DLC Discussion Thread Week of 10/9: Singles from Billy Squier & A Flock of Seagulls!

[RockBandand24Fanatic]

My theory is that HMX wanted to release three 80s songs this week. This isn't the first time they've mixed and matched and then released more from previous artists. (See Tears for Fears.)

The bigger question to me is, where is Somebody Told Me by The Killers? They have pretty much everything else by them.

Ummm not even close. We have 4 Killers songs, all big hits, but besides Somebody Told Me, we could still use All These Things that I Have Done, Jenny was a Friend of Mine, Read my Mind, Bones, Sam's Town, Human, Runaways etc.
Speaking of which, the Killers need a 2nd DLC pack, been way to long:
Somebody Told Me
All These Things that I Have Done
Read My Mind
Runaways

I'm probably overgeneralizing a bit, but rock music belongs in Rock Band, dance music belongs in Dance Central. "Whip My Hair" is one of my favourite songs to play in Dance Central, but that doesn't mean it would be any fun to play in Rock Band. There are some songs I'd like to see cross over, but getting them wouldn't be any different from what little overlap there already is.

Two things:

(1) "Rock music belongs in Rock Band, dance music belongs in Dance Central" sounds suspiciously like "This isn't Country/Prog/Rap/Reggae/Blah Blah Band, it's Rock Band".

(2) We're saying the same thing. I said "moving some of those DC tracks ro RB" is the same as "There are some songs I'd like to see cross over", it is not? The only difference seems to be connotation.

First week in awhile that I'm not only super-stoked about at least one song offered, but genuinely looking forward to the entire offering. "I Ran" got a woo-hoo from me and "The Stroke" was worthy of a buy as well. Had to watch the video to remember what "Everybody Wants You" sounded like, but once I heard it, it was "oh hell yeah, getting that one too!"

Finally! Some great DLC! Here is hoping for "Man Made" and some more a-ha?

Best week this year.

Cannot wait for those keys on Flock of Seagulls

My theory is that the Billy Squire songs have some crazy licensing restrictions and believe the week we only got Drive by Incubus was the original week we were supposed to get these but they had to be taken down due to complications.

The issue with this is that it's a regular sized week. If this was supposed to be alongside Drive, suddenly two songs from this week were pushed further ahead to make room for them, yeah?

This is an EPIC week!

I always manage to find something to buy between DLC and RBN every week, but I am actually excited for these three songs and am looking forward to Tuesday!!!

Thank you HMX for these great songs!

awesome week, buying all three

Hmmm, I suspected no one even remembered Billy at this point, much less Seagulls. Buying all of it
