Some comments on the non-definite ones. (Although I question your taste in supporting Fall Out Boy at all.)

Probables:

Metallica 1 - I've only played them once, and that was back in December. They're technically difficult, but didn't strike me as really fun. YMMV

NIN 1 - Perfect Drug is awesome. Initially I just bought that and it's provided hours of hilarity ever since because the drum track is the most difficult in the game. The other instruments aren't so inspired. Then I decided to buy the other two just because. They're not quite so cool, but still fun. March of the Pigs is dreadfully tricky on bass.

Screaming for Vengeance - I'm really tempted, because they all look fun. But I haven't felt the urge to plunk down $15 for it, yet.

Potentials:

Beethoven's C*** - I'm happy I bought it, but that was mostly because it was only 80 pts. It's a bit repetitive.

Shockwave - Really tough but amazingly catchy and fun to do. The chorus is awesome.

Bowie 1 - I'm conflicted here. On the one hand, they're all good songs. However, two of them are covers and after a while it's really apparent that the cover singer isn't Bowie which kinda detracts. Moonage Daydream is a good pickup regardless, though.

Songs You Should Be Getting:

Dirty Little Secret & Move Along - By far the best value we've gotten out of any DLC. They're fun to do on all instruments, extremely catchy, and not at all tiresome.

Others I Might Suggest:

Action - Not as tricky as Ballroom Blitz and a fairly strong cover. The chorus is awesome.

We Care A Lot - Really clever lyrics and it has a nice catchy but tricky guitar/bass line.

And normally I'd agree with you, because I really hate Dead On Arrival and never cared for Dance, Dance as a song. However, this song's just so damned catchy I can't help but like it.

Metallica 1 - This one's in consideration for other people that might want in on the Rock Band action, particularly Smiljana and Chris. Also, I like them a fair amount, and figure they'd make for good RB material. Somewhere further down the line, I guess.

NIN 1 is more of a matter of when rather than if. I don't want them showing up as randoms quite yet.

SFV - I'm pretty much in the same boat as you here.

SXSW tracks (and indeed, all half-price tracks save for HMX 1) have gone back up to 160, which is the main reason they're in potentials as opposed to probables, or even definites (except Crushcrushcrush, which is there more for the women of the group--I think the only female vocal song I haven't picked out is Cherry Bomb).

AAR - Now that I've listened to them, they're moving into the probables category.

Action - Considered and decided against it. It didn't really jump out at me all that much, except for the interlude toward the end.

We Care A Lot - I like the song (anything from the Grosse Pointe Blank soundtrack automatically gets a thumbs up from me), but I couldn't possibly imagine it being an interesting one to play. None of the expert charts stood out to me.

Thanks for the heads-up!
