I will be pumped if "Seventeen" returns, just to give me another check off of the "Rock The 80's" setlist.
"Heaven Is A Place On Earth" should be hype too.

Blurred Lines and Nicki Minaj are fucking awful choices.
The rest are okay though. Down for Winger, Heart and Belinda.

Was just thinking a couple days ago about how weird it was Blurred Lines wasn't in Rock band yet lol.
Yes! Been one of my requests forever! Was always hoping for a 3-pack, but this will work.
Please be actual separated steams!!!! I want to buy this real bad, but I'm sticking to my guns on not buying any of these flattened tracks. I pretty much have a bad feeling about any of the 90s songs coming out.
I hate so much after waiting so long for the song that I have to wait and see if this supports the gameplay features properly.

All aboard! The Love train!
Are we finally getting Crazy on You?!
If we get obvious picks like that, Seventeen, If You Could Only See, this is a good month of DLC.

So, what's everyone's predictions for the rest of the unnanounced songs? Mine are:
The Barbazons - "Bad Catholics" (Previously Free DLC for signing up for a website)
Belinda Carlisle - "Heaven Is A Place On Earth"
Heart - "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You"
Jason Mraz - "I'm Yours"
Niki Minaj - "Whip It"(Dance Central repeat)
Tonic - "If You Could Only See"
Vertical Horion - "Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)"
Winger - "Seventeen"
The Barbazons - "Bad Catholics" (Previously Free DLC for signing up for a website)
Belinda Carlisle - "Heaven Is A Place On Earth"
Heart - "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You"
Jason Mraz - "I'm Yours"
Niki Minaj - "Whip It"(Dance Central repeat)
Tonic - "If You Could Only See"
Vertical Horion - "Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)"
Winger - "Seventeen"
Vertical Horizon has to be Everything you Want.
This may be a case where they had legit masters issues, but since relaxing their standards, they're releasing it :/

Good news, I'm getting both tomorrow morning, so I'll have a report on the stems before you probably even wake up!
Always appreciated.
Awaiting anxiously. This is the song where I'll be most bummed if not.

Don't forget the songs that rank higher on the billboard then either of those songs:
"Tell It Like It Is"
"These Dreams"
"All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You"
"Never"
"Who Will You Run To"
My money's on "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You" personally.

Sweet! I'll request some songs from NSP, Steel Panther, & Patterns. (Specifically 'Born in NYC', Party Tomorrow Like It's The End Of The World', & 'Give Us The Love'.)

Yeah, with Get Lucky already being in the game and Happy coming with the expansion, it makes sense that Blurred Lines would show up at some point as well to complete the modern Pharrell trifecta.
Heart has to be Crazy On You or Magic Man and I'm gonna say it now: it won't have proper masters.
Mr. Jones is awesome, gonna buy that one.
And finally, yuck @ Nicki Minaj and Jason Mraz.
EDIT: I gotta wonder though why the hell Harmonix is so hellbent on releasing all these pop tracks lately. I was never one to complain about the lack of genre (or decade) diversity, but this is getting really weird. There hasn't been a month this year without at least one major pop single with hardly any guitar in it, yet more traditional rock genres are getting forgotten.
For instance, hasn't been a proper metal track in ages. I probably wouldn't buy it since I find most metal terrible, but that the last even kinda hard track (in sound, not difficulty) was some recent Five Finger Death Punch song is superweird.

It sells well, has been their answer for the pop music.
Heart is either Magic Man or Crazy on You. Rock Revolution's cover of Magic Man was probably the only recognizable cover the game had...

(and if you're not sure, compare it to their cover of Chop Suey.....)

barf, blurred lines.
only good thing to come from that song is weird al's word crimes.
looking at the image for this month I likely can check out this month. I can't imagine there will be a release worth $2 for me with that line up.
I was expecting much worse for chop suey... really that isn't that bad.
to be fair my bar for bad chop suey cover is this

The only two masters Rock Revolution has are Paralyzer by Finger Eleven, which I'm sure the rights to are found in cereal boxes with how many things have it licensed, and Given Up by Linkin Park, which is a Linkin Park song nobody remembers.
edit: also, it's a shame that we aren't getting Word Crimes if Blurred Lines is licensable.

