    Never heard any of those songs (and I have no idea who Big Dipper or Dead Weather are).  Guess I'll check out the charts, but doubtful that I'll get any of these.

    Dead Weather, that is the new Jack White group isn't it? I actually have not listened to any of their songs yet but I did like the Raconteurs so this might be similar. As for the other songs of the week, I will pass.

    When I read Judas Priest I prayed to god that one was gonna be Breaking The Law. Alas, dear reader, it was not to be. :(

    Might check out the Judas Priest songs. Not really a fan, but I do like a handful of songs from Screaming for Vengeance. Never heard of those other two groups.

    Wii users are getting some good tracks this week - Pixies, Foreigner, and The Killers.

    No idea what any of these songs are, even as a Priest fan I haven't heard those songs =\ I'll check charts when they come out.

    And I agree with Hobbies, Wii users get some good songs - Namely Pixies =]

    Quick update, the Big Dipper pack is 240 msp, not 440 as announced.  Each song is $1, which makes my odds of buying it go up quite a bit.
