Let's give these a second hint;

#33: One band experienced a surge in popularity because they were featured as the end-credits song.
Hint 2: It was a notoriously difficult song as well.

Second hint makes it sound like a Guitar Hero game, in which case I'd guess Guitar Hero 3.

More hints for the next batch of games:

#40:
Commanders move the armies around the map and lead them into turn-based battle.
This pretty recent game is a spiritual successor to a very old game series.

First hint could really fit a lot, but I'm gonna say Wargroove.
