whats the big deal with releasing green day?

[Riffrockrat]

I think Green Day is a great band, and I am familiar with and like their radio hits. I am not, however, a fan of the band, per se. I don't have albums, I don't know or really want to know their deep cuts. More importantly, I play songs using the tour themed setlists or party shuffle. Either way, I do not want over 40 songs from one band skewing the RNG that bad (AC/DC is already a bit annoying at times, when a 90s setlist comes up in tour). And as great as Green Day is, I do not want every other song, or whatever, to be a Green Day song. I will be cherry picking three songs from them (to add to the two I had from the earlier packs), and that is sufficient Green Day representation for my setlist.

I think it is a great, read, option for some people. Thank you, Harmonix.

Edit P.S. Yes, I am aware Green Day has had more than five radio hits. I just chose my particular favorites.

1. There are likely more people who would want to cherry-pick what they like than buy a whole game for a few songs. 2. Blitz. 3. It raises the available DLC albums by three, raises available DLC by 40+. 4. Because Green Day is big and will still sell as DLC even though the game is available (not too convenient to get ahold of, though, especially new). 5. Because they want to and because Green Day wants them to.

Well, they've been around since 1987. Been recording since '89. Are going to reach that twenty-five year threshold for the RRHoF and will definitely be 'enshrined'.

So yeah, not really that big.
