Hoofa. No wonder they didn't publicize these songs in advance. Last week we got Radiohead, Weezer and The Pretenders. Now we get this? Maddone a mi.

i may be asking for too much seeing as i got the game yesterday and just got the metallica pack today, but i could sure use another one of that quality. Or just about any 80s-early 90s metal would be good too. Too much terrible modern rock in the game

Microsoft has a free 3 year warrenty on every 360 ever made. It's probably too late for you, but if whatever happened to yours was covered, well, they don't need your hard drive.

I'll get all these songs and I like the bands (except AAR) but color me disappointed. I was hoping for some Christmassy goodness. Where's the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Manheim Steamroller, and Burl Ives? When will their day come?

i wouldn't not really count on that happening dude. only mainstream bands that are popular with the crowd make it in. im would love for them to release some songs by anberlin, but that is not gonna happen

Awesome. Best releases thus far by a LONG shot since street date. I will be buying all 5 as soon as they're up. About time some real music is available. They did have Weezer last week, but it was one of their worst songs. The Clash and the Ramones are very good, but those were not good song choices. The $1 price point is super cake, what it should be, and I REALLY hope it stays.

Yep, gonna have to get the 30 seconds to mars. The family doesn't know that Rock Band is sitting under the tree. Hard to keep it in especially since the son has been spending all day trying to beat my score on GH2...

You know, it's funny how people hate on "mainstream" bands. They're mainstream for a reason.

It's so obnoxious when pompous jackass hate on music and then flaunt the music they like. To be honest, I think Nirvana sucks. Metallica sucks. I'd rather listen to AAR on endless repeat than have to listen to "One" by Metallica.

Is AAR the best band ever? Of course not. But they are popular and they are mainstream. Why dip into the room of forgotten has beens or never will bes before getting songs that are popular?

I don't like any of these songs. I don't like any of these bands. I'm much more of a classic rock person. But hating on a band because they're "mainstream," and "popular," but "suck" is ridiculous. Your opinion isn't the end-all-be-all of what truly sucks when it comes to picking what songs to put in the game. The opinion of society at large counts, and guess what? You can't get mainstream and popular without the approval and acceptance of society.

Uh, I don't hate them because they're mainstream. I hate them because they suck.

Yeah, I'm going with the "I hate those bands because they suck, not because they are popular/mainstream" too.I don't see why I would need to like a band because they are popular. Some of the best bands of all time had very little success on the charts, but a lasting influence.

At a dollar a piece I may just buy them all to show my appritiation and hope it sends a sign if enough people buy and they see there is more money in being reasonable.

Thee aren't bands I normally listen to either, but for $1 it's hard to pass up that kind of new content. There's a ton of bands in GH2, 3 and RB I never listened to and ended up liking the songs. I'll at least pick up AAR and maybe both 30STM songs.

I don't see how even if you're a snob you could pass up a new song or two for a couple of bucks.

Whether I like these or not (haven't listened yet) I'm buying them on principle just to support this awesome pricing! Thanks EA!

Since when that shit is considered music... We need some Zeppelin, but I know that's impossible. Maybe some more radiohead then.

Why is Zeppelin impossible? They are a must for DLC!
Also when are the Who and Nirvana albums coming out?

Zeppelin's impossible because it's apparently very difficult to even get cover rights.

That Dirty Little Secret song is decent, and I kinda like the one by The Sounds. The BEST part is that these are only $1, which makes me a lot more likely to buy them even if I think they're only okay.

It's impossible because LZ is really picky to whom they allow to use their music.

Remember that movie school of rock? Well, Jack had to make a video with like 10000 people in it, begging them to allow them to use the immigrant song.

As for the complete I don't think there's a release date yet..
