    Rock Band 1 Special Edition (Guitar, Drums, Mic, Rock Band 1 game), and a copy of Rock Band 2. 79.99 shipped. That's an awesome deal.

    I was hoping eventually this would be for the Wii too ... it'd be a great Christmas present and a good set-up for my little brother without investing too much in case he didn't get into it as much as I did.

    Why are only 3 songs available to buy individually for Abbey Road, but the album costs $17? Are the rest of the songs just not good enough to release on their own, or what the hell is going on here?

    Ohh, makes sense now... kinda.

    So are the bside songs worth getting? I know I could look back a couple of pages, but I'm obviously unable to seek out information on my own.

    Well, I mean...depends on which few minutes you listened to?

    I know I really like it a lot, and if you are fan of more than half the tracks starting at and after "You Never Give Me Your Money" on Abbey Road, then you apparently like more than half the medley.

    You can always check it out on Youtube at the very least. It's good fun on each instrument I think, so it's down to if you like the songs.

    I didn't say it was illegitimate.

    However, if you love The Beatles, then you should already know whether or not you want the Medley. If you ask here, people will say you should buy it. I know I'll get around to it eventually...

    But, the Medley is one of the key features of the album itself, and if you say nothing stood out, well... It brings a few questions to mind. But it might help you to see the whole thing in action, so to speak.

    Ahh, fuck it, I'm buying it.

    Over the past few years I've been listening to just a few songs at a time by them (I can't handle too much awsomeness all at once after all), so there is still a lot of stuff that I've yet to get into. The disc has both some of my favorite songs of all time on it, as well as some songs that I've never listened to before (which are now among my favorite songs of all time).

    So I guess it was a dumb question. I'm bound to fall in love with everything by them so I should just buy all of it.



    Between this and Queen pack, working at 5 am is looking worse and worse D:

    Is there an easy list online of all available songs for Rock Band?

    My buddies and I are planning a Rock Band night, and with 500+ songs we want to cut down on the amount of slow scrolling through songs to find the one new players want. So what I'd like to do is make a list of all the songs I have, and print out a bunch of copies (kinda like kareoke), and leave them around the room so people know what they want before they get up there.

    I'm just trying to avoid manually typing it out, and would much rather find a master list, copy and paste it into Word, and delete out the tracks I dont have.

    You can also change the sorting in the list and then press the yellow button to jump to a specific tag (letter for band or song name, decade, etc.) and begin searching there... That's probably the least effort for the most useful function whilst actually playing.

    Or you can probably enter your gamertag into one of the two major third party score websites and export the list to a file importable into Excel or something where you can then arrange and print it however you like. That solution also has very little effort and can result in the outcome you desire. But it may take a long time to print all the pages depending on how you ultimately sort the results.

    Yeah it's slightly weird to suddenly be on the rooftop for one song.

    But then again I Want You (She's So Heavy) is a weird song!
