Fun Phoenix drum charts for Phoenix

This week we'll play last week's new DLC (9 songs), plus improve on our worst songs by score (except the ones like "Thank You Boys" where we're already maxed). This will help us move up the "All Songs" Leaderboards.

Here is my top 3 DLC from last week:

3. "Nightwatchman (Live)", by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers: The 2nd Tom Petty Live DLC 6-pack has some pretty good songs (ex: "Century City", "A Woman in Love (It's Not Me)"), but overall I prefer the 1st 6-pack we got 2 months ago. Out of the new songs "Nightwatchman" stands out for having a really fun guitar chart, easily the best guitar chart this week.

2. "Lisztomania", by Phoenix: The drum charts for this band are quite interesting and unique. While the band's sound won't be to everyone's liking, if you want to have a decent challenge and add some variety to your collection, don't hesitate to pick these up. The vocals on this track are quite difficult as there are sections with lots of pitch changes and no breaks.

1. "1901", by Phoenix: Easily the best DLC this week. The song has a driving funky rhythm and is fun on all instruments. It's interesting that this band comes from the same region of France as electronica pioneers Daft Punk. Another outstanding drum chart, worthy of the name Phoenix... :)

Honorable mention. "Blue Jeans", by Silvertide: This is a somewhat "commercial" rock song (not usually a good thing), but the great charts on all instruments (especially on drums) make it stand out vs. the other Tom Petty songs.
