the band assembled to mirror them. Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider, two aspiring filmmakers influenced by The Beatles' "Hard Day's Night" film assembled this quartet as the foundation to a television show about a fictional rock 'n' roll group. However, The Monkees eventually earned themselves more rights in the production of their music and enjoyed a stint of rockin' outside the confines of a television set. And while they have a number of radio hits, "I'm a Believer" could make great use of the vocal harmonizing in Beatles Rock Band as well as being something fun to pick up and play.
