Harmonix trying to appeal to all the wives and girlfriends out there, a smart move. The country music genre is somewhat unbalanced as it is in Rock Band so it's good to see some variety.
Personally I haven't been aware enough of country music to know any of these songs other than "Before He Cheats." But it will be a good week for vocalists at least. But you never know, maybe there will be a surprise like Sin Wagon. In fact one of my favorite songs to play is "Mud on the Tires" which is good fun on guitar. Don't judge too quickly folks. _________________

My reaction when I saw the announcement was a simple monotonous "lameeee" and then I went on with my business. I wish people on other sites wouldn't be so butthurt about the song choices.
I'm getting Before He Cheats though. |

Two dedicated track packs is unbalanced? That's more than any other genre got. I guess I wasn't aware country was just that popular. It seems like it should be a more niche thing. I personally don't know a single person who likes any of the country stuff. _________________

I didn't expect this DLC announcement, but I have to admit I'll cave and get it. Even one of my friends who "hates country music" admitted to liking "Before he Cheats" the other day. |

If you look at country songs as a percentage of DLC as a whole (and especially once you factor in RBN), yeah, it's pretty underrepresented. If you go to any remotely rural area in the US, it's all they listen to. I think that you could make the argument pretty easily that (next to hip-hop, obviously) it's the most blatantly ignored genre in the game.
According this this article, sales for Country and its subgenres were at 42,923,000 last year as opposed to 105,685,000 for Rock, and I highly doubt that ROCK Band (yes, let's get the distinction of the game's title out of the way now) has a DLC ratio anywhere close to that roughly 2/1 mark. This is an extreme simplification, of course- the amount of people in those rural areas play the game less, don't have access to high-speed internet as much as those who do buy DLC, play videogames less in general, etc.- TL;DR, they're not the target audience.
However, in a more practical sense, I think that any night at a suburban (or even hipster) karaoke bar will tell you that Carrie's style of pop-country is extremely popular with women. I've seen panties drop to renditions of Keith Urban and Luke Bryan songs faster than damn near anything else.
/Whew. Maybe I should've put this in either the Music or Rant II threads. _________________

While I will admit 2012 is a dark year for DLC (minus the Maiden Epics and Slayer packs, of course), unlike most of you, I can actually find positives in all of these packs. I don't really mind these songs. _________________
