20. Quartered - "Africa" [RhythmAuthors] [80msp]

Yay! I have all of these!

I did get Mayday Parade even with the $3 price tag because I like the song and because it is the only song with that price (at least until EMI gets some songs in), so I am willing to pay extra at least once for a song I like.

Also, I am really glad "Lady in a Blue Dress" is doing well! Hopefully this means the label will put more songs on RBN!

And on the contrary list, these are the songs I don't have!

[S1ckH4nds]

Thanks for breaking this down, Tony!

I did, however, notice that Texas in July's "Elements" was not listed above. That song has actually sold more copies than "Hook, Line & Sinner" to date, so it was a bit weird to see it omitted.

that was actually my bad! fixed thanks for the heads up!

Its depressing to see the top charts dominated so readily by the bigger name or more familiar name bands available to date on RBN. You kinda hope a handful of the indie bands will really rise to prominence with it but as suspected people are generally only buying what they know and giving the rest a miss (which is even more depressing give each song has a free one minute demo they can try if they can be bothered).

Even the small bands generally going out for half the price of the bigger bands has done them little favour as that chart is also overly dominated by songs bought for the normal 160 MSP. Of the 80MSP bands in there some little Bang Camaro and Skindred are already established bands anyway (but yay for both of them as they are awesome)

[Bront20]

Although Keldon's site counts any scores at all, no matter what instrument or difficulty.

If you can get on the leaderboard (which is only really a problem with on disc songs).

Established mainstream bands are established mainstream bands for a reason, people like their music. It's only natural that their songs outsell most of the "indie" (The more I deal with that term, the more I dislike it) or lesser known bands.

That said, until I hear Semi-Charmed Life, on my PS3, I'm not likely getting it despite liking the song. All the videos sound like the vocals are almost inaudible. Only song I'm really itching for is Push Push, because Bang Camero is awesome (I've never owned the old GH games, so it's not nostalgia).

Are you surprised? Asking people to step out of there comfort zone is a losing proposition in life

I've seen said videos and for whatever reason I feel they all exaggerate the audio level issues compared to the sound on my home system.
