“Fly By Night,” from 1975’s album of the same name kicks off the pack, followed by a live cut of Rush’s “The Spirit of the Radio,” one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s “500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll.” The pack is rounded out by “Caravan,” which was released as a single earlier this year. These three tracks are just the tip of the iceberg for Rush fans; we’ll have even more exciting Rush/Rock Band news before the year’s out, so stay tuned!

Well, Rush pack and news of possibly more from them is great! Really happy Fly By Night is in there, plus the new single.
Volbeat sounds OK, BVB I do not really care for atm.
Something tells me the live version of The Spirit of Radio is either the same one from GH5 or the new one from the Time Machine Live CD/DVD released a few weeks ago...

Why else would I still be here?!
Not sure if I want the new Rush song, but I'll gladly take the others. A bit disappointed that we will probably never get the studio version of The Spirit of Radio.
These three tracks are just the tip of the iceberg for Rush fans; we’ll have even more exciting Rush/Rock Band news before the year’s out, so stay tuned!
So, it's either another big pack from them with 2112( which we do already know about) or some other option that I don't know about. I don't think it's a full-fledged game, but who knows really?

Definitely stoked about Spirit of Radio with a Pro upgrade, and I'm pretty sure I'll also pick up Fly By Night with the upgrade. Caravan isn't as much as a hit for me but it'll no doubt be a fun chart, we'll see.
Both the singles sound repetitive and generic to me but MIGHT be fun charts for half-price, we'll see on that. I guess we'll see a lot of things. Here's hoping we don't lose sight of things!
Man, even the pro upgrades are good this week AND DOLLAR SONGS
When was the last time we got dollar songs? Not for a while, I think...
EDIT: Upon looking this up, the last time there was a dollar song was Dearest (I'm So Sorry) by Picture Me Broken. That came out back in May of 2010. So it's been a good time coming.

Probably 2112 and some legacy Pro upgrades (POSSIBLY all of Moving Pictures, but that's setting expectations really high), at the least. At least, I really hope for some legacy upgrades, we've got some good ones back there.
