I was about to post this to the Rock Band (1) thread so everyone's included, but since the DLC applies to both Rock Bands, I figured it made more sense to make a new thread for it.
Anyways, this week's announcement... Foo Fighters.

7. "My Hero"
8. "See You”
9. "Enough Space"
10. "February Stars”
11. "Walking After You”

Good idea. It might be nice to have a full list of the DLC options somewhere. Is the official site good for that?

Soundgarden... awww yeah. They're the perfect band for Rock Band -- I'll be snapping that up straight away.
Yea, Spoonman is a blast to play.
Yeah, i'm in for the Killers and Soundgarden definitely. They need to extend that transfer feature they used for the RB1 disc over to the GHWT disc, so I can consolidate my whole library into 1... 
Soundgarden... awww yeah. They're the perfect band for Rock Band -- I'll be snapping that up straight away.

For me, that No Doubt content is an insta-buy. Both my wife and I will have a blast with it, I'm sure.
I really wish they would include No Doubt's Beacon Street Collection. I guess anything from before they hit it big isn't cost effective :(.
Also, the country stuff is confirmed:
Hey everybody,
Coming at you with a Monday announcement. As widely reported next week's pack is of the country variety!
Brad Paisley - “Mud on the Tires”
Brooks & Dunn - “Hillbilly Deluxe”
Dierks Bentley - “Free and Easy (Down the Road I Go)”
Dixie Chicks - “Sin Wagon”
Miranda Lambert - “Gunpowder & Lead”
Each track will be available starting December 16, 2008, for the Xbox360 and December 18, 2008, for PS3. Each individual track will be available for $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points) and $8.49 (680 Microsoft Points) for the 5-pack.

I'm not a big country fan, so I won't be buying these... but I am really surprised that neither the Guitar Hero or Rock Band franchises have bothered to come up with a product that DOES appeal more to country music fans.
I mean, if we can get "Rock's the 80s" and the "Aerosmith" disc, but nothing for country fans? Maybe it's just that the creators don't respect (?) or know the genre... it just seems like a large market for exploitation.
----------
As an aside, I'm glad to see Harmonix offering so much DLC... I just wish it was stuff I actually LIKED.
I was looking through the new releases tonight, and was about to laugh at the song HEADPHONES ON from some Nickelodeon show called iCarly (never seen it) when I saw it was free. So WTF, right? Free is free. I downloaded it and it's actually a decent fit for my current all-girl band.
So yes, mock me if you must. I care not.

I posted the preannouncement in the RB2 thread, and had 3/5 songs right. I figured they'd go something more upbeat for Brad Paisley, and I've never heard of that Brooks & Dunn song. I'll definitely be picking it up though 
HEADPHONES ON from ... iCarly ... it's actually a decent fit for my current all-girl band.
I don't need your permission to mock you, I just need to figure out where to start!

I said I care not.
Besides, I can't help it-- I'd rather look at hot rock chicks while I play.

It's a good song by TV theme standards. But don't watch the show by yourself. You must have a child present or it will get weird real fast.
This will make a lot of folks happy...

Isn't she, like, twelve?
Isn't she, like, twelve?
Miranda Cosgrove?
She has the body of a 12 year old, and the head of a 35 year old. She;s creepy.
But I think she's closer to 16 or so.

Hell yeah!
