Yeah the Cars are awesome, and Oseck is an amazing producer too.
Actually he produced my favorite album of all time, and if it goes up as DLC I'll buy a 360/PS3 and RB just for it.
BTW it's the Blue Album by Weezer :D

I hate it when the first post is written by a tool.

And what makes me a tool exactly? I didn't post that to be 'furst!!1!', I posted it to make my comment known. For me, this won't be a purchase as >£200 (>$400 FYI) is enough on Rock Band for one week, and I don't know who they are. For you (presumably), it'll be a purchase as you do know who they are. To me, that =/= -1.

If you know the first 3, I'd bet you'd know most of the others if you heard them.

You have to get moving in stereo man, its a definitive track of the 80's

They will not get any more of my dollars until I see some "Baba O'Riley" or "Bargain."

Aww man The Cars. Talk about THE definition of 80s music.

I like the Cars, but would prefer variety instead of full albums. How about releasing 9 songs from 9 different bands in a single week.

I'm all over this. I haven't heard of them either before. Know what I did? Instead of ignoring songs I didn't know, I went out and listened to them. The album is awesome, albiet a little on the easy side (at least it sounds that way).
Will be getting them all. Great Album. (this is coming from a death metal fan)

wow, could I NOT care about this any less?
Come ON Harmonix! Where's Metallica's Black album, and fucking Nevermind...y'know, the ones you said you'd have at LAUNCH--DAMN NEAR A YEAR AGO?
Of course that's just my opinion...I could be wrong ;)

actually they never confirmed either of those. Nevermind showed up in a leaked set list from a test system and the metallica album was "an unspecified metallica album". So settle down Beavis.

160 MS points right, not 180. 3 of these songs are duds, so I guess it will still be cheaper to buy 6 at 160 MS a piece I think.

One of the best rock albums ever... I can't wait to get my hands on this!
Word to the naysayers:
Harmonix totally know what they're doing – they probably have market and research data showing that a good percentage of those of us hooked on Rock Band have been clamoring for stuff like this. I personally know a TON of friends and family of my generation (mid-late 30s) who are massive Rock Band addicts and are spreading the good word through sessions and parties – and my generation is bound to have more disposable income and spending power than younger fans of the most recent stuff.
It's impossible to please everybody - unless you like absolutely everything there are going to be DLC releases you don't care for. Harmonix is bound to get to the stuff you want eventually.
It would be interesting to see which DLC has been the most popular to date – I'm willing to bet it's the older/classic stuff. Harmonix would have to be insane not to devote more effort to those respective genres making them the most money.

Still needs moar Pink Floyd. Also I just noticed there's no Van Halen in Rock Band either. Needs more of that too.

I know some of the Cars, but nothing this early. No way I would buy that. Too old for a whole album download.

This album is amazing. It is almost a Cars greatest hits because the majority of their famous songs are off this album. Also wanted to tell those contemplating buying this to check out Bye, Bye Love. Not their most famous song but it is great nonetheless.
