If you're familiar with other music video games, you know that Van Halen was featured in Guitar Hero. The band's addition to the Rock Band series, though, allows gamers to play more than just guitar. You can sing along, play bass and/or drums with the songs now!

"For years we've wanted to bring Van Halen's music to Rock Band," Harmonix CEO Steve Janiak said this week, according to IGN. "Not only are the songs incredible in their own right, but they're amazingly fun to play and perform, whether you're on guitar, bass, drums, or vocals."

What other titles are you hoping get added to the song list? Is "Panama" enough for you?
