Official Discussion: DLC Week of 11/20: 6 Singles Spanning 6 Decades!

Everything except Dragonforce for me, but having seen the chart, I might get it at some point - just not right away.

Great week!

[BruceDickinson]

Great week HMX! Lots of win in those song choices! I'll be picking up 4 of 6 for sure.

Awesome week. I remember "Cold" from some Mx vs. ATV game on PS2. Oh, and from the leak "The Weight (Live)" is from Rock of Ages, like the others The Band songs already in the shop. The tiers were:
Guitar 4, Bass 4, Drums 2, Keys 2, Vocals 2, Pro Keys 3, 3-Part Harmonies and of course it's Classic Rock.

Anyway, well written review, but I'd hardly refer to the Allman Brothers as a one hit wonder.
Billboard has also always been a big deal. Remember Casey Kasem's American Top 40 back in the 60's and on up? Maybe not....you might be too young.

ACK! I meant that comment to be directed towards Modern English, not the Allman Brothers. As I mentioned, I was moving stuff around quite a bit.

And I am not old enough to say honestly that I watched Casey Kasem. I'm a bit less enthused about Billboard back in the day due to folks like Jimi Hendrix not getting a lot of burn on the charts back then.

EDIT: And though I stand by my predictions, I'll hedge my bets and say I may be wrong on "Cry Thunder". I based its placing off of "Operation Ground and Pound", which, at around a place of 690 or so, is pretty good. So, I may be wrong on it not selling that much, but I'm not yet convinced enough to move my placements around.

I saw Casey Kasem cameo on a couple episodes of Saved By the Bell

Exited for Jessica, I Melt With You, Closer, and especially Cold.

Great songs this week. Definitely getting "The Weight", "I'll Melt With You", "Jessica" and "Cry Thunder".

"Cold" is ok too.

[Foos036]

Jessica + Pro and Closer are day 1 purchases. The Band, Modern English, and possibly Crossfade are future purchases. Dragon Force...pass, but I'm sure it made a lot of metalheads happy.

I agree that most Dragon Force songs sound nearly identical to one another, but this one does sound a bit different, as a few people have already pointed out.

Thanks. I just dug up my "Rock of Ages" CD to check myself. The snippet in the Rock Band demo video sounds like this version.

After the licensing hell of this one, I won't hold my breath for "Up on Cripple Creek", or "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", or "The Shape I'm In", but the versions of those on that album are good.

Great week of DLC, probably my favorite of the year.

I think Modern English is being underestimated in these sales order lists, given how well 80s one hit wonders traditionally sell.
