Not So Good Rockband DLC

Rockband's DLC is getting hit by the 80's. I know what your thinking; that sucks and I agree with you. Devo (pictured below) and Duran Duran (pictured right) are each getting 2 songs on the marketplace each costing 160 MS points. We all know how 80's songs do in music games so why do they keep trying to force it? Here is the song list:

• "Girl U Want" by Devo - 160
• "Through Being Cool" by Devo - 160
• "Girls on Film" by Duran Duran - 160
• "Rio" by Duran Duran - 160
• "Get Your Rock On" by The Janitors - 80
