From the RBN to your iTunes

[TubaDude49]

I feel stupid for forgetting. RBN exposed me to Flogging Molly, after which I quickly purchased Float

[NoThru22]

I want Scream Ceremony by Order of the Crimson Wizard, but you can't download or purchase it anywhere.

This! If anyone knows where I can buy that song, I'd love you forever.

Well I just bought Halcyon Way's Building the Towers. So add them to the list.

Jukebox the Ghost
Ultra Saturday
Halcyon Way's

I might buy their new album too, since it's only 6 bucks on iTunes.

I do listen to Stephanie Hatfield's album on occasion. There's Rodrigo y Gabriela too but I did know them already before RBN.

There have been instances where quite a few bands I've first found on RBN got some album airtime, but hardly do I ever come back for them (Free Spirit, Amberian Dawn, Bornholm). My main source for discovering music isn't Rock Band on RBN, at least not anymore.

But yeah, Stephanie Hatfield and Hot Mess was the only gold nugget that came solely from RBN.

[NoThru22]

I, of course, have all of Amberian Dawn's albums from iTunes, typos and all. I have Nothing More's song Fat Kid along with a few others.

My list (besides the ones I've worked with personally) looks like... Parry Gripp, Dillinger Escape Plan, Ronald Jenkees.

I've only recently started to realize the potential for RBN as a music discovery tool (around the time they sorted new releases by genre in the main forum's thread ) But I got Jukebox the Ghost's album from there, dug on that quite a bit. Also, I didn't splurge on the whole album, and I already had Super Villain and Show Me What You've Got, but when TAG listed the Powerman 5000 tracks they were authoring, I looked up Do Your Thing. And after seeing the video for Time Bomb, I kinda want that too. I don't know, I think the samples—even with 90 seconds on the iTunes Store now—just don't do the songs justice sometimes. Either that or the note highways are secretly hypnotic.

Prior to that, though, it was just an avenue to get stuff I already liked (Apples in Stereo, Hold Steady, Kay Hanley, JoCo, etc.)

[TheStuddz]

Well, I listened to The Shins, OK Go and Band of Horses before RBN. But I listened to them more after they came to the game.

RBN did introduce me to Jukebox the Ghost, though, and I am very grateful for that.

Either that or the note highways are secretly hypnotic.

That's probably more true than you know. Seeing a song broken down into its component parts like you do in Rock Band gives a deeper kind of appreciation for the composition of each part, which can make a song appeal to you in ways other than just the sound.
