I honestly don't know much Jimmy Buffett, but I'll look into getting those. Disturbed I'll be getting for sure (I don't think BB Canada has the free tracks, so I'll be just buying these the old fashioned way).

NICE!
I'm probably in for all six, but definitely in for Disturbed (though kinda disappointed they didn't use any of the older songs) and Margaritaville.

My enthusiasm is curbed until I hear them. Not a fan of re-recordings...

I absolutely can't fucking stand Buffett but I can appreciate the attraction and I think those tracks will be huge come Tuesday. I'd much rather see the Beach Boys on there. It's nice that the Disturbed tracks are only $1 each but I'd much rather have songs I've already heard before.

Totally agree, but the Monkees and Buffett and stuff like that is one step closer to the Beach Boys and others...

I just previewed the Cars tracks & I knew all but 2 of them (I was surprised, especially at Moving in Stereo). I knew 7, so I was DL'ing 7, so I just grabbed the entire set for roughly the same price....Damn you, Rock Band!!

Jimmy Buffett? WTF? I mean put in some damn Beach Boys at least before this.
I won't even comment on Disturbed. Enjoying the Cars stuff though, that'll hold me until some quality comes again.

Buffett is an interesting choice. Again, kudos for variety, but not sure I'll buy them.
I wish the store let you sort by available date. I missed last week's sixpack of tracks, and it's a pain trying to browse through them.
I just noticed you can hit Start to get a "table of contents" on the left of the store.
It seems like the last few sets of songs have been mostly easy to middling on guitar, and medium to hard on vocals (according to the circle rankings).
I might get the Die Toten Hosen, Juli, and Les Wampas songs. I like non-English songs. I wish Schweine from GTA could be available. I'll have to listen to the Juli one again, the clip on the store sounded good, but the full song sounded a lot slower tempo based on the youtube link. The Cars tracks are tempting as well.
Has anyone submitted a song to rockband.com that actually got released in the game?

The Buffett songs are a good summer choice, and will probably be really simple on guitar and drums, but should be fun to sing. Seriously, how could it NOT be fun to sing,
"I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draught beer
Well, good god Almighty which way do I steer"

I wouldn't get Buffett for myself, but I know they'll be popular at parties and people who normally wouldn't get up and sing, will for those songs. I wouldn't get the Disturbed tracks for full price, but 2.99, I'm in.

F'ing Jimmy Buffett.
I don't want to buy them, but I know what'll happen...I'll have a few beers and they'll pretty much buy themselves.
Smart marketing there Harmonix...you bastards!

I'm a big Buffett fan since the first time I saw him live (1986). I'll be buying these, although I can't imagine they'd be much fun to play (except for maybe the drums in Volcano -- I'd love to play the part of "Mr. Utley").
One selling point -- They're songs you can sing no matter how bad your voice is or how drunk you are.
