If there were one Bad Religion song I wouldn't have wanted, it's "21st Century Digital Boy". Between that and "Sorrow", Harmonix is really scraping the bottom of the barrel there. C'mon, "Against the Grain"? "No Control"? Something listenable?

I'll bet those fucking Maroon 5 songs are fun on drums. It's always those catchy radio songs that rule. Which means I'll probably buy them. Dammit.

Kind of what I was thinking too. Never would I listen to them, but damn they sounded kind of fun. Fuck them!

In for Bad Religion, the Maroon 5 pack, and maybe Chiodos, though the lack of drums on that track concerns me.

Alright, Cake is long overdue. They're on tour this summer and working on a new album as well (first in 5 years), so where is our track pack?

I commented on Cake's Facebook page about getting some songs in the game, who knows if they read it but it wouldn't hurt if a few people 'liked' or commented as well.

Here's 10, but any Cake song would be fun to play.

I'm with you on this. Sort of. I like "21st Century Digital Boy" as a song, but I don't think it'll be very fun to play on Rock Band. Something more up-tempo like "American Jesus" or "A Walk" would have been much better. I'll probably still pick it up though.

That aside, I'm thoroughly disappointed in that Warped pack. Aside from Bad Religion, it's all played-out screamy bullshit. It really has me down about next week's pack as well.

Oops, I was listening to the acoustic version of the Chiodos track. The album version has drums. Duh.

In for "21st Century Digital Boy", depending on what version it is. They need some older (re: good) Bad Religion - just release the entire Against the Grain album.

I was hoping for more than just one BR song. Ah well...hopefully it will be the earlier version.

After listening to all of these, I'm in for Chiodos, Underoath, and "Wake Up Call" from Maroon 5.

I'm not happy about this, believe you me. I still am wary of the "chance" aspect of it. But it is 5,000/day, so maybe it's the first 5,000/day

Yes I have not won anything with my codes so far. I knew I should have grabbed handfuls of free codes given out at E3.

I'm 5 for 5 so far on these codes, and I'm loving this promotion.

I'm 7 of 7 so far on the codes. For a dollar I get a soda and 200 Wii points. I'm also getting people to give me their caps so I've only spent $5 so far.

3/3 so far with 6 more in the fridge

My daughter says her day care's vending machine also has these caps, so she's on a mission to collect them without telling her friends why. Just supposed to say she likes collecting them.

The only problem I'm having is picking what I want. I have to cross-reference my wishlist, prioritize singles over packs, unless it's just one from a pack, decide if there's a chance that song will end up on a future track pack disc (90s, alternative, punk, what-have-you).

Suffice it to say, I'm having a tough time

Also, the newest songs they have on there are Alice Cooper (5/19). I wonder if they'll add more before the 9/30 deadline...
