I'm guessing that if HMX had the pick of his catalogue, that the choices would have been different. Pope noted during the Blitz run-up that they were limited to what they had access to.
Considering we're Year 6 and this is the first Elton DLC...two is better than zero. So improvement!

Saw "Elton" before clicking the link. Made a list of 3 songs in my mind that I'd hope for. None of them are here... I understand some of his older songs being unavailable, but we had to get a double of an Elton John song??? We couldn't get something else from the 80's? Someone Saved My Life Tonight? Hell I'd even take Dont Go Breaking My Heart. Now I can't even get the pack. Will probably be picking up DLTSGDOM, but that's pretty much it. Pretty weak for Elton selections.
I don't like the tracks, and no pro guitar means I care even less if that's possible.
Wait... you mean HMX is offering up a song that we previously had to pay $15 to get?!?!
Don't they know that EVERY SINGLE ROCK BAND PLAYER bought Blitz... even those with a Wii?!?!
INSANITY!
(Future recommendation: It may curb some of the angst if there were three new songs...).
For the first time in years, I feel bad for not knowing a song ("The ***** is back") off the top of my head. These are likely.

Would have bought the pack, but since I have Blitz I guess there's no point in that, so it's effectively singles anyway. I'll be getting “The ***** is Back” and checking out “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”
Weird way to construct a pack - aimed specifically at Elton John fans who didn't get Blitz. Seems like a small target audience....
I'm not sure what's more of a bummer: that "I'm Still Standing" is part of the pack, or that there's no "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding." Still, I'll be picking up the two new songs, and good for the Wii users/people who didn't already get Blitz.
Big artist, but just not the songs I would have picked, obviously. If we had to have "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me", I would have much preferred the George Michael duet version. Still good songs, but, running low on space, so I am not sure if I am getting these.

Well.....I will buy the two non Blitz songs....but come on. There are other better Elton John songs! This needed to be bigger than a 3-Pack, especially with one already released in the last few months in Rock Band!
No Tiny Dancer?? Rocket Man? I Guess That's Why The Call It The Blues? Don't Go Breaking My Heart??
