I could see how the Beatles wouldn't be as fun in GH, because they're not a riff-based band. But Rock Band seems made for the diverse catalog of the Beatles. Have you ever really listened to Sgt. Pepper's or the White Album all the way through? That and those albums are so musically removed from the early stuff, there's a wide range of music that can be mined from the Beatles large catalog. The tempo changes, odd vocals, extended choruses, variety of musical styles, are perfect for the collaborative nature of Rock band. However Good Charlotte and Pink, featured in the lego game are pretty much the standard for bland over-produced modern "punk/pop." And the Beatles are nowhere near my favorite band. Maybe in my top 25.

Now as far as the timing of the release, that's another story. I think the Beatles are a really good idea, but it should have been an earlier release. The Rock Band/ GH schtick is a fad that is getting pretty old. Lego Rock Band is just a thinly disguised version of regular rock band. The songs in the set-lists here are just songs that didn't make the cut the first 2 times around.