I remember liking Given Up, but it took me YouTube to remember what the song actually is.
I'd definitely buy a pack of Minutes to Midnight tracks seen in other rhythm games. Bleed It Out/Given Up/No More Sorrow. Or at least Bleed It Out.
See, this is the real problem. I don't like blurred lines as a song, but it does have an incredibly catchy tune and Word Crimes is fixes both problems. But of course, getting a parody song without getting the original will probably have a few complaints.
Personally, I hope all these years of DLC are all one long plan to get a big Weird Al pack by the end of the year. September is totally going to have Coolio, Chamilllionaire, Lorde and James Blunt.
I know blurred lines got radio play, but I don't know of a single person who prefers it over word crimes.
just like I don't know a single person who prefers riding dirty over white and nerdy, and that includes the creators of riding dirty as they have said they like white and nerdy better lol.
Unfortunately I think the only way we're getting parodies is like with the Cartman's Poker Face, with the original and the parody coming out at the same time. If Harmonix is building towards an Al megapack though, ain't got no problem with that

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
So I jumped on the $99 Amazon deal for the Band in a Box. Little did I know (and nowhere did the deal say) that it was the region 2 set. Couldn't figure out for the life of me why my DLC wouldn't download.
I almost wonder if Minaj will be Anaconda. We know they were able to license it for Dance Central, PLUS the original Baby Got Back (also for Dance Central), so clearly both are up for being licensed.

Well, it's time for my first playthrough scores, track seperation confirmations, and impressions. Strap yourself in 2n2, I know you desperately want the skinny on the stems for "Mr. Jones"!
Counting Crows - "Mr. Jones"
Expert Guitar: 322,521 | 100% Full combo | Gold Stars | Tier 2
Expert Bass: 134,035 | 100% Full Combo | Gold Stars | Tier 3
Are the tracks seperated?
Brace yourself 2n2.... they are! No muted tracks across the board when missing notes, all other instruments play when you miss notes on your instrument, and no signs of lowered tracks at all. So purchase away, this songs stems are legit! Considering how many peeps have wanted this song for the longest time, this is great news!
Robin Thicke ft. Pharrel - "Blurred Lines"
Expert Guitar: 116,605 | 100% Full combo | Gold Stars | Tier 1
Expert Bass: 54,575 | 100% Full Combo | Gold Stars | Tier 1
Are the tracks seperated?
A double whammy! Yes! Just like Mr. Jones every track is seperated when missing notes, no sign of foul play here either, so yeah, first week in a little while that both songs have had seperated tracks. Here's hoping this trend continues throughout the month!
Impressions: So yeah, "Blurred Lines" ended up being pretty dull and easy on bass and whatever the track is masquerading as guitar, but that's to be expected. Most people are going to buy it for parties the vocal harmonies anyway. "Mr. Jones" on the other hand was pretty solid. The 3 note chord fest that is the guitar chart kind of starts to grate a little near the end but it's fun enough, the bass on the other hand is great fun, nothing difficult but it's a jaunty little bassline with a fair bit of movement up and down the fretboard. Grab it!

Yay. Thanks! This has been one of my staple requests for ages. Happy it's the real deal. Always wanted a 3-pack, but this is the one I wanted most.
This was my request/wishlist for the longest time:
The Warrior
Your Love
Fire Woman (Please request this. It would be awesome)
Caught up in You
Mr. Jones
after RB3 support ended, I thought we'd never get any of these
Only one left!

Xbox One owners might have some entitlements waiting in their Ready to Install section. I have Freezepop's Less Talk More Rokk now.
One strange thing I noticed when browsing the Music Store now is that all of the songs I purchased used to say Purchased or Installed, but now displays the price like an unpurchased song and is possible to buy them again. I refreshed my Music Library and it did not fix the issue. Does anyone else see this?

I just checked right now, and I have songs that I know I never purchased.
Like:
Bad to the Bone
Let Love Rule
Love Spreads
Man I hope this is true. I'm still waiting on AC/DC and a few other entitlements to actually work for me. At the end of the day, as long as they have all of this sorted out before Rivals comes out, I guess I will be happy.
Yeah, apparently that issue popped up after the new system update.

So I was given the rest of the classic rock track pack songs that I didn't own. Weird.
It happened to a lot of us a month or two ago. Don't know why they gave us the Classic Rock Track Pack.
Yet those of us who purchased it legitimately (me) still don't have it.....
Thanks for the heads-up; I had something like 140 songs ready for download. I didn't check real close, but it looks like all the Track Pack songs (I had bought all of them).

Are you using the RB4 drums? If so, it's a known issue.
Yea, RB4 drums. Bleh.
