There’s a special feeling when you first experience a thing you will grow to really love. Imagine the first time you played your favorite video game, listened to your favorite album, or marathoned an awesome TV show on Netflix. There’s an electric, exciting feeling. This is awesome! What will happen next? Is there a sequel to this game? More albums by this artist? Another season of this show? In the 1960s, that was the entire world’s experience with rock music. The ’50s showed us what was possible, but the ’60s are where rock really came into its own. This week, we celebrate the inception of rock as we know it today with eleven songs from rock’s so-called “Golden Age”.

Before we talk about the songs, major props to ws54 for masterminding this pack. It started as an 8-song psychedelic rock pack, and inspired farottone, clintilona, drummerockband, columbo777, and AddyMilldike to kick in and make it the badass selection of tracks you see today.

Why should you download these tracks?

“Baby Blue” – Yeah, bitch! Even if you only download this song because of Breaking Bad, ws54 says you’ll still be experiencing one of the best songs ever made.

“Laugh Laugh” – Did you know this band performed this song on The Flintstones? ws54 says this is a classic oldie, up there with The Zombies’ “She’s Not There” (available as official DLC).

“Hurdy Gurdy Man” – Don’t let this song’s awesomely chill psychedelic vocals fool you; it has a killer guitar solo and tons of fun drum fills.

“Listen People” – This poppy track was a hit in the US when it was released. Herman’s Hermits is still touring! To quote frontman Peter Noone, “As long as Mick Jagger is still touring, I can too!”

“Long Cool Woman” – Downloading this will let you finally decipher what the hell the indecipherable lyrics are.

“Do You Believe in Magic” – Well, do you? If your feet don’t start tapping when you listen to this, please make sure you have a pulse.

“Summer in the City” – This song, one of Rolling Stone’s 500 greatest of all time, has a very different sound than “Do You Believe in Magic”, but its keys hook and chorus might be even catchier.

“Kicks” – According to ws54, this song started the whole pack, which originally had a “say no to drugs” theme. This high-energy number will be stuck in your head all day.

“Venus” – Everyone has heard this song, or at least the Bananarama cover. An excellent karaoke selection.

“Crimson and Clover” – This track also captures the essence of this pack exceptionally well. Did we mention that every band this week is new to Rock Band?

“Wild Thing” – This song, another of Rolling Stone’s 500 greatest, makes everything groovy. ws54 expects this to be the most downloaded song of the week; don’t disappoint him!

Recently uploaded fixes to previous C3 releases include:

Neil Diamond – “Love on the Rocks”: Many fixes; v1 was an older development version

Pink Floyd – “Dogs”: Heavily revised Pro Keys chart, added a missing tom marker

Static-X – “Love Dump”: Added some missing hi-hats

All of the passworded RAR files from GHtoRB3 should now be de-passworded

Finally, we’ve got 23 brand-new upgrades to first-party Rock Band content, courtesy of GreenPanda12, espher, and sageamagoo! This week is Dave Grohl Band time, with harmony upgrades that include The Colour and the Shape and Foo Fighters 02, along with Foreigner 01, Franz Ferdinand 01, the Flight of the Conchords songs, and more!
