Friday Giveaway!
OK, we’re going to try this out, and hopefully it works well.
Here’s what I was thinking. Some weeks prizes may be bigger than others; some weeks may not have prizes at all. I’ll ask a question, and I’ll open up the comments so people can put their answers. Each answer is an entry into the giveaway. Only one answer/entry per person, please! I’ll try and put up the giveaway shortly after noon (Central time) on Friday, and you’ll have most of the weekend to answer. I’ll choose a winner after 8:00 PM (again Central time) on Sunday night. Make sure to include your email address (I guarantee I’m not a spammer or whatever), because the winner will be contacted via email Sunday night or Monday. For some questions, it will just be a random winner (for example, favorite DLC?), but other questions will have winners based on the best answer.
Oh, and since I’ll be shipping said prizes at my own expense, I’m only going to ship to the lower 48 states (sorry Hawaii and Alaska). If it’s something I can send via email (codes for downloads or points), then I’ll open it up to everyone (worldwide, provided you’ll be able to use whatever the prize is).
Last thing… please no complaining! I’m doing this for the community because it’s fun for me, and if that’s ruined, then boo on you. If I’m missing anything, I’ll post an update here in bold. Again, as this is coming out of my own pocket, I reserve the right to change the “rules” at anytime. So… on to the show…
Here’s what I got for this week. I’m giving away this lovely pair of Rock Band Sleep Pants, male size large.
To be eligible for the prize (read the “fine print” above), I’ll start with an easy question.
What DLC track currently available do you think is the most underrated? Not your favorite, but the one track that you think most people pass over quickly and shouldn’t be. (So I shouldn’t be seeing anyone posting Don’t Stop Believing!)
OK, good luck! Comments are open!
UPDATE: Congratulations go out to evil_bat_witch on Twitter! Thanks everyone for entering! I will definitely be having more contests in the future!

“My Curse” -Killswitch Engage
All instruments are fun as hell to play (on hard/expert) and as far as overlooked, I don’t know many people who listen to/have heard of Killswitch. The guitar is challenging, but fun to play. The drums get tough as hell with higher difficulty. And this dude can SING!
A close second for me would be “Runnin’ Wild” -Airbourne.
A lot of good choices in the above picks, including “Forever,” “Sin Wagon,” “Debaser” (nobody online seems to have the Pixies, but Doolittle is a desert island album for me) and the Mission of Burma pack which is amazing all around.
But my vote goes for The Stone Roses, “Love Spreads” as the best song nobody seems to have. It is without question the best drum chart in the entire game with an amorphous rhythm that’s fluidly logical and yet hard to pin down. The guitar is a slinky beast that keeps your fingers working the frets constantly without being pointless noodly. The bass groove is simply filthy and you’ll feel it no matter what instrument your on. If you’re not bopping up and down at least a little bit while playing the song, well… you’re doing it wrong.
The vocals are at a nice, relaxed pitch, ideal for us males who can’t hit the stratosphere, with lyrics that are bewildering, the best kind to sing.
“Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister, ain’t no king, man, she’s my queen.”
Does it get better than that? I think not.
I have most of the DLC and I would have to say its split between oldie but goodie Roam by B52′s and newer metal classic More Human Than Human by White Zombie. I play on xbox live and have only played Roam with people who actually bought it like twice and More Human Than Human once. I would also say the whole Funk Pack (which we need more of IMPO) and She’s Not There by The Zombies.
Probably anything from Roy Orbison. Not the most difficult songs, but they are seriously alot of fun to play. I just recently got some friends to purchase them so we could all play along to them and they would have to agree they’re tons of fun.
