I wonder why there is no Coldplay for dlc. Seems like the sort of music that would be in RB.

EDIT: I wish they would put in It’s the End of the world as We Know it just to fuck with singers.

Yes to more Bad Religion, but I’d rather have a cross-section than a single album. American Jesus, Generator, Let Them Eat War, Anesthesia, Strange Denial, Infected, Atomic Garden, I Want To Conquer the World…

Yeah, for those of us who follow the DLC it’s kind of a non-event. Much less exciting than Losing My Religion, for example.

I could go with that Shadarr, it’s just my favorite album, by far, and I think it would make a spectacular marathon piece.

Guyute-Probably because Coldplay doesn’t rock. They’re soft rock at most, Muzak. My own personal dislike aside, I just don’t see them fitting, it’s all very quiet and energyless. Even their hardest song is very toned down.

How is Coldplay different really from, say, Smashing Pumpkins, or Creep?

I take this to mean that you haven’t actually listened to the Smashing Pumpkins. I suppose if you are basing your comment entirely off the two on-disc songs they’ve had in Rock Band (Cherub Rock and Today), you are only mildly totally fucking stupid. You should probably try this, or this for a song that’s actually available as DLC.

A simple comparison.

This is Coldplay. Note the lack of recognizable guitar, drums, or self-respect.

This is Smashing Motherfucking Pumpkins. Note the lack of a face you are experiencing as a result of having it rocked the fuck off.

Also, I specifically picked a song that is available for Rock Band as DLC.

Coldplay is available on Guitar Hero.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

And there is no way to like both Coldplay and Smashing Pumpkins…whatever will I do?

I like Amon Tobin but I’m not pushing for including it in Rock Band, because it doesn’t map to the gameplay at all.

Wait, it’s OK to like the Smashing Pumpkins? Oh good. I can never keep up with all you music snobs.

Taste differs. When Sharon Osbourne resigned as their manager, she said “(…) I must resign today due to medical reasons - Billy Corgan was making me sick!!!”. I couldn’t agree more.

I once had the good fortune of having Zwan cancel at a rock festival I attended. There was much rejoicing. The last minute replacement was Fu Manchu, who incidentally would be totally great to have in Rock Band. And of course, there are still lots and lots of Motörhead tracks to include.

I remember someone saying how Coldplay always sounds like they’re just about to start to rock, and then they don’t. This song is a perfect example, just when it sounds like they’re gonna bust out the guitar it backs off to just the strings instead. I actually kind of like In My Place, to listen to, but I can’t imagine playing it in RB. Singstar maybe.

I wish they would add ths one as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQbAz-cgDR8

Woah. Losing my Religion is my favorite REM song. Great move. Coldplay!? Please God no.

Actually. Whatever. They are a popular band. I don’t have to DL it.

Geez, I remember that from Karaoke Revolution… The lyrics scroll by way too fast to read, so I think I just wound up singing “Nananananana.” Which it accepted.

Cal: [David and Cal Playing a video Game] You’re gay now?
David: No, I’m not gay I’m just celibate.

Cal: I think? I mean, that sounds ga- I just want you to know this is like the first conversation of like three conversations that leads to you being gay. Like… there’s this and then in a year it’s like, “Oh you know, I kinda wanna, ya know, get back out there but I think I like guys” and then there’s the big, “Oh I’m I’m a g-gay guy now”.
David: You’re gay for saying that.

Cal: I’m gay for saying that?
David: You know how I know you’re gay?

Cal: How? How do you know I’m gay?
David: Because you macramed yourself a pair of jean shorts.

Cal: You know how I know you’re gay? You just told me you’re not sleeping with women any more.
David: You know how I know that you’re gay?

Cal: How? Cuz you’re gay? and you can tell who other gay people are.
David: You know how I know you’re gay?

Cal: How?
David: You like Coldplay.

NUFF SAID

The earlier the REM, the more fun the tracks are going to be to play. I would like to see 9-9, Shaking Through, or (preferably) a Murmur album release.

edit: I messed up the link for Shaking Through. Look at Sitting Still instead.

Saw them in concert when that album was still kinda new, and they made the song even harder, almost scream metal like. I liked it. My girlfriend at the time not so much.

Your Shaking Through link goes to a page about how kindergartners have a “meterologist for a day” where one student is picked to tell the others what the weather is.

Whoops. Well, that’s my daughter in the white shirt.

I didn’t actually mean to even link Shaking Through. I meant to link Sitting Still.
