Toto! I absolutely love them, but I bummed that we won't get "Africa" or "Hold The Line".

Oingo Boingo are slightly meh. I'll buy it, but I could live without.

Oingo!

Boingo!

[CanuckGamer]

Good back-up choice for Toto.

Yea! Been waiting 5 years for Toto.

Awesome songs!

Getting both.

Good ones.

Not sure what I think yet of this DLC.

[Henry_Sardonicus]

Oingo Boingo is a must buy, though Dead Man's Party would've been amazing. I'll have to listen to Toto.

[Mr. Tate]

Great news about Toto!
