Rick Astley! Yessssss!
I'm also glad that Every Rose Has It's Thorn came out. I know a lot of people wanted it to come out.

Also, never heard of Mr. Big o:

OH AND FIRST POST! OH YEAH!!!!!!!

[CanuckGamer]

Not bad, not bad at all.

[dog037]

Mr. Big is the best one!

[KaneRobot]

Disappointing result but not surprising so no big deal. The songs to supplement it are pretty solid though. Good week.

[xtodd007]

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

edit: I actually like the Heart song. rickroll still pisses me right off.......what's worse is I know I'll get it all and I'll have to sing the f'ing song all the time because I have a rule not to veto anything someone else picks.

[CamoTC]

Every link featured in Henry's post leads to a RickRoll.

Well done.

[drhans]

SO GOOD. Buying everything. Seven weeks straight, wooooooooo.

[T-Hybrid]

Called. It.

And with that said, I will likely end up buying the pack...since I want "Every Rose", Mr. Big, and the Rick Roll.

excellent all around!
