I was sure that Rockaway beach was on the tracklist but now it seems to be Blitzkreig Bop. Not that I'm complaing, I prefer BB but I guess that means we can download RAB because I know they've built it allready, I've seen screens with the lyrics scrolling.

It was replaced with Blitzkrieg Bop wich in my opinion was a much better decision to make.

They replaced it with BB, don't know why, but I am sure RAB will be in DLC.:p :p

They're most likely hoping for familiarity and mass appeal. More people know BB over rockaway

I'm disappointed because of that, they've done that with too many songs so far (i.e. picking Creep by Radiohead)... the Ramones are one of my favorite bands, and their self-titled album is my favorite album ever, but I'm pretty-sick of hearing BB... I'd rather have Rockaway Beach...

but I can't really complain because of the DLC...

I'm happy with the switch because RAB was my least favorite of the songs announced so far.

I'm disappointed because, as the true Rock Band die-hard I am, I immediately went out to iTunes when RAB was announced to buy it so I could learn the song.

Wasted buck...ergh.

Oh well.

BB...not much better if you ask me. Just not a Ramone fan I guess.

yeah the best thing to do is hope for the songs you want as DLC. it's hard to complain about the set list. im just blow away by the concept of the game, and the artists they're able to include. it's not like the songs they select are horrible. it will still be a great game. having the songs you want is a bonus.

I thought it was already announced RAB would be DLC?

While I like Rocket To Russia more than the self-titled, I do think BB is the better song.

I have to be quite honest, I wouldn't buy RAB if it came out on DLC. I mean it isn't a bad song, but it was definetly my least favorite song out of everything announced.

Another thing, at work today Mississippi Queen came on , and i was blissfully singing along in front og all the customers. It was great. /random thought
