Indeed it does!

I just compared against you. How do you have such low scores? I'm not trying to be a dick (it could be a glitch), but how do you have 124 points on So What (Pink!) vocals? I didn't even know what was possible.

Hahaha! I *think* that I did the L:RB ESL challenge with no fail vox and just let it run while I worked or slept.

Check out my We Are the Champions score ;)

Fair enough.

Personally, I could never have it log a score with no-fail on. It would be like cheating to me. So, I guess I'll never have a score for some songs on some instruments. I'm looking at you, Through the Fire and Flames, on guitar.

That's fine, but I'm pretty sure that if I cared enough to erase those scores, I could beat them by legitimately trying once ;)

I'm not much of a singer anyway but I'm pretty proud of my never-quite-5-star score on HMNS next to yours.

It's also the top for me (bottom for you?) entry because it has the lowest for me (highest for you?) difference in scores.

I'm in for Jenny, Rollercoaster, and maybe Fire depending on how fun the drums look.

I'm in for Jenny and maybe Rollercoaster. Having listened to the songs, the others don't do anything for me at all. But I do appreciate the variety.

Yes! Ohio Players and Jenny for me for sure. I'll listen to the others.

“867-5309/Jenny” was rerecorded and released on 2010’s Tutone-Ality, which is the version featured in Rock Band.
The re-record is okay, though.

Looking for opinions.

I want to be able to play the pro guitar and bass parts of songs. I tried to learn guitar once when I was much younger and didn't stick with it. I am really interested in the Squire guitar, but the $250 pricetag is a bit of a deterrent, esp since I'm not sure if I will fully enjoy it or even want to transition into playing a real guitar.

Is the Mustang a decent option? If I like it, I could possibly sell it and put that money towards a Squire. If not, I can just keep the Mustang and use that. Or, should I just bite the bullet and go with the squire?

Ask Mad Dawg to sell you his.

from what I understand the mustang is not even close to the same league as the squire, however if you are a bit short on cash it does do it's job. I would say that you should get the squier if you have the extra money and if you don't like it then you can probably sell it for exactly what you paid for it on ebay or something as they can be pretty difficult to find in some places. I see ending auctions for 300+ on those and with the best buy movers coupon for 10% off you can get it for 270 out the door like I did.

edit. Just checked completed bids and not 1 of them is under 300, some going as high as 499. You will definitely be able to get your money back I imagine if you don't like it.

You need to click through to each song one at a time so now I just need to figure out an easier way to get the cutoffs from the website into a spreadsheet. Any ideas?

Okay I'm real close to getting the star cutoffs into a spreadsheet, but I need some help getting it to the finish line. The cutoffs for all songs are in this file:

http://www.rockband.com/files/leader...ar-cutoffs.dat

The fields are: cutoff, song id, # stars, instrument id.

The instrument ids are:
0 = drums, 1 = bass, 2 = guitar, 3 = vocals, 4 = harmony, 5 = keys, 6 = pro drums, 7 = pro guitar, 8 = pro bass, 9 = pro keys

This can be combined with the Song ID file to get songs titles. That file is here:

http://www.rockband.com/services.php...all-songs.json

The problem is that this is a JSON file and I can't seem to get it into a standard Excel layout. I tried opening in Excel, Wordpad and Access with no luck. Even after delimiting, the data all appears on row 1. Any suggestions?

I threw together a quick and dirty JSON->CSV converter in PHP to do this.
