Best Songs You Can Buy For 80MSP/$1

[MagicMurderBag7]

I vouch for Drunken Lullabies. I hate the title of the song, but it's really sweet


Rainbowdragoneyes - "Creatures ov Deception"
Video preview
Genre: Other
Tiers:
Guitar - 5
Vocals - 2
Drums - 5
Bass - 4
Band - 6

It's awesome. All there needs to be said about it.
Rock Band 3 version is coming out soon, but it's still technically a dollar and still technically worth the purchase at the time of writing
(The video preview doesn't have the whole song, just the Authoring preview of it. I couldn't find a full band play of the full song. If that's a problem, then sorry)

I would add it but if a RB3 version is on the way then i don't want to recommend getting one with less features.

Totally understandable!

A Wilhelm Scream - Skid Rock

Genre: Hardcore Punk
Tiers:
Guitar - 5
Vocals - 3
Drums - 5
Bass - 5
Band - 6

This track has a high tempo and very active instrumentation throughout while having a unique sound for the Rock Band Network. The charts are accurate without detracting from quality and playability. Plainly put, people looking for a challenge will enjoy this song.

Sorry guys, no time to look up tiers, but here's two that I had to mention:

Van Friscia - "Epic Symphony in A Flat Minor, Third Movement: Zero Hour"

This song might not have any vocals, but it's one of the most fun songs I know on just about every other instrument. The keys part is hard but not impossible, and incredibly varied, and there are some great noodling guitar solos in there as well.

Marillion - "Whatever Is Wrong With You"

An oldie (it was one of the first RBN 1.0 songs) but a goodie from a band that is in my personal top three of favorite bands of all time. Nothing above tier four if I recall correctly, but it has a nice varied guitar track with a gorgeous Rothery solo at the end, and drums, bass and vocals all fall into the 'not too hard, but still a lot of fun' category as well. All in all a great warm-up track.

Adding db and Blackberry

if its not to much trouble BohemianMatt, could you list the tiers and genre the way that i have them in the OP. It would make it much easier for me to add.

OK.

[MagicMurderBag7]

Added all but the Surfer Blood songs.
I need two separate "Notes"

Also if you are going to recommend RBN1 songs try to let me know if they have proper pro-drums or not.

Edit: I added PS3 availability. Super surprised to find that neither Freezepop song made it over.

A Wilhelm Scream - Skid Rock has pro drums, so you can add a note to it.

[SheSaidSheSaid]

I find your lack of Hangman disturbing. Great song that's fun and just challenging enough on guitar/bass. I don't know about drums.

Here's a video

[NoThru22]

Done by Giraffes and both Surfers Blood songs have pro drums.

well, the third movement from Van Friscia really dissapointed me, i was hopping for something more epic, when i first heard the first movement i was like WHAAT, the second movement was even more epic than the first one, so i was really hyped about the third one, but when i played i was a little dissapointed, i dunno, it was like he tryied to mix the rhytm and/or sounds from the first two and slowing down the tempo of the songs.. IMO
