Interesting to see it being played in person and seeing how the charting for it is.

Do I get extra points for correctly predicting Roundabout and the inclusion of Dio before they were announced?

And my picks:

New Order - "Blue Monday"

Before I make my picks, I suggest we provide hints if we're going to put the videos in spoiler tags anyway.

1. This group has several songs in the Rock Band canon, but this one has been absent for some reason. It's not their big 1983 hit, but I think it's better for RB. Endorsed by your local school board:

Spoiler:


2. This would be a great song for RB to get, and not impossible since the artist was featured in RB2. And if you're playing solo, I have a question: how does it feel to be on your own?

Spoiler:


^:mad: Damn copyrights, this is the best I could find. I want Dylan's version of the song, mind you.


3. The Wurlitzer in this group's sound made it for the best that they were saved for a keyboard peripheral to make their RB debut. Some might prefer a more logical song, but I'm hoping for this one:

Spoiler:

(This apparently had a real video, but damned if I can find it.)

I'll list them again in case someone wants to search the thread to check to see if a song is taken.

The Police - Don't Stand So Close to Me
Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone
Supertramp - Goodbye Stranger

I'm not playing, but I'd would have to imagine that Coldplay and George Harrison would have to be done deals at this point.

If the "two extra songs from RB1" thing actually pans out, I'm willing to wager they'll be available as a download. I don't think Harmonix would actually expect a bunch of people to still have their RB1 discs.

Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone

I'm expecting they'll say you can pay $X to download the whole RB1 setlist now with keyboard, harmony, and pro mode charting PLUS get bonus 2 songs of Metallica - Enter Sandman and Black Sabbath - Paranoid. No need to bother with the cover of Iron Maiden's Run to the Hills since they have a direct version now.

Or if that's not something you're interested in, you can keep the ~55 individual files on the hard drive.

Whether or not you'd need the disc for the new RB1 download is an unknown in my mind. Seems like an unnecessary restriction. They may just go off previous export key purchase, if possible (and it seems like it would be). Hell, it may be something RB3 checks for.

My guess is Dream Theater - Pull Me Under. I know it was prominently featured in GHWT but it would be so perfect for this game (and I would never have to put that disc in my Xbox again -pray-).

Also: Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird and Loverboy - Working for the Weekend

I've kept mine because I never know when I might need to export again. And I did, when my PS3 got the YLOD.

I've got my RB1 as well, and all the track packs, LEGO, Beatles, and Green Day too.

Nothing besides Miley..


Hey gang,

Here's the DLC hitting the RB Music Store next week! 5 Miley Cyrus singles, perfect for the pop fans out there, the female vocalist, parents looking for more family friendly content for Lego Rock Band and HMXjohnd. Yes, HMXjohnd dances to Miley Cyrus and at one point he explained that "her hooks are insane". Between Ozzy last week and Miley this week, we've pretty much got both ends of the spectrum covered!

Available on Xbox 360®, Wii and PlayStation 3 system (June 22):

“7 Things” +
“Can’t Be Tamed”
“Fly On the Wall” +
“See You Again” +
“Start All Over” +

(All tracks are original master recordings)

(These tracks will be available in Europe on PlayStation 3 system June 23)

These tracks will be available as individual tracks on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 system and Wii, as well as “Miley Cyrus Pack 01” on Xbox 360. Songs marked with “+” will also be available in the family-friendly LEGO® Rock Band Music Store.

Price:

$1.99 USD, £.99 UK, €1.49 EU (160 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360) per track
680 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360 for Miley Cyrus Pack 01
$2.00 USD (200 Wii Points™) per track
"Start All Over" is the extra track they fucked up in the PR.

I'd buy See You Again. It's just a stupid infectious pop song like Poker Face.

I don't like it either, but as others have said, it will help the game reach a wider audience.

As big as an Ozzy fan I was in the 80s, it's sad that I recognize more Miley Cyrus songs in her pack than Ozzy songs in last week's pack.

It's too bad I don't have a Dream Theater tour shirt to put on to stoke the juju.

Very nice. 20 players so far. Let's have a tie breaker!

How about taking a page from Red Dead Redemption's Liar's Dice and I'll take "Spot-on" guesses. There's no way to know how many people will play or how many songs will be guessed (currently 20x3 = 60 less 2 each for loneranger and thematahara who only guessed one song). Just guess how many songs the group will get exactly right. Closesr to the actual number, the better.

I'll start with... 7.

Got 'em. Reminder, here's the list for you to refer to for your Spot-On guesses: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?...wVkFjdlE&hl=en

Shag, what gives with you not playing? Would it just be unfair? ;)
