*coughs* The Detroit Redwings are probably the team you are thinking of, not the Detroit "Penguins". Or perhaps you are thinking of the NBA team, the Detroit Pistons. But there are no penguins in Detroit.
As was stated, this is like a Who's Who of composers in Japan. It's truly amazing the talent that they're going to have contributing; I personally want to see more of Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono series, Xenogears) and Yoko Kanno (Escaflowne, Wolf's Rain, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex) and what they'll do with the music. Motoi Sakuraba's arrangement of the title theme is quite nice. Most of the composers listed on the site didn't even have their bigger / well-known franchises listed, like Yoko Shimumura (Parasite Eve) or Motoi Sakuraba (Star Ocean, the early Tales series) for example.
It's really quite fascinating to me that Nintendo could round up such a group and convince them to contribute to Smash Bros. Brawl. Hopefully the gameplay will be as varied and interesting as the musical selections.
I don't know about an official Guitar Hero for PC, but you can check out Frets on Fire. http://fretsonfire.sourceforge.net/ It's nicely open source for Windows and Linux.
