Time to go back to the old 'Songs recently featured on Glee' well.

Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know
Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out
Kelly Clarkson - Cry




Edit: the above posted before I was aware of the Walden hint.

Don Henley has been a vocal supporter of the Walden Woods project:

So if the clue is that direct, we're talking the Eagles or Don Henley.

Don Henley 01:
Dirty Laundry
The Boys of Summer
The End of the Innocence

That Vesuvius song was to promote the movie The Rocker. Anyone else really want a RB3 version of that, or is it just me?

not gonna lie I think it would be cool..

I'll take any three songs off of "Building the Perfect Beast", quite honestly. There was a recent hint about there being more "80's goodness" on the way. "Building the Perfect Beast" is really a quintessential 80's album. Solo Don Henley would be a pretty good get for HMX at this stage in the game, IMO.

Funny, I was going to say I'd take any three songs off "The End of the Innocence". "The Heart of the Matter", "The Last Worthless Evening", and "New York Minute" would be my "Don Henley 02".

It was an 80s album too, though tracks like "All She Wants To Do Is Dance" are more quintessentially 80s, I admit.

Based on HMXHenry's hint, I suspect it's an artist/band that's deceased/defunked. 60's/70's most like?

I know the official release date isn't yet (and the band doesn't really fit the hint IMO), but I'm excpecting to see some new Tenacious D soon. I'd SO want to have Roadie and a few other new songs.

Haha, yes, those albums are both "good" listens and representative of Henley's solo work. I like them both.

I just think that the synth heavy nature of BTPB makes it a little better fit for Rock Band. Any Henley pack which doesn't include "The Boys of Summer" would be a major fail, btw. I'd have to buy a new yellow cymbol for that one.

Geez, I never realized how many notable people played on that album.

ELO would blow some minds.

I listed those three as my Don Henley 02 because "Boys of Summer" was in my Don Henley 01.



ELO's "Mr. Blue Sky" would blow my mind.

Does anybody want the weirdest hint ever?

I thought that was pretty perfect when it came up in the meeting.

Who or what is "TomAssBender" ? Or do I even want to know? :S

Tom is a Business Analyst here at Harmonix. He crunches a bunch of the DLC numbers so we can better tell who is buying what and why. He sees all that sales data, completely stripped of any community reaction so, in a way, it's like he's seeing you naked. How's that for weird.
