This is probably the most solid track pack out there. Most quality songs cost $2 a piece, so 20 for $20 is a great deal. Just don't buy it used, there's a one-time code in these that will allow you to import the songs into Rock Band for free (after the cost of the pack). If it's used, someone has used the code, and you're stuck with a lower-functioning version of Rock Band that's on the disc.

I bought this as a gift for my father. High speed internet is not available where he lives, so this was an awesome way for him to get new songs for Rock Band. He really enjoyed it.

I own just about every Rock Band and Guitar Hero title available. Sure, they're fun -- especially Rock Band Legos which the whole family will enjoy -- but let's face it, most of these titles are chock full of bands you don't know, and even after being forced to play their mediocre tunes, you still won't care.

Which is why I'm so glad I picked up the Classic Rock track pack. It's more than just a set of great songs -- EVERY track is solid gold -- it plays all on its own. No need to have anything but a guitar and this disc.

If you grew up in the '70s and '80s you will bang your head and rock out to every single track.

And now that it's priced at a very reasonable $20ish, you've got no excuse to dive right in.

Rock on!

Wanted new songs for rockband and most of these were good. If you were to buy each song individualy thru microsoft it would cost $40.00. Cheaper to by the expansion pack.

Although this works as a standalone Rock Band game, you shouldn't get any of these track packs as a replacement for the main games. They have a quarter of the songs and half the features. You won't be able to play online or make your own characters. Furthermore, all of the songs on this pack can be bought individually on the Rock Band online store through the main game in either part 1 or part 2, so you won't be missing out on anything to pass this by.

The #1 selling point and the reason I am giving this 5 stars, though, is because this game is supplied with a code on a piece of paper that anyone can use one time to allow them to download all 20 songs for free. That means you can buy this pack and then e-mail the code off to a friend. You can still keep the disc for yourself, too! The code makes a great gift for anyone you know who's too cheap to buy songs for themselves. Maybe you're never going to get your buddy to decide on which songs to buy, and even if you give them points they "save" them "just in case". This code will force them to finally expand their library so you're not always playing the same tired songs when you visit or play together online. As for the quality of the tracklist, these songs are, for the most part, some of the better downloadable classic rock songs. Harmonix have a vast library of songs for Rock Band, so they have an easy time assembling 20 good ones.

You don't need a paid subscription to XBox Live to download and play the songs with the code. You just need an ethernet connection, which I'm sure 99% of gamers do have at this point.

As a less important point of interest, these track pack discs all have 250 points of achievements tied to them, for those of you who just can't get enough of the gamerscore.

Although this disc is not going to appeal to the vast majority of people, for those who want to surprise a friend with 20 songs, it serves its purpose.

I bought the Classic rock band track pack and it was a good value. It came 2 days early and you can trasfer all the songs onto Rock Band 2 or 3.

Game is a lot of fun! Me and my family had a blast playing this. Its amazing how my kids like older music.

We Are NOT Hard Rockers. So, we were glad when they came out w/other genre's. More than 1/2 the songs are Awesome!!! in this Classic Rock Edition. My family had a lot of fun playing it. I gave it 5 stars because we also bought the Country Edition (4 stars); weird, because I thought when I bought it that we'd like the Country Edition better, but we didn't. The Country Edition does have some good songs, but not really my favorites. Good Songs. Fun. Good Price.

I like this concept a lot. It's a disc for people that don't have internet access via the Xbox 360. For those that do it allows it to be added to the main Rock Band or Rock Band 2 library.
Now here's my problem with it. I'm individually downloaded most of the songs on this disc already. If I were to either download the rest of the songs there's no way for me to get the 250 Gamerscore from the disc. If I were to buy the disc then I'll have spent more money than needed for the songs. I know you can add achievements to DLC, demonstrated by Halo 3 and Grand Theft Auto IV. So where's the justice for the people that download the music rather than buying the disc?
