If you're buying for party mode, go with the Billy Joel pack. EVERYBODY knows those songs. They may not be the highest challenge (except on keys) but they are fun.

Game so needs "Tommy the Cat."

I wouldn't buy a game I didn't really care for just because of a few songs I happen to like. Doesn't seem like it'd be worth the money.

(NOTE: I do not like Linkin Park, but I'd feel the same...

Thinking the same thing. Such an amazing song.

If I were putting together 12 songs --

Actually, before I get to the list, I'm really torn on "Piano Man." It's become Joel's defining song,...

It depends. Are there anchovies on the pizza? That would totally spoil it for me.

Do you have the Wii version?

While I generally agree with this, I think the version of "Magic Bus" currently available is going to be downright impossible to pick up easily. Moon goes absolutely bonkers at parts of that song,...

Cannibal & The Headhunters would like a word with you...

No, but those are screaming to be updated just for the harmony/duet aspect of the songs.

Here is what I would do if I was Harmonix:

1) Give update preference to those songs that have heavy...

For some pretty tough guitar parts, grab Texas Flood. Stevie Ray Vaughn was The Man. Most of the drumming was pretty easy on that one (except for Rude Mood, which is indeed, rude). But the guitar...

And Fogerty wasn't allowed to perform those songs live until a few years ago. I'd say the odds of these being live tracks are slim.

Ye gods, YES!

According to one of the various interviews with Teasdale, it will.

The master version DLC for "Run To The Hills" is far superior to the cover they used in RB1, so you're not losing too much.

I'd also recommend getting the master version of Tom Sawyer and deleting...

These are excellent questions I would love to see the answers to.

More and more companies are going to put these codes inside new games to help prevent used game sales because the developers make $0 off of them. BioWare has been doing that with "free" DLC codes...

I'll have to check this out when I'm not wasting time at work, but I'm a huge fan of Ska and Ska-Core, so any time this genre can get in the game I'm happy.

The Cold Goodnight -- Give -- what a thoroughly fun and awesome song this is. I'd love to see more from this band on RBN. I'd never heard of them before this and they were a very pleasant...

That will be an instant purchase once it becomes available. Totally awesome.
