    I'm guessing Nightwish was the one 2 years in the making? If so, kinda not surprised! Good job guys!

    Yay, more Foreigner. A bit disappointed about still no "Double Vision" and "Juke Box Hero". Don't know about Nightwish so got to youtube the song.

    Yay, Foreigner! I'm buying both songs right away! But still no "Double Vision" or "Long, Long Way From Home"?

    Well, it only took nearly 5 years, but Harmonix finally released some Nightwish.

    D'oh, but it's Annette material!

    "Yay" for Nightwish, another "Yay" for its upgrade, a mighty "BOO" at only one song and no older material.
