No, but seriously, the comparison isn't fair. Guitar Hero and Rock Band are rhythm games designed to be simplified versions of their instruments in order to facilitate a fun game, much like DDR. Rocksmith, however, is a simulator designed to teach you how to actually PLAY a guitar (or bass).  How effective it is at that is debatable, but that's what it is meant to do.
True, but you could still prefer the simpler approach overall compared to the simulation one, or vice versa.

For the sake of a like to like comparison then, although I get the feeling you already indirectly answered it, Rock Band or Guitar Hero?
Also, do you think there's a place for that type of game to make a comeback or do you think the genre still needs a timeout?
