Finally, a song pack to look forward to

It was music to my ears when I heard Coldplay will be coming to Guitar Hero 3, via the online music store.

Seems that Rockband and Guitar Hero's music stores are filled with garbage (or maybe I'm simply deprived of good, recent rock and alternative music). I've been sorely disappointed with the music EA and Activision have been adding to the song lists post-release.

According to Team Xbox:

Included in the song pack is the hit single "Violet Hill," from the band's highly anticipated new album, Viva la Vida, which is set for release on June 17, 2008. The pack also features Coldplay's first smash hit "Yellow" that earned them a legion of fans worldwide, as well as the upbeat and melodic tune "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face" from the Grammy® Award-winning album, A Rush of Blood to the Head.

This is great news. I can't wait until June 19.

After this announcement by Activision, EA's Rockband best get "in the game."
