Two dollars = 160 MSP. So you're saying you'd lose 160 MSP, and he's saying you'd lose 2 dollars, and you're both saying the exact same thing.

I can comment more specifically for That Authoring Group right now.

As you may know, Noble is basically gone. I mean, he's still around, but his "real" job has become much more time-intensive, and...

I know I've recommended it before, and I might have missed if you responded, but Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction is my favorite full album in the game, especially on drums.

Bought all of the foreign-song week from near the beginning of RB3's release (except for Jerk It Out, which I already owned), that Inhabited track from the next week, then the Three Days Grace pack...

Wait, wasn't this released 2 years ago?

It's post-RB3 DLC, and RB3 wasn't released until october 2010. This was released 2 years ago, in 2011.

EDIT: DOUBLE NINJA'D DEAR LORD

my attempted translation: "If the best barometer of interest is in a game's hardcore audience, and the hardcore audience doesn't seem to care, what does that say about interest in the game? Maybe if...

D= Volcano is my favorite!

Yes it is!

Unfortunately our output has slowed to a crawl. With most of our employees in or graduating from college/university, we've been overwhelmed with finals, starting careers, starting...

Tighten Up is WAY better on drums. Howlin' For You is a repetitive swing beat, where Tighten Up is just a nice syncopated groove the whole way through.

for the Foo Fighters? Stacked Actors is my...

All of these are good choices, but let me make a few notes again (all my opinion, of course).

get Heard it Through the Grapevine if you can only get one CCR track. 12 minutes of awesomeness.
...

A few notes on these:

Judas Priest charts tend to be pretty lackluster on drums. Some are better than others, but as a drummer there's not a whole lot on tap that you couldn't find anywhere else....

Yup. Same thing with Vasoline, The Hand That Feeds, and several others. The Hand That Feeds is the most jarring for me, personally.

The point was that anything Harmonix adds or brings out in the mix is stuff that was originally recorded by the band, not something created BY Harmonix. IE: Since the OP was mentioning some songs...

I'm a big fan of Going Mobile as far as The Who songs. If you want something really special, go with Young Man Blues, since that's insanely hard (but also very fun).

Really, the only Who songs...

I think it's more a matter of "never say never" than "expect us to return!"

Basically, Harmonix has said that they have no new Rock Band games in development, and no plans to do so, but that...

Even if they weren't muted out, HMX still emphasizes different things when mixing the songs. A band mixes the song to sound however they want it to sound, and HMX mixes the same song to make sure...

If you like slightly poppier Rush, go with Closer to the Heart and Limelight (Original Version). If you like stuff a little more technical, go with Working Man (Vault Edition) and YYZ.

Also,...

for my first RB3-backlog week, I bought the week with Queensryche, The Flys, and the two Staind tracks.

That is true, I was just pointing out another case of a song with a hilariously large percentage of the lyrics censored.

Sir Psycho Sexy by RHCP has entire lines cut out. Not just words, but entire sentences. There are verses that are almost completely missing due to the ridiculously explicit lyrical content.
