10/23 DLC Discussion Thread: Chicago 3-Pack!

[instantdeath999]

Definitely could have made better song choices in my opinion, but glad to see Chicago nonetheless. Make Me Smile should have a very fun drum chart.

Like seeing Chicago, but I don't care for their pre-80's music. Probably will pick up "If You Leave Me Now" but that will be the only one.

• Chicago – “If You Leave Me Now” - Sounded pretty depressing and slow. Dont know if this one will be too fun to play on guitar / drums. I think they could have chosen a better one than this to be the third song in the pack.

It will almost assuredly be the bestseller of the three, and for that reason alone I can't imagine them choosing a 'better' song. They are still in the business of making money.

So I guess the dude who investigated the "hog butcher" clue in hmxhenry's post was right after all, this is pretty cool. Feelin' Stronger Every Day is a no-brainer pick for a Chicago pack (I'd say the same for If You Leave Me Now if it wasn't for it's tempo). Kinda surprised Saturday in the Park wasn't in this pack instead of Make Me Smile though.

Anyways, it's a decent week but I'll be skipping as I already have the one Chicago song I really needed.

Saturday in the Park is sung by Robert Lamm, Make Me Smile is sung by Terry Kath. Chicago had 3 lead singers that shared the load pretty evenly in the early days, Peter Cetera just happens to be the most recognizable singer from the band.

Fair enough that you don't like the music (I don't care much for a lot of this year's DLC), but to say the instrumentation is nonexistent on MMS and FSED is ridiculous.

Make Me Smile got green for me because the instruments weren't a total snoozefest like the other two songs. Oh well.

Quit comparing their songs to 25 or 6 to 4.

No.

"Make Me Smile" is great. The other two are fine. These would not have been my first three song choices, but this is still a fantastic pack! Thanks, Harmonix!

Yeah that's how I'm seeing it. It's Matchbox 20 all over again. Cool band but not the tracks I would have picked. Having a Chicago pack without Saturday in the Park is like having a Matchbox 20 pack without 3AM.

I have 998 songs in my RB library. I was wondering which artist would crack the 1k mark. Chicago wins! Will get all 3. "If You Leave Me Now" may not be the best song as far as drums or guitar go but, this game is about singing as well, and that will be a great song for vocalists. Thanks HMX!

So we got more Elton John and more Chicago.

Now all we need is more Meatloaf and more Beach Boys.

Music for old guys to get laid to.
