The best weeks of Rock Band DLC are weeks full of “oh man, THAT song!” The only thing better is when a week seems custom-tailored just for you, but since we don’t know how many of you are into post-zydeco goth funk, we’ll keep trying to release famous songs that are fun to play on Rock Band instruments. This week’s songs are:
New! Singles

• Audioslave – “Like a Stone” (TrojanNemo)
• Audioslave – “Show Me How to Live” (TrojanNemo)
• The Beatles – “Rain” (Orange Harrison)
• Neil Young – “Rockin’ in the Free World” (TrojanNemo)
• White Lies – “Farewell to the Fairground” (GHtoRB3)

Everyone’s “oh, THAT song” mileage varies, but “Show Me How to Live” is a big one — you may know it as “NEYHL IN-UH MYY HAA-AAND, FROM MY CRE-AY-TUUHHRRR”. As a big radio single from 2003, it rode the wave of the nineties’ grunge sound, and will be familiar to anyone in their 20s. (And probably the rest of you, too.) C3 author TrojanNemo brings the Audioslave in force with that one and “Like a Stone”, another hit from their triple-platinum debut album.
Is classic rock more your thing? TrojanNemo also brings a new (though often-requested) artist to the game with Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World”, with charting and multitracks from GH6. This song didn’t chart as well as his earlier stuff, but remains a classic rock anthem. (Oh god, it came out in 1989. Is Bowling for Soup right? Are the ’80s officially classic rock now?) We’re also incredibly pleased to feature another full frequency-banded multitrack release by C3 contributor Orange Harrison: The Beatles’ “Rain”. Originally released as the B-side to “Paperback Writer”, you should absolutely check out this song’s Wikipedia page; there’s a lovely John Lennon quote about smoking huge amounts of weed to come up with the final verse’s backwards vocals.
The GHtoRB3 project brings us White Lies’s “Farewell to the Fairground” as an original custom this week. White Lies is a British post-punk band that you, like, probably haven’t heard of, man, but this song will rightfully change that. With catchy vocals crooning and a fun disco beat on drums, you should definitely give it a shot.
Finally, we’ve also got new Rock Band Harmonies Project releases today, with more LEGO: Rock Band songs and a ton of legacy Pro Guitar upgrades! Check out the full list below the fold, and visit the RBHP project for downloads.
