Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

Per the official forums 4chan once spammed the request feature with "Never Gonna Give You Up" so I'm going with that until they announce otherwise.

Whatever it is, I'll probably be buying it.

Yes it does! Best DLC of the year by far. Give the pack 4 lighters with Everything's Zen being the first song I've rated 5 lighters this year.

Got the stage kit today. Can't wait for it to get dark. Looked pretty cool even in the afternoon with the blinds closed.

It's pretty lame that the most requested song ever is from Rick Astley but it won't be the worst song they've released this year playability wise.

Bush is definitely great. Best drums of the year, and guitar/bass are fun too. Of course, I should say that these songs were huge in my college days, so there is some personal bias there. Bring on Plowed next week!

I'm down for the whole pack. I'm co-hosting a Mardi Gras party (with a twist of Rock Band) next weekend and these songs should be a hit at it.

Same for me. I'll take 80s (and early 90s, for that matter) power cheese DLC anytime I can get it. All are great party songs that anyone should know.

Mr. Big, by the way, was the biggest surprise to me. Can't wait for next week!

In for all, tho I would have preferred Heart's What About Love instead of Alone, but it's a nice keyboard heavy song with a good guitar solo, so I understand.

But it was/is.

There was a time on 4chan when they decided to "troll" RB.com and request the song a billion times. I guess it worked.

Man alive, do we need a Heart track pack of some kind. Preferably a five-or-six pack made up of their early rocking stuff as opposed to their later power-balladry.

Ahh, that makes more sense than it legitimately being #1 based on some lame internet meme.

In for the pack. I can sing all four of those (yes, even Heart) no problem. Glad they are actually doing a pack so we save a little bit of money, cause I could have totally seen them do these separately and that's it. (in that case, I probably would have only bought Astley and Poison).

I totally agree.

You'd think they'd have something in place that said "if a song gets requested a bajillion times in a short amount of time, then it's probably not legit."

As we all know, they're too busy playing hacky sack to come up with that sort of algorithm though.
