Official Discussion: DLC Week of 11/13 - Kenny Loggins & 40+ Green Day tracks

[Hetz]

Thank you so much HMX for listening to us and releasing something new!

Love Kenny Loggins! Getting both....hopefully Danger Zone will come someday.

We could got the themes of two great films today: Footloose and Caddyshack.

Now we're just missing Top Gun.

Also, y no "Return to Pooh Corner"? That's been my favorite Kenny Loggins song since I was two.

Rock Band really rocks these weeks!

Thanks HMX! Appreciate the hard work and the LOGGINS! Those 2 are going to be awesome.

Oh, and RBN will be bringing the St. Elmo's Fire theme as well. It's movie theme week next week!

Also, never heard of Kenny Loggins.

I'm surprised, said no one ever.

Already got GD:RB exported, and unless there's serious clamoring amongst my RB friends, this is a no-go. But judging by the reaction so far, this is another good get. I'm glad those who are stoked get Kenny Loggins. There's a chance I'll grab the Pro upgrades for the two that got them. But probably not "When I Come Around." That song was overplayed so much when it came out, I'm still sick of it, not that it's a bad song.

Thanks again to Harmonix for continuing to release DLC 5 years into the franchise. No matter whether I like it or not, I'm always happy when this streak continues another week.

IT'S FULL OF STARS.

Patiently waiting for my PM to ask me to write a treatise on the excellence of the Log Man for the RB Blog, btw.

[SheSaidSheSaid]

Three full-albums in a week! Wow, Harmonix! You guys are excellent!

21st Century Breakdown is not a full album.

Congrats on managing to work out some Green Day pro upgrades even though the choices were very far from the best imo (If I had to choose 1 from Dookie and 1 from American Idiot of which both were singles, I would have chosen "Longview" and "Jesus of Suburbia").

"Jesus of Suburbia" is 10 minutes long. Give 'em a break.

[hmxhenry]

Will I have to repurchase American Idiot in order to upgrade it?

Also, never heard of Kenny Loggins.

You shouldn't have to buy American Idiot to purchase the Pro upgrade. DLC team worked some magic, so you should be good. Holler if there are any issues come release day.

Also, jealous for your ears to meet Loggins for the first time. He was an 80's soundtrack staple and one of the smoothest dudes on the planet.

21st Century Breakdown remainders are singles-only for Wii. Too big to be a pack?

Not too big to be a pack, just some bizarro Wii store sorting issues preventing us from bundling previous DLC with new DLC to make full album DLC. Each console handles their store stuff different and this is just one of those things.


Also, re: Danger Zone, yes, that is also a song Kenny Loggins recorded. It's an awesome jam and we would have loved to include it with these releases but the masters weren't available. We hunted for them for a good long time and prayed nightly to the Yacht Rock gods, but it wasn't meant to be. I know I, for one, will be enjoying the 2 essential Loggins tracks that we did get. Give them a listen if you're not familiar, then watch Footloose and Caddyshack and your life will be better for it.

No love for "I'm Free (Heaven Helps The Man)"
