Not as good of a month as March with Hendrix and Queen, but I might pick up the Steely Dan pack and possibly Motorhead depending on the charts. A little confused about the Nirvana choices though... _________________

Okay choice of songs, but they can definately have more metal songs. I think they should add some Three Days Grace into the game. |

Steely Dan? Uh, Hell yes. My Birthday at the end of the month, so I'll definitely have that.
Steely Dan & Silversun Pickups on the same week. The 9th is our missing week. _________________

Okay, seriously, there's been 2 whole Nirvana DLC's on GH:WT, and not ONE of them included Smells Like Teen Spirit. What the hell Activision? I hate when Rock Band/Guitar Hero has good bands but not their best songs. |

Always nice to see the Pixies represented and shown to a new audience, though finance dictates that I'll only think about getting the one that's not already in Rock Band.
Bit of a missed opportunity, I feel, since neither game has 'Where Is My Mind?', yet repeats still seemed like a good idea. *shrug* _________________

You know, when I first read the highlighted text I thought that it said fiancee dictates that I'll only think about getting the one that's not already in Rock Band.
