"Dr. Feelgood" full album by Mötley Crüe
WHAT ROCKS: Wow, what a fun album! Some excellent guitar riffs here, starting with the title track, and continuing with "Rattlesnake Shake," "Kickstart my Heart," and "Without You." Drums are equally interesting, often featuring something other than the same Y Y Y RY pattern that seems to be so common in many songs. And most of the good guitar songs are also the best drum tunes. "Dr. Feelgood" itself again shines, along with "Rattlesnake Shake," and "Kickstart My Heart."
WHAT SUCKS: Almost without exception, every part is too easy. Oh, and the lyrics to "She Goes Down" are downright juvenile and embarassing to say out loud. Did Nickelback write that song? Not to sound like a bunch of prudes, but let us get something straight: we can't have profanity in Rock Band songs, but we can have this?
FINAL VERDICT: Unique drum patterns you won't see in any other song in Rock Band, excellent guitars, and (mostly) fun vocals define this album download, but we'd recommend cherry-picking the best stuff. Oh, and you're likely to enjoy it but not feel the slightest challenge when playing on your usual difficulty level. Thus, we recommend cranking it up a notch higher than you're used to, and we bet you'll have a blast.

Ok, I can live with a few country tunes on RB, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Not a lot of country songs are "RB worthy". Very few of them would be overally enjoyable to anyone but people who like to sing country. The closest thing to country I'd want to see on RB would be Sweet Home Alabama.

This game is called ROCK Band. Not Country band, or Country singer... ;) And thank goodness for that! ROCK ON!

I understand your not bad and your prejiduce against "She Goes Down", but even though it is fairly easy it is still a very fun album. You get frustrated with the insanely hard stuff like Megadeth but condemn this for being too easy. From what I can tell, you gave this a not bad based on crude vocals in one song and some of the songs being too easy. It doesn't seem fair if you don't do the same for the insanely difficult songs.
