I've got around almost all the downloads, and would have the rest but money isn't permitting me at the time. I'm short around 12 songs or so. I'll continue to buy everything, because I get my moneys worth each week

What's the easiest way to see how many songs you have?

Got into the solo career difficulty selection menu. It'll tell you that you've "Played X of N" for each difficulty.

..Then subtract 58 if you only want to know how much DLC you have.

[shame] I have all DLC songs except for 3 (Cherry Bomb, It Hurts, and Beetlebum)...[/shame]

But I know someone who has every single DLC song, so that makes me feel marginally better, sort of...

Don't feel bad about Cherry Bomb.. That song is horrid, horrid!

Beetlebum is actually a fairly fun song. I can't recall It Hurts at the moment though.

154 DLC...I used to buy everything that came out until that Pixies album. Just thinking about playing those songs makes me sleepy. That album coming out was just what I needed to finally put an end to my obsession of having every song in the game downloaded. Since then, I have been very selective about my DLC...It actually feels good to not download songs that I would never in a million years buy except for completist reasons.

My shame is in owning so much DLC, not in missing three songs.

Cherry Bomb's a cover and seemed kind of dull.
Beetlebum's a cover and seemed kind of dull. Of all the Blur songs out there, they chose this one?
It Hurts has a chorus that I find repetitive and annoying.

I buy all the DLC because I rarely play the game alone and its nice to have a variety of songs for parties and get togethers. Songs I would never chose for myself have become hits with people there. I'm always amazed at what songs people are into, so its nice to have a full assortment. The DLC is dirt cheap too, which helps.

It really does. I tried to start immediately being selective from week 1, just so if I was on the fence over something, I could pick it up during a slow week. That said, a few slip in here and there just to feed the need. I'm at about 140 or so for DLC tracks.

Good lord, I only buy songs I like, and those have been few of late. I got the full Boston pack, and we bought most of The Who, plus one or two songs here or there most months. But if I don't like it in the preview, I don't buy it. Keeping things under control for me.

I have 173 total songs, so 115 DLC songs. I cant beat 14 of them on Expert Guitar yet, but I do enjoy all of them that I have. If I had some extra MS Points, I would probably buy the rest of the Who Songs I didnt get, and the last 2 Grateful Dead songs

I can't speak for anyone else, but I have really broad tastes in terms of the music I enjoy, which is why I buy most of the DLC. I have bought songs from artists I'm not really crazy about (i.e., Oasis) because they're popular at get-togethers and add some variety to the overall playlist. It also helps that I tend to jump on deals whenever there are discounted MS points, so I'm not actually paying $2 per track.

I might actually get that Sixx AM song. I dug it when I heard it on the radio.

Do people actually want to sing those SoaD songs?

Anybody got a link to the Buckcherry song? I thought I recognized it, but I can't find anything on youtube by them (would love to see Zebrahead brought in, though )

Hell yeah! Those two will be awesome for vocalists!

Looks like an overall good week, probably pick up everything except for the BuckCherry one. Not a big fan of theirs.
