''If you're old enough to remember the original Napster, you're probably also old enough to remember The Gourds' bluegrass remix of Snoop Dog's "Gin and Juice," which took a popular song and completely changed the genre while still creating an enjoyable song. This concept forms the core of Battle of the Band's gameplay, and while it makes for a solid base, the execution is sloppy.
The absolute best part of Battle of the Bands is the music. The game's 30 song track list features a fairly impressive line-up of songs, including "Feel Good Inc." (The Gorillaz), "Master Exploder" (Tenacious D) and "Spoonman" (Soundgarden); even more impressive is that there are five versions of each song covering the various music styles featured in the game. Better yet, the game features a music player that lets you listen to any of the songs and switch between on the fly.''
