JamLegend
JamLegend is Guitar Hero or Rock Band on the Internet, for free.
It's now in open Beta so no invite codes are required.
You use the keyboard instead of a plastic guitar and it's a lot of fun.
There is a limited choice of music at the moment, but their aim is to cover all genres and have an extensive library to choose from. They're focussing on Rock/Alternative to begin with.
They also aim to add drums, bass and cow bell. Some songs already have rhythm, available in the three levels 'Normal' 'Skilled' and 'Insane'.
