Simon & Garfunkel for the WIN!

I got so nervous when I saw a (XBox360/PS3 only, because even though I'm a PS3 player, no one deserves to miss out on the glory of those guys!)

Will be picking up the Slipknot pack. Thanks HMX.

[Rockox]

Wow, never saw that one coming. Simon & Garfunkel all the way, though it would've been fun to implement the harmonies feature (RB3?) for those tunes. Either way, I'm picking up the S&G tunes for sure. Thanks HMX.

[RainbowMist]

That was random, Well played HMX

[The_Sailerman]

Possibly the Simon & Garfunkel tracks, but definitely the FREE Lights Resolve track!

So much for the guitar Hero folks saying that Slipknot doesn't want anything to do with music games.

Good variety!

My nephew is going to plox when he sees Slipknot.

Um...that's one weird combination. But hooray for Simon and Garfunkel.
