Official Discussion Thread: DLC Week of 12/6 - Queen 9 Pack!

[Meat-Popsicle]

Of all the Rock Band tracks for Queen, how many made the top 10 on the pop charts? How many were never singles?

Category 2 is one definition of a "deep cut". The ones that aren't in category 1, well, I'm really surprised how many people here seem to know and love them all anyway. That was a loooong time ago that they were on the charts. I had no idea that there were so many massive Queen fans, and / or RB players that are even older than I am. Or maybe it's only that those are the people speaking out in these forums.

Or maybe Queen was much, much bigger in the UK, and that's where the most enthusiatic members are from?

"Greatest rock band ever"? I mean, yeah, they are pretty good, but I usually hear answers like The Beatles or Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin ... I don't remember ANY poll calling them the greatest ever.

And i disagree with Led Zeppelin even being close to greatest band ever.. but see we all have opinions.

And now about the pack

I LOVE YOU HARMONIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :')!

I hope the sound quality of this pack is excellent. The 2011 remaster of Radio Ga Ga on CD played on my setup makes my room windows shake! I want that when I play the song on Rock Band.

Omg!!

It's not quite that clear cut. The Rolling Stone's "Under My Thumb" was never a single and never charted; it's one of the bands most popular songs, has been included on practically every Stones compilation album, and has been regularly performed live throughout their career.

As for whether or not Queen are "the greatest rock band of all time"; does a band have to be the "greatest" to be worth getting excited over? I wouldn't consider Queen a favorite, but I'm very excited to play the upcoming songs in Rock Band. I'd certainly hate to mold my taste in music after Rolling Stone magazine.

Besides, reader polls are rarely worth much.

Not a huge Queen fan but when my 2 fav songs from a band are released as DLC (like in this case) I am very happy. Now for the "Deep Cuts" debate: The only song that I don't remember getting at least a rotation slot on the radio(even if it was a brief stay in rotation) is "Long Away" . When " Bicycle Race and Radio Ga Ga" were released back in the day they got so much airplay that I got tired of them real quick, And since most of the people on here were not even alive when these songs were released and with the demise of 'classic rock' stations on the radio today, how could they know some of these songs?

[Pitch-Black]

Congrats! Queen fans! Unfortunately, I've never cared much for them, so nothing for me this week (except a couple decent RBN tracks). I just want opinionate about the whole "this band is or isn't deserving of a 9 pack" or "don't we have enough of band X?". IMO ANY band willing to give 9 songs to HMX (regardless of how much or little may be already in the game) is "deserving". And, if your a big fan of a band, there can't ever be "too much" by them. I have the entire Great Wall of Green Day and would not mind at all if that wall got larger. Why not a Great Wall of Queen for those who dig them? Too much? Never!

Holy ****ing **** :0 must get MS points naaaaaaaaaaaaao!!!!!!!!!11 >_<

[FlyGuyLXI]

This is the 9-pack... more from a band we already have tons of.

You are now officially dead to me Rock Band.

[Heavens_Saint]

Three songs for me, and that's it. I didn't want anymore Queen for DLC, but I'll take Stone Cold Crazy, Radio Ga Ga, and Don't Stop Me Now.
