No Townes Van Zandt or Johnny Cash?

Pass.

@Slartibartfast: Yeah, some Cash would be nice. Maybe it's more American Folk, but I'd also be partial to some Pete Seeger.

@MrBionic: Highwaymen, definitely

I'm in for "On the Road Again" and "The Gambler".

One of the reasons I almost purchased GH: World Tour was because it had "On the Road Again".

Of course, common-sense won out and I never purchased it, but it was a close call.

@MrBionic: Hell yeah I love both of those songs, but haven't even heard of a vast majority of the others.

More songs, even if they are foreign to me, are always good.

@KillerBee: I agree.

My main problem is that, while I have a very eclectic musical taste, I don't have a very LARGE musical library or interest, so MOST songs are foreign to me.

Rock Band is really helping me widen my range and exposure, and for that I'm eternally grateful.

@MrBionic: As someone who's weighing up the games at the moment, why does everyone ever tell me not to get GH: World Tour? Isn't it just the same thing with a different track list?

@Pombar: No, no it's not. For one thing, DLC is way fewer and far between for WT. For another, Activision cares more about creating new games than supporting the ones they have out already. The instruments are documented as being far less friendly and well-crafted than Rock Band instruments, and finding people to play with is just easier with Rock Band.

@Pombar: World Tour is great, just buy the standalone game used for the music.

I don't understand what the hate is for... it's got some great tracks just nowhere near as much DLC.

Wow....13 songs for 30 bucks is not a good deal, even if I hadn't already purchased the songs previously released. I hope the unreleased tracks sell for the standard price of two bucks or less per song when they hit DLC.

So do Microsoft think country isn't worth a stupid cash payment for a period of exclusivity? They're probably right.

Man, I hate most country music. One recent popular song described freedom and being an American as being able to eat fried chicken and drink a beer. What a joke.

@Ranged360: Thanks. I normally don't think so highly of myself, but I'm glad that you do.

Anyways, my point is that a lot of country songs misrepresent what it means to be an American. Being an American means so much more than being able to eat fried chicken and drink beer. The idea of personal freedom should not be diluted like it is in much of country music.

@Simba: Way to take an entire genre of music and stereotype it down to a song you heard once.

Now that is what it means to be American.
