| Quote: | Hey gang,
Here's the DLC coming out next week, bringing us 11 songs closer to 2,000 songs total for the library! There's an 8 pack of hits from R.E.M. and a 3 pack of classic T. Rex tracks, all of which will be good for you and should be downloaded immediately. I'm especially looking forward to "It's the End of the World As We Know It", at the very least to see who can make it through the song without running out of breath! Enjoy!

R.E.M. – “Driver 8” +

R.E.M. – “Radio Free Europe” +
R.E.M. – “Stand” +
R.E.M. – “Superman” +
R.E.M. – “These Days” +
R.E.M. – “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?”

T. Rex – “Cosmic Dancer” +
T. Rex – “Jeepster”
(All tracks are original master recordings)
(These tracks will be available in Europe on PlayStation 3 system Oct. 6)

Well, that rules out R.E.M. as the 2000th song.
Also, some singles are missing from the R.E.M. pack, like Shiny Happy People, Everybody Hurts, Bad Day, Man on the Moon and The Great Beyond. Hopefully another future pack is planned.
Still, great week. It's the End of the World alone makes me want the R.E.M. pack.

Eh. Most people will enjoy this, but REM isn't for me and T-Rex is completely hit or miss in terms of funness.
I will probably get ITEOTWAWKI(AIFF) Eventually.

At the moment, yes. However, at some point we'll be getting TJFTMGOUFMTFTCWM ("There's Just Far Too Much Going on Upstairs for Me to Feel Truly Comfortable with Myself") over RBN, which wins if you don't count parentheses towards acronym length (otherwise it's a tie).
Personally, this week's not too exciting for me, but REM's a popular band so it's still not a bad week. I also realized that, with RBN, Harmonix might not have complete control over what the 2000th song is (they could delay RBN songs, but that seems excessive), so we might be seeing a few of the 2000th song poll bands over the next few weeks (so that no matter what rate we get RBN songs at, it's guaranteed to be one of those as long as it isn't an RBN song). |

Awesome T.Rex picks. Can we get a master of Bang a Gong please?  |

Woah, that's a lotta R.E.M.  To be honest, I don't really know any of their stuff. I do know End of the World though, so I'll probably pick that one up for fun.

It's the End of the World..., Stand, Radio Free Europe, and What's the Frequency, Kenneth? should be instantly recognizable to anybody to who listened to pop or alternative stations in the early 90s and are LONG overdue. Those four are easy pickups, but the rest I could take or leave. Living Well is the Best Revenge reminds me of how much we could use some Midtown in the game.
EDIT: Completely missed These Days- one of the most underrated songs of REM's entire catalog and a fantastic choice for this pack. Check it out if you've never heard it.

Well it's about freakin time we get some REM besides 'Losing My Religion.' I'm surprised at some of the song selections though as almost half of these I'm unfamiliar with. Needs more 'E-Bow The Letter' if only because Rock Band needs more Patti Smith.

| EXCELLENT T. Rex picks. The guitar solo in Jeepster will be tons of fun, and the rolls at the end of Cosmic Dancer will break a lot of sightread FCs on drums. GREAT pack. Only other T. Rex song I would REALLY want to see in the game (outside of the Bang a Gong master) would be Chariot Choogle, although that's an INCREDIBLY deep cut. |

| No "Everybody hurts" and "Man on the Moon" has me confused. All though post RB3 with Harmony support, etc, would be awesome. |
