Well the classic rock is where the real guitar heros came from. There are very few newer (withing the past 10 or so years) players that I would consider guitar "heroes". Jamming as many notes as you can into a song really doesn't qualify. But you are right some songs from the first 2 games are suspect (psychobilly freakout, Carry me home and institutionalized come to mind nothing original there).
I wouldn't want the job of the guys picking the songs. You have to pick a good mix of classics and fairly new songs. Songs with longevity. Songs people don't mind hearing quite a few times and don't mind playing them over and over. Suicidal tendencies flat out sucks, institutionalized goes absolutely no where and I only 5 starred it by turning the volume down. I know its a cover but the original sucked worse.
I can't really say theres a demographic for this game because youtube proves there isn't one (that little 8 year old bastard almost acing psychobilly freakout on expert really pisses me off) but we all know a majority of people playing this are guys. Guys with guitars don't want to hear John Denver or N'Sync. But on the other hand we don't wanna play something so infuriatingly bad that we can't stand to play it.
So in this case most everyone can agree is a pretty good place to base the game in. GH 2 gives a few newer songs a chance more so than the first game. I can't wait to see the full track list when it comes out.
