Song Import FTW! You heard that Activision? No sale for me though, as I already own quite a lot of those.

so what about all the people that already have a bunch of these songs? and WHERE IS PINK FLOYD? Led Zepplin? You just know Stairway and Comfortably Numb would be HUGE on Rock Band.....

Wow. Are there really people who don't know that there won't be Led Zeppelin? It was said millions of times before: they DON'T WANT to licence their songs to anyone in gaming industry.

Pink Floyd on the other hand... Yes? Where are they? My favourite band, goddamit!

Pink Floyd on RB would be simply immense.

They have such an incredible range of fantastic songs that I'd happily buy a track pack of them.

Or just the fact that these are cheaper. I don't buy the songs online.
I bought the Rock Band Track Pack Vol 2 for $7.50 on clearance at Target (so $0.50 instead of $2 a song).
I've been trying to get the AC/DC pack, I'm not going any higher than $1 a song.

Then you already own the songs and don't need a disc to rip them all again. The track packs are mostly collections of DLC for those without internet, credit cards, or whatever reason they have to get new songs for their collection.

Ummm...as with all the Track Packs, all the songs were previously released as DLC, so no Floyd or ZeppElin.

Agreed that both bands should be in Rock Band, but if the bands won't sign a contract, WTF can Harmonix do?

Pretty unusual definition of Classic Rock, though. Dead Kennedys? Siouxsie? Really? (Not that they aren't good songs)

I dont know what does it worst though.

That I KNOW what the "real" classics are, or that some of these "classics" are what I listened to in highschool.

Perhaps-- but the bands/artists in question are neither old OR "classic," so they really shouldn't be here lol ;)

In all seriousness, they really aren't classic rock.

I think I'm lost on the definition of "classic rock." Maybe 11 of the 20 tracks could technically be defined in the "classic rock" genre. I wouldn't consider Dead Kennedys, Police, or Siousxie Sioux as "classic rock", and Lenny and The Stone Roses just like to think they are.

By definition, anything which is Post-Punk is not Classic Rock, so, no, the Police aren't Classic Rock.

Awesome, just not Classic Rock.

Fane - Actually, that's not really true...

The term "Classic Rock" was coined around 1980 as a format for radio station programming. "Classic Rock" rotations exclusively consisted of 'Album-Oriented Rock' (AOR) music from @1965 - (roughly)1985. The Police are indeed "Classic Rock," and were staples of every "Classic Rock" radio station rotation in the country.

On a side note... it's annoying when people mistakenly think that, the older a song *becomes*, the more it fits into "Classic Rock." In other words, they assume that in 2008, a song from 1994 is now "Classic Rock." In truth only AOR music from that specific time period is considered "Classic Rock," if we're really going by the letter of what the term meant...

While the fact that the Wii is getting it, I will not personally be getting it because of the lack of the import feature. I do not want to have to insert a separate disc to play these 20 tracks when the PS3 and 360 don't have to! It's so annoying how the Wii is still getting gimped!

Yeah, Harmonix continues to gimp or screw Wii owners over and over again. Half of the songs aren't available for the Wii DLC yet. Hell, most of the songs that were already DLC'd haven't been released for the Wii yet. At least Activision doesn't pretend they are not screwing me.

Seriously. The Wii version of RB is kind of a joke, but you can't blame Harmonix for that. They've only got so much to work with.

Okay, I am a huge Dead Kennedys fan. I am not sure if they count as classic rock. They stick out in this fucking list like a sore cock.

Yeah, do the Track Packs just have the option to transfer songs to the HDD or do they just include one time codes?

What I'm asking is...can I just rent this or do I need to wait for it to go on sale?

You need to wait for it to go on sale.
The code could probably be used on five PS3s like all PSN downloads but you would need the sign-in of the first person that registered it.

Given that most of the songs have been available as DLC for months, I bet it won't even sell that well.

Also, some idiots think the current Guitar Hero games are the true successors to the first two (and Rock Band is the imitator) and buy them on name value alone.

People are stupid.

This song set is totally an epic fail. Rehashed songs already available, plus a bunch of lame new ones.
