Main Offender has some good parts throughout the song to practice on, but they're kinda split up. That's another option.

No, there aren't any discounted songs at the moment. I just got the game a few weeks ago and when I scrolled through the song list, everything was the same price. I would have paid 80 for those songs, but I've passed on them at full price.

I thought you had to hold the strum bar. OK, scratch that one.

I don't quite get why Harmonix was able to obtain licensing for "Welcome Home" by Coheed & Cambria, but not for "Ten Speed (Of God's Blood and Burial)" which is off the same album, and in fact the next track following "Welcome Home." Kind of disappointing.

I guess we'll agree to disagree.

The clicking is definitely bad on the LPs. That is the only downside for me. The worst part of the clicks is that it actually clicks twice for each strum, once when you strum and once when you let go.
I took apart one of my LPs to see if I could remove the clicker, but I didn't see any way to do it. It appears as though someone else figured out how to do it though: http://www.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36498. I will definitely be trying that on one of my LPs.

I was listening to my iPod a bit today and came across an artist that should definitely be in RB...Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers! "Runnin' Down a Dream," "I Won't Back Down" and some others would be pretty sweet. Anyone else agree?
