Put Your Favourite Musicians in a Game

Followers of the Podquisition podcast will recognise this, but I thought it was a good topic. What game could really do with having your favourite musician in it?

I'm going to cheat and go for a composer - and not necessarily my favourite, because it's tough to choose. But I feel that any bombastic space opera series (Halo, Mass Effect, Star Fox) could benefit from a bit of Gustav Holst's Planets suite.

I'd wanna see my girl Tay Tay in a videogame based on the music video to Bad Blood.

It'd basically be a cyberpunk Bayonetta, with Taylor as the titular character, Kendrick Lamar in the Rodin role and Selena Gomez as the Jeanne equivalent. There's even a motorbike bit!

Albeit more like Tron lightcycles than Bayonetta's chase sequence.

Thomas Bergersen. Outside him the only "musicians" I want in my games are the ones currently composing scores. Can't stand normal music, heck before game music I didn't listen to any music. A cheap remark, but I honestly cannot name any "musicians" in the vein normal people class them that I want, or, far more importantly, that I feel would actually fit in with a proper game.

I've spent a good ten minutes trying to think of what sort of game would benefit having my favourite musicians in it, but all I've come up with is The Protomen... who write narrative-based rock operas based on Mega Man. So I'm basically cheating mentioning them.

Oh wait..
