    Good songs!  I'd really like "Cold Hearted Bitch" from Jet and "American Girl" from Tom Petty at some point, but I've been waiting for "Running Down A Dream" for awhile.  Since I refilled my points balance to get Shadow Complex, I might go ahead and get that track.

    I was just about to put this up ;) 
     
    But, wow, that is a great list. I am 100% getting "Runnin' Down A Dream." It was actually a reason I wanted to get GH5. I guess that isn't happening.

    YES!! More Fleetwood Mac = Instant buy!
     
    Kind of iffy about the Jet choice, though it's not bad. I would prefer more stuff from Get Born, but I'll still buy this. Great Billy Idol choices too, which I'll also buy!
     
    This is an amazing week, and will definitely help bring up my spirit since school starts on Monday. :(

    Both Tom Pettys, both Fleetwood Macs and Rebel Yell are all definites. Think I can live without Mony Mony though, and that Jet one doesn't mean anything to me. I'd love to see the whole of Rumors on there but it looks like we're just gonna get bits and bobs here and there. Still, can't complain.
