No kidding. It'd never happen, but I'd buy a full album download of Rum, Sodomy & the Lash or If I Should Fall from Grace with God.

Both excellent choices and coincidentally the first two CDs i bought when i was introduced to the Pogues many moons ago.

Here's the only thing I agree with as far as DLC and country songs, holiday songs, never heard of the artist songs.... Rock Band needs this. I need this. It will guaran-damn-tee I'm not spending money every week on songs. My wallet is happier for this. And I have more than enough songs to keep me entertained to be ok with skipping weeks of things I don't want.

:up: to Christmas songs.

:down: :down: to them not being Trans Siberian Orchestra tunes.

Looks like that's not all.

I'm in for all those holiday tracks, however I'd love to see some REAL Barenaked Ladies songs eventually in Rock Band, those would be a lot of fun I think.

Yeah, I'd be pretty geeked if they did an accompanying 3-pack for each of those bands.

Agreed.....but I will get The Pretenders and Billy Squier song. And I am glad that they are $1 each.

thelwig14 12-18-08 02:16 PM

Does anyone know what The Pretenders Blue Christmas it is?

The one I found on youtube is fast but the one on itunes (only a 30 second snippet) sounds slower and more bluesy. Unless it speeds up, they sound like two different versions.

The Bus 12-18-08 02:22 PM

I'm not spending money on a song which will lose its appeal after a few days. Like I'd really want to play a Christmas song if it comes up randomly when I'm playing in June.

Michael Corvin 12-18-08 02:25 PM

You can delete it and redownload it next year.

Well if you're playing in Rio it would be appropriate, weather-wise.

SexualPudding 12-18-08 03:19 PM

I could go for some non-Christmas Billy Squier stuff.

Michael Corvin 12-18-08 03:20 PM

I could go for some non-Christmas Billy Thorpe stuff. ;)

Children of the Sun would be killer.

I demand to have Slobberbone's "Gimmie Back My Dog" in the game:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/N42hmh8IYiU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/N42hmh8IYiU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

lordwow 12-18-08 04:19 PM

I might pick up those for .99

No, no they don't. That'd be a complete waste of an effort by Harmonix.

They've already released 5 songs worth of watered down bullshit country. If they're going to release more, it needs to be classic country.

Or some Hank III. Some good hell-raising country.

El Scorcho 12-18-08 06:27 PM

Country that I can play one-handed on the drums so I can hold my bottle of jack in a paper bag with the other hand

If you haven't heard Hank III you really need to check him out. He calls his style hellbilly and it is pretty cool. He also is in a metal band called Assjack.

If we got some Def Leppard we could play drums this way too!

Mazje 12-18-08 08:05 PM

So, to kill time until the DLC announcement, let's speculate. Let's assume the other DLC will be at least another song from the Christmas artists (because it seems odd they'd debut an artist with a Christmas track and not have them represented by anything else; Pretenders being the exception). Going by this assumption (which could obviously be wildly off-base), what songs do you think or want to see tomorrow?

Here's mine:

Pretenders - Back on the Chain Gang

Squier - The Stroke

BNL - If I Had $1,000,000

Thoughts?
