Baumblog EST 1968 - A blog for the Baumbachs who originated in Syracuse, NY

As many of you probably know by now, I have Rock Band 2 and plan to bring it back during Thanksgiving and Christmas solely so I can hear Geoff sing again. One of the benefits now is we can download more music, which we couldn't do with the old Playstation 2 version we had.

I have uploaded a spreadsheet to my server which you guys can take a look at here. It's the list of all available songs to download and which ones I currently have (or think I have, hard to remember). Take a look through and let me know in the comments which songs you're interested in that I don't have and I'll look into picking those up before I come as I don't feel like paying $100 to get the wireless adapter for the Xbox 360.

I look forward to the many "You downloaded all that crappy Rush, but not xxx" comments likely to come.

Also note, I'll be bringing the less fun Guitar Hero World Tour, which has some more songs. Many it has in common though, and we could always try the Music Studio and see just how musically untalented the family is as a band.

Metallica - And Justice For All
NIN - The Perfect Drug
Rush - Limelight??? You Don't Have, how dare you.
Shinedown - Devour
Six:A.M. - Life is Beautiful (great song)
Smashing Pumpkins - Siva
The Greatful Dead - Casey Jones

I knew the limelight song was coming. Notice I have the Limelight (Original Version). The original was a cover and a horrid one at that. You'll also notice I have two Working Mans. One is a cover and has the original solo. The other is the Vault Edition (master track) which has a pretty awesome and very different solo.

I think you have most of these...
War Pigs - Black Sabbath (tho I prefer the Faith No More cover)
Juke Box Hero (c'mon, I grew up in the early 80s)
Bad to the Bone (see above)
3's and 7's (tho this is in RB3, it's awesome)
Where the hell is the Black Crowes' 'Twice As Hard'???
Summertime Blues
Joker and the Thief - Wolfmother

Dang, Geoff how'd I miss Life is Beautiful? That is an awesome song. All good suggestions so far guys, I should have 'em all for Thanksgiving. Summertime Blues kinda stinks. I love to say it, but Rush really did a much better version...heck I've heard some better country versions than The Who's. Maybe it's just because it's their Live version. It's all the singer's fault, the music is really hard to make sound bad.

You just aren't playing the Who's version loud enough, or you haven't had quite enough beer. :)

I also just picked up the AC/DC track pack, which includes 18 songs from them, all of their good ones. To anyone who isn't an AC/DC fan, I've picked up 18 songs that sound exactly the same. :)

Get enough vodak in me and I'll sing. Which won't be pretty. Just ask Darcy.

Nobody can sing like me, ok? I'm taking names come Turkey Day. I will own AC/DC.

Drew will try to give you a run for your money on that Geoff--who is bringing the video camera??

Drinking + Rock Band is good...me and a couple IBM buddies gave it a go, we were playing until about 4 AM and I've got a couple funny videos from it as well.

Mom and Dad still have a fair amount of Stoli. I'm set...but I still can't sing to save my life. Or play guitar beyond "medium," nor even come close to playing drums on even "easy." Meh. Wii Tennis, anyone? Btw, we need to find a bigger room to do that in. :)

I'm game for all the above. Well, save for the boos, I can act like an idiot all on my own :)
