Awesome Songs You Discovered Thanks to the Sale

[queuemark]

If you're anything like me, you've taken full advantage of the sale to make a dent in your DLC backlog. I've kept a running list of older songs that I'm interested in, and typically buy one or two older tracks every time I get a points card.

And yet, with songs selling for a buck a pop, I found myself taking a chance on a lot of songs I wouldn't have bought at the higher price point: songs that sounded intriguing from a brief preview; songs that made an album display as sorted; deeper cuts I didn't know that had cool looking charts.

Some of those songs turned out to be totally and unexpectedly awesome. If not for the sale, I probably never would have gotten:

the Grateful Dead - Sugar Magnolia, China Cat Sunflower, and several deep cuts. -- previously I only had Uncle John's Band and Touch of Grey. I was thrilled at how fun a lot of these songs are on drums.

Children of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet? -- I'm not usually into songs with this sort of vocals, but it was catchier and more melodic than I expected.

Nirvana - School and Blew from the Bleach Pack -- Previously I only had About a Girl, and thought the other songs were unremarkable. I gave 'em a shot and they've steadily grown on me.

Motorhead - Killed by Death and We Are the Road Crew -- I've always loved Ace of Spades but never gave these two a shot. Both excellent.

Otis Redding - I've Got Dreams to Remember -- I've actually loved this song for a long time, I just never could bring myself to buy it, since drums are my instrument of choice. Now, at a dollar, it was an easy call, and I may even take a crack at singing it some day.

No Doubt - the Climb -- I mostly got this so that it could team up with Happy Now? and the title track to sort Tragic Kingdom. Like many of the No Doubt songs, it ended up being surprisingly fun on drums.

So has anyone else made any great DLC discoveries they owe to the sale? Share yours and let Harmonix know their diabolical plan to sell virtual goods for (slightly less) money is a success!

Mr. Brightside by The Killers, I suppose. I'e only bought a few songs since I usually keep up with the DLC. But I had heard this one on the radio a lot, and finally figured out who it was and that it was also on RB.

Pretty fun song for a guitarist. Drums are cool too.

The Smiths - This Charming Man. I got this with the last 200 points I had, on good authority from the forum members here and I couldn't be happier. One of the best guitar parts I've ever played.

The Stone Roses - Love Spreads. I didn't even know this existed till someone bought it up here. One more from the world tour list

Metallica - Ride The Lightening. I find devil tiered guitar parts more fun to play at the moment. This one gave a run for my money, really challenging.

The Jam - A Town Called Malice. Recognised it from playing the song, not from the title. Just like the smiths, found the guitar part to be a lot of fun.

Pearl Jam - Ten (Complete album). This was one I wanted to complete for a while, but waited for it to go on sale... And it did! Amazing songs on here. My favourites that I picked up were Black, Garden and Jeremy. I already had Once, Even Flow and Alive.

These are just some that I bought, some great songs me thinks!

The Used -Blood on My Hands
STYX-Blue Collar Man(Long Nights)
Reo Speedwagon-Roll With The Changes

[Groudon199]

Judas Priest - Fever
Eagles of Death Metal - I Only Want You
Wolfmother - White Unicorn
OneRepublic - Stop and Stare

The Wolfmother song is the only one I "discovered". The others were either GH DLC as well or ones I've always been on the fence about.

The Decemberists- Perfect Crime #2
-Really catchy song, and i'm not really a fan of this band, but this one's got an INCREDIBLE drum chart at parts and a great guitar part as well.
Alphabeat- Fascination
-I kind of remembered this one from Band Hero, and recalled it was catchy. Didn't realize it had such a great guitar part though, it's challenging but not frustrating at all; the kind of guitar part I excel at.

[Witticus]

Kula Shaker, X, Eels, The Raveonettes, Poni Hoax, Swingin' Utters, and many many many more.

[Vegeduck]

Alright, you've lost me, how did the sale get you into Poni Hoax and Swingin' Utters?

[Witticus]

Woops, I thought this was thanks to Rock Band. The sale introduced me to nothing really, as I've been keeping track and listening to things Rock Band provided for years.

Judas Priest - Fever
Eagles of Death Metal - I Only Want You
Wolfmother - White Unicorn
OneRepublic - Stop and Stare
