Beatles Guitar Hero Game a possibility?

Everyone likes a good Guitar Hero session. Lets you immerse yourself in some solid tunes, and pretend you're far cooler than you are - what's not to like?

Well, perhaps the absence of your favorite music (though competitor Rock Band has been fixing that issue through downloadable tracks). I know that I grew pretty weary of all the metal rock near the end of the games. As a result, the idea to make a Beatles-centric edition strikes me as genius. They've certainly got the catalogue for it, and much of it should be fairly virtual-guitar friendly.

Recently, such hopes have been fueled by hints at the game's development by the folks at Sony:

"Following the announcement of an Aerosmith-centric Guitar Hero, chief executive of Sony/ATV Music Publishing Martin N. Bandier spoke with the LA Times, indicating that he "liked the idea of a dedicated Beatles edition of Guitar Hero." In his own words, Bandier said, "It's something we have talked about and something I'd like to pursue."

Let's all hope this comes true... and while theyre at it, have it come with a sitar controller!
