  Harmonix have to pace themselves with these "Tom Petty," "Fleetwood Mac" and "Billy Idol" acts nobody in the world has every heard of, lest they run out of Linkin Park.

    I was about to make a "Fleetwood Mac covered The Smashing Pumpkins" joke but then I realized that The Smashing Pumpkins are probably too old for that to really work properly at this point and consequently felt old myself :(

    (I, for one, hate jumping into random RB bands and *always* playing Linkin Park-type songs. Young kids nowadays...)

  Yeah, cause a song like Mony Mony never gets people to sing along at a party. Oh well.
