In Your Opinion: The Best of RBN 2.0 (So Far)

[queuemark]

Rock Band Network has been in 2.0 mode for more than 3 months now, and some great tracks have been released.

I've really been enjoying reliable pro drums, vocal harmonies, and some of the funnest pro keys charts available in the platform. Here are some of the tracks with RBN 2.0 features that I've especially dug:

-Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee) A great way to kick off RBN 2.0. Silly and fun on keys.

-Anamanaguchi - Airbrushed What's a chiptune? I didn't know until I heard this great "instrumental"

-Quartered - Africa (RB3 Version) Great song, and deserved its pro drums update (now where's my updated Scale the Summit?)

-the Walkmen - Angela Surf City Technically no RBN 2.0 features 'sides pro drums. Still, great tune. Moar Walkmenz, plz!

-Ultra Saturday - Dawn of the Condoms I initially disregarded this song due to the ridiculous title, but it's fantastic! Like a catchier and less annoying Blink 182. And that bass solo at the end is hysterical. Zombies Are Coming Out Tonight is great too.

-Drugstore Fanatics - Hangman Not a lot of RBN 2.0 features, but just an amazing sounding song. I listened to it like 8 times in a row.

-the Pauses - Go North Great alterna-pop song in the vein of Rilo Kiley or maybe Metric. Easy but enjoyable on keys.

-the Motion Sick - 30 Lives Sweet and goofy song about the infamous Konami code. Very polished and sincere for a song that could easily have been mired in video game referencing goofiness.


Well, that's what I've purchased so far from RBN 2.0. What fantastic songs have you discovered since the update?


[Note: Ultra Saturday, Drugstore Fanatics, and Motion Sick are only buck apiece! Check 'em out!]

My favorite songs are "Trying Hard" by Loni Rose, "The Window" by Raven Quinn, "Good Things" by Hella Donna, and "Fallen Into You" by Kings Queens & Fairytales. I'm a drummer first (guitarist second), so keys and harmonies mean very little to me, just comes down to how much I like the song(s).

[SeymourDuncan17]

Eh. I'm not getting the extreme love for 30 Lives. At all.

Anywho...

Dawn of the Condoms - Ultra Saturday (The song that got me wanting to check out the band and they're awesome. Clever, fun song.)

Rocket Car - Robotmakers (We could always use more New Wave, which I have a huge soft spot for. "It's not safe, but hey, it's a rocket car!")

Empire - Jukebox the Ghost (This is the first time I've ever boughten a CD from a RBN band and I do not regret it in the slightest. This particular song is so amazingly good. Catchy, lovable vocals and very fun keys.)

Prototype Death Machine - Bonded In Blood (I actually bought this over Betus Blues today because it just sounded so fun. Sadly, the guitar chart is pretty annoying, at least atm, but the song is so awesome I just don't care. Haven't enjoyed a metal jam from the RBN this much since probably Demon Hunter's Collapsing.)

The only RBN 2.0 songs I've bought so far are "Better Off This Way" and "Burning Hearts". Those are both pretty good.

One track is Diachylon by Chaotrope, but IMO there was some good Amberian Dawn and Blackguard released when RBN became 2.0.

[MagicMurderBag7]

My favorites so far have been:

Zombies!! (Coming Out Tonight) - Ultra Saturday: Only a buck and has 2 great key solos and an all around great song.

Fight For Greatness - Bloom: again only a buck and super fun on pro-keys. I hope we get more from this band.

Empire - Jukebox the Ghost: I agree with everything SeymourDuncan17 said. All of the songs they have on the RBN are great but this is the best one.

You Will Leave A Mark - A Silent Film: All around awesome song

Pac-Man Fever - Buckner and Garcia: Who says the RBN doesn't have any 80's cheese.

[Zorrki]

From what's released on PS3 I'd have to say Airbrushed.

Some of the songs I think are the best of all time from the RBN2.0:

"Schizophrenia" by Jukebox the Ghost
All of the JtG songs are great listens and plays, but this one is exceptionally fun to play.

"Veil of Illumination" by Andromeda
Very difficult but very awesome on every instrument

"Dreamchaser" by Amberian Dawn
Awesome guitar/keys duel

"Bed Intruder Song" by the Gregory Brothers
duh

"Curse of the Werewolf" by Timeless Miracle
I wasn't really sure when I bought it, but it is now one of my favorite songs to play

"Chameleon Carneval" by Andromeda
A great instrumental for every instrument (except vocals, of course)

[CJHobbes]

All of Amberian Dawn, plus "Trying Hard" by Loni Rose and "Curse of the Werewolf" by Timeless Miracle.

[LunaticSoul]

Fight For Greatness - Bloom, amazing song. Can't wait to play the Harmonies..And that drum part, ahhhhhwwww.

Veil of Illumination - Andromeda, this song is just..Aehm, random. That's what we love about these stereotyped typical Prog-Power groups.

Airbrushed - Anamanaguchi, this song is so full of chiptune-win. Wow.

So far, I've been loving RBN2, and there is more Prog glory on its way (Rishloo, more TesseracT/Andromeda, Vangough..), though I'm on PS3 so I have to wait more
