Greetings Rocksmith fans!
It’s time to take a look at another clue! Dan kicked the weekend off with this mysterious image on the forums.
Speculation ran wild, with many people believing that we’d see some Aussie music show up this week. Almost just as many people figured it would be legendary American rockers The Cars. One of those groups was correct, and the other wasn’t. And if you’ve looked at the picture or title of this article, you’ve probably figured out who’s in what camp. As Dan would clarify:
So we found out that it wasn’t just The Cars, but that we’d also be getting a five pack from the 70s group. So, without further ado, here’s what we think the pack could shape up to be!
Candy-O
Man, just listening to this song makes me excited at the prospect of learning it in Rocksmith! Some awesome guitar work going throughout the song is guaranteed to make this a stellar track!
Drive
This is probably the least likely song to show up, due to its sparse guitar part, but it’s also arguably their biggest hit, so there’s, in my eyes, a moderate chance of this showing up.
Good Times Roll
A simple, yet effective riff is the primary focus of this song. Despite that, however, it’s sure to make for a great beginner song and it’d even be fun at a more advanced level!
My Best Friend’s Girl
Another somewhat simple riff, but also features a couple different patterns. Probably the perfect song to graduate to once you’ve mastered Good Times Roll!
Just What I Needed
Because, let’s face it, there’s pretty much no chance this song ISN’T showing up!

So tell us, are The Cars your speed, or will you be taking a detour to avoid these songs?
So excited for this pack 🙂
Very sad that My Best Friend’s Girl isn’t in the pack, but still a good one.
YES. YES. YES. Best DLC 2015 leggo.
1. Just What I Needed
2. Shake It Up (that guitar solo…unf)
3. Tonight She Comes
4. Sad Song
5. My Best Friend’s Girl
My god picking a 5 pack for this band is ridiculously difficult, they have so many Rocksmith-worthy songs.
Was just listening to The Cars while driving home this past Friday. I thought to myself “I hope they release some on Rocksmith someday”. I will get all 5 in the pack, but I am hoping for “Bye Bye Love”. Tonight I will listen to AC/DC and make the same wish…Ha!
Who are they ? Never heard of.
Instrumental in the New Wave movement. Band out of Boston. Their debut album plays like a greatest hits album.
I’m a little confused, was that Milkwood song confirmed as part of the pack?
Long story short, no.
Count me in for Best Friend’s Girl…That 50s style lead is something I’ve been hoping to see on Rocksmith for a while. Also hoping for Bye Bye Love and You’re All I’ve Got Tonight.
Their mega-hits pay the bills but aren’t necessarily the most compelling for guitarists, so I’ll likely be cherry picking. But no complaints here, this is a great choice!
Yes Please
The first proper DLC of 2015! F, yes!
Really, was Drive their biggest hit? Not trying to make a joke here. Just the way the words worked out. When I think of the Cars the first song that comes to mind is You Might Think. That is largely do to the music video. (there weren’t too many interesting videos in the early days of MTV.) This happened to be one of them.
Please don’t bore us to death with Drive. There are SO many amazing songs to choose from by this band. Drive is phenomenal to listen to but I prefer to stay awake while playing RS.
Oh, and I’d love Heartbeat City.
sold! classic stuff
I’ll cherry pick Just What I Needed and My Best Friend’s Girl. Probably won’t get the whole pack.
Very pleased to see a Cars pack. Aside from Drive, I could take just about anything. No one has mentioned any songs from their last release “Move Like This” from 2011. I wouldn’t be opposed to tunes from that like Hits Me, Drag On Forever, or Free. The album is quite reminiscent to earlier stuff, but w/ obvious absence of Ben Orr. They chose to have Greg Hawkes fill in bass on keyboards as opposed to replacing him.
“the Cars” ?§
I’m ashamed, never heard of them.
As well you should be… (ashamed)
