I have bolded the songs I would like to play. Dream On was made available as a free download months ago, so I already have that one. Plus no Dude Looks Like a Lady? What gives?
Anyway, that is a total of eight songs for $60.00 (or about $7.50 a song - and the only one that come close to being worth it is the Run DMC/Aerosmith Walk This Way song at the very end). When for $60.00 on Rock Band, I can download The Pixies album Doolittle ($15.00), The Who album Who's Next ($15.00), and the following songs (at $2.00 each).
- Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffet
- Cheeseburger in Paradise - Jimmy Buffet
- Good Times Roll - The Cars
- Just What I Needed - The Cars
- Call Me - Blondie
- Message in a Bottle - The Police
- More Than a Feeling - Boston (which technically I already have on Guitar Hero)
- Roam - The B-52s
- We Care a Lot - Faith No More
- Wonderwall - Oasis
- Last Train to Clarksville - The Monkees
- Hard to Handle - The Black Crowes (which also happens to be on this Guitar Hero game)
- Buddy Holly - Weezer
- I Fought The Law - The Clash
- My Sharona - The Knack
So here is my plan:
1) Cancel my Amazon pre-order for Guitar Hero: Aerosmith.
2) Wait until I get Rock Band.
3) Buy all of the extra songs listed here.
4) When my wife complains about the $60 bill, point her to this blog entry and explain that I really SAVED her $60 by cancelling my Amazon pre-order. So in a sense, I'm not really spending ANY MONEY AT ALL.
5) Use this logic to get a job as an economist.
