i think most of the songs on rock band pretty fun but i'd really liek to see some fall out boy. I dont really like fall out boy but i think the drums in thewir songs are very fun. ALso, i think after watching the super bowl American Girl by Tom Petty would be funn onf drums. MAybe some taking back sunday too

I wish they would bring back the preview option so we can listen to parts of these songs before you buy them. You could get a taste of something you like and actually buy it instead of not buying it at all because you never heard it before and don't want to buy a song and it end up sucking for you.

I know, I know, you can go online and go to youtube for instance and find what they sound like, but that's a lot more work than someone wants to do

Every time one of these come out I cry on the inside knowing I'll have to shell out 85 bucks (and rising) to get everything I don't already possess.

I'm definitely going to get this one, I love all three bands. I agree with some of you guys that they need to get some different punk bands in there. I don't think hardcore would be all that fun (the guitar would be so boring), but there are plenty of other good punk bands out there. What they really need to do is put some older music in, 50s and 60s stuff. Its called Rock Band put some of the guys that started rock in it.

I love a lot of these bands, but they really need to bump up the variety. There are so many great bands out there to pick from. It makes you wonder if they are having problems getting the licenses to other artists, or if they are just completely ignoring them...

I just want something NEW.

These interest me a hell of a lot more than Oasis, but we definitely need more variety, rather than more songs from the same bands. I mean, how many freaking bands are there out there? Dozens, at least, right?

That Fuzzy Bastard — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 21:58:57 MST

So so so so awesome. "Complete Control" is a song I never would've expected---woulda figured songs from Combat Rock and London Calling would be coming out way before the first album. And while it's true that there's been plenty of Ramones, the sheer fun of convincing everyone in the "band" to shout LOBOT-O-MY will more than make up for it.

As for The Police---yeah, it's a lot, but it's hard to begrudge songs that let the bassist get something compllicated to play.

Bands I want in Rcokband:

Falkenbach
Forefather
Luca Turili
Haggard
Almora
(Real Truth-Metal, not the baby pop-lie-metal that most people like, or that is in most of these american music games)

I'd also like...
Interpol
Rilo Kiley
and God Knows from the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Lord knows that'd never happen, the latter one, but man, that song is made for Rock Band.

@Doomstink:

I totally agree with you. I know it may be due to licensing issues and royalties, but dammit Harmonix, I want to play me some more '90s alternative and rock!

Bring on some Everclear, Third Eye Blind, Our Lady Peace, Live, Green Day, 311, Incubus, Sublime, The Offspring, Bush, Bloodhound Gang, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Reel Big Fish!

XvCowboyvX — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 20:17:32 MST

Love, love, love the Clash and the Ramones..BUT. There's a world of punk and punk-inspired music equally as engaging as this classic, first-wave punk fare. As some have mentioned in this talkback, hardcore punk would be a welcome addition to the library of content already offered. Hell, Harmonix need look no further than their own backdoor: Boston. The city saw the rise of some of the penultimate hardcore acts of the early 80s.

So this would be the fourth Police song put up as DLC, why didn't they just do a Police album download?

Anyways, where has the variety been in these DLC updates? Most of the stuff we get is just more stuff from bands that are already in the game, where are some new bands?

Torgen got his apology faceplate but not his fixed GH3 disc — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 19:43:18 MST

My DLC request is so much less likely than all of yours: UVERworld's Bugright album. Requiring the singer to speak Japanese kinda kills the marketability of the download.

Pass on these tracks. Im getting a bit tired of the same old bands. And I definetly hope this is the last track by the police they are putting out there.. (other than the one confirmed for march).

How about some more alternative rock. more contemporary stuff. Stuff that came out this millenium. And im not talking about fall out boy and the all american rejects, im talking about Muse, Audioslave and The arctic monkeys
