DLC Discussion Thread: Week of 12/11 - Toadies 3 Pack, including Possum Kingdom!

[DragoonXD]

Oh, sorry, I should have explained that better. This band is a mere copy of Pixies, and Weezer is a mere copy of this band. We have a Pixies full album, and a LOT of Weezer songs, so I really don't feel like this band deserved a 3 pack more than many others (QOTSA included, since it's the most famous act among the alternative bands released this year)

I despise both Weezer and The Pixies, yet love this band, so I'm not sure how that works. Whether they deserved a 3-pack or not, I'm excited for it.

Yeah, I'm absolutely not discussing musical tastes of anyone, that's for sure, since every band deserves his spot into the great RB library... I'm just trying to think how is a 3-pack of Toadies better than a 3-pack of QOTSA (or any other band, like Incubus) in sales terms.

Pass again second week in a row, they sound too generic and they seem like they'd be a little boring to play especially on drums and no keys.

I also agree. I've never heard of them at all, and I'm one of the most well-versed in music. This makes the Black Crowes week feel inspired.

But I suppose this is what happens when Harmonix can't afford Eagles (but yet Hotel California has appeared in a Guitar Hero game!), Rolling Stones (1 song is NOT good enough), Aerosmith (1 song is NOT good enough), Journey (2 songs is NOT good enough), Styx (using the concert songs was a lame idea), Foreigner, REO Speedwagon (same as Styx), Elton John, Moody Blues, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, anything with Neil Young in it, anything with Clapton in it (which means Cream, Derek & the Dominoes, and Yardbirds), Stevie Ray, Supertramp, King Crimson, Alan Parsons Project, Animals, BTO, Beach Boys (1 song is not good enough), Bad Company, Bob Seger, Cheap Trick, anything with Phil Collins & Peter Gabriel (which means Genesis), Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Santana, Steely Dan, Talking Heads, Tom Petty, U2...we also need more Chicago and Bowie and Def Leppard and Doobie Brothers and Fleetwood Mac and Heart and Rush and Lynyrd Skynyrd and Pat Benatar.

But kudos to those who actually enjoy modern screamo rock, for some reason, instead of rock with actual melodies. At least I can catch up with older rock packs I haven't bought yet, like Queen and Doors and Billy Joel.

You sir are a genius... if only Harmonix had thought of that! Shame that they have, but for reasons other than money, haven't been able to. Also, we have a few Foreigner songs, a couple Elton (have you noticed we only have them on RB3 and Lego:RB... on-disc tracks are likely a manager/label requirement for him), a whole album of Stevie (Texas Flood), a few Cheap Trick songs (five total, I believe), a couple Bad Company, about 6 Talking Heads songs, a dozen or more Tom Petty/Tom Petty & HB songs, and around 4 Steely Dan songs. I'm not saying that this should fill all of your wildest dreams... what I am saying, is that they are fans like us + they are a company who likes money. If it were/becomes possible, I am sure they would/will do it... even if it's Muse.

Wait.....The Toadies have more than one song?

Maybe getting Possum Kingdom.

[StriderHiryu]

I would have preferred Toad the Wet Sprocket but Possum Kingdom is fun and brings me back to high school.

[c-murph]

Dir En Grey on RBN and Possium Kingdom with Pro Guitar~!?

Makes me wanna squeal like a little girl~!

[jherrjr]

Wow, surprised to see Toadies, more surprised to see Possum Kingdom. Definitely all 3 for me.

[jibjqrkl]

Besides, we got Black Crowes last week, which was good for this classic rock fan.

ehhhh wut?

[StackOverflow0x]

Never heard of them. These slow release weeks really isolate the unknowns longer for me. There's been quite a handful even just recently making me wonder... why now and when did they get so much demand?
