I'm glad to see some love for the Pinkerton album by Weezer. I hope to see more. =) Any Weezer would do, though.

There are many songs with that title, as has already been discussed. Don't get your hopes up.

Jonathan Coulton is the writer of the Portal song, "Still Alive" so your claim that he should not get his hopes up is complete and utter idiocy. It -is- that song, not 'some other random song also by that name blah blah blah.'

Yes, Jonathan Coulton is the writer of the Portal song, but as it says in the article, only song titles were found. The artists listed are all best guesses, not definite.

I'm stoked by this list. Only question is - when? With March already tentatively announced, and only two more Mondays in February, we may be waiting a bit for some of this content. My guess is, once the individual instruments are all for sale (I think the guitar will be the last), then the DLC will really start flowing.

I must say I am continuously impressed by the amount of DLC that Harmonix is releasing. This list of songs is worthy of more XBL Point Card purchases - especially for "Nevermind" alone.

Agreed this is good news, this totally makes up for the "trash pack" and butt rock that they have been selling as of late. Just keep'em coming!

there's going to be so much Rock Band DLC...

I hope they add some extra features to the game though... especially an online Band World Tour mode.

Instead of releasing heaps and heaps of DLC, maybe they could get round to releasing the actual game in the UK/Australia?

I keep holding my breath for more Queen, but specifically, where is Bohemian Rhapsody in all of this? I mean seriously, isn't it the point to act a bit like Wayne and Garth while playing these games?

Why is everyone so excited for this? Yeah its more DLC. But its the same artists that we already have seen and heard! Why is there not more of a variety?

Nirvana (Please stop, wasn't that great of a band)
Weezer
Rolling Stones
STP
Foo Fighter (atleast give us Everlong!)

It seems that MTV and Harmonix haven't been able to or is unwilling to extend the invite to any other artist. Could this be a money issue? Do they not want to pay any more bands for use of thier songs? Is it a difficult job/task for them to ACTUALLY make the songs into Rock Band Tracks?

Honestly I would be happy if I say more of a diversity in the music that is being brought in as DLC.

maybe:
At The Drive In
Daft Punk (Robot Rock)
Built To Spill
My Morning Jacket
Mars Volta
Modest Mouse
Band of Horses
TV On The Radio

Just to name a few...

Wow. I agree on all your points, invictus1er, ESPECIALLY the bands you have listed there...it's like you've read my mind (or stole my ipod). I'd kill to play "Wolf Like Me" or "One Armed Scissor" or "One Big Holiday" ...and while we're at it, how bout some Arcade Fire? The Walkmen? Wolf Parade? LCD Soundsystem?

Props to your taste in music, my friend. Props.

Ugh.

Those bands in your list wouldn't sell as well as, say, a Nirvana pack. They're just providing what people want.

I did get a laugh out of your "is it too hard for them?"/"can they not get more tracks?" questions, though. It's EA and MTV. They can do whatever they want. They can come into your house and kick your dog.

I'm not sure what you're thinking anyway, that's a pretty lackluster list you gave. Daft Punk in Rock Band? No thanks. Maybe if they bring out Geek Band or something.

yeah, it would be a shame if they continued to follow the "popular bands pretty much everyone's heard of" model for choosing dlc. i would kill for some indie music, but it's true that most songs i would gladly shell out money for wouldn't get many downloads from the rest of the community. surely they can at least humor me a little.

I agree, it's not just sticking with popular bands, it's a lack of band variety in general. I'm guessing there are royalty problems or something. Not sure why... releasing a song for Rock Band should be pretty much like printing money for the band involved.

If Hysteria is the Def Leppard song, I'm gonna beat somebody over the head at Harmonix. Muse deserves it's own 3 song pack if you ask me. >_

oh, truly. one of the few good things about gh3 is the inclusion of muse, even though they pretty much negated all of the good aspects by making it an assload of repetitive strumming.

Prince would be awesome. They need to throw "Kiss" up there. Anyone who can yell the screaming near the end should get a 16x multiplier.

Don't worry, Hysteria is NOT the Def Leppard song. That would go against Rock Bands policy of putting FRIGGIN nothing from the 80s on their damn game. Oh..and their policy of releasing DLC from the same damn bands over and over and over again. Someone shoot me.

I think Rock Band is doing a pretty good job so far they release songs i listen to so i usually buy quite a few i just wish they would release more of a variety of early to mid 90's rock bands like Blind Melon, Hootie and the Blowfish, Toadies and Collective Soul songs like these they would just be fun to play
