Harmonix started off by offering-up trivia questions, leading followers to speculate on the soon-to-be-featured-artists, before the developer broadcast the answers: Marilyn Manson, Tears for Fears, Foreigner, The B-52s, and Def Leppard.
Some of the hints posted by Harmonix were actually pretty interesting.

Particularly that bit about John Lennon drawing inspiration from The B-52s - that explains a lot about his post-Beatles career.
As for how the announcements play into the Rock Band 3 offerings, it’s definitely a solid variety of music - and will undoubtedly please fans from a variety of music genres. Personally, I’m especially excited about Foreigner and The B-52s (I’ve got my fingers crossed for “Rock Lobster”).
Following the recent Rock Band 3 trailer as well as pre-order bonuses, Harmonix is definitely revving up the pre-launch announcements. I’m sure we’ll hear more information regarding the artists you’ll get to mimic in Rock Band 3 as we get closer to the game’s release this holiday season.
