So far I have purchased 9 songs from the series, most recently trees.
How about the rest of you?
I have these:
Bohemian Rhapsody
Man Who sold the World
Maggie May
Wish you were here
I Alone
Trees
Knocking on heaven's door
Imagine
Live & Let Die.

The good thing about listening to them over and over again without watching the performances, is that you can hear some of the problems better.

Such as:

In Maggie May Ty definitely says MARY one time instead of Maggie

In Bohemian Rhapsody at one point one of the choir members must have been poked with a hot fork!

In Live & Let Die MIG was totally off key and out of breath a few times.

Jordis has a lovely voice and I love it but she does sound much the same in all of her good pieces.

In the songs I have, Marty is the stand out. All of his sounded good on the show and they sound just as good on my car stereo.

So far I have downloaded:

Trees
Wish You Were Here
Hit Me Baby, One More Time

And Everlong but the Foo Fighters version

Of the other songs, I'm trying to keep to the ones that will still be enjoyable in a few months so will probably download:

The Man Who Sold the World
Most of the rest of Marty's (so I can burn to a disc)

On the other performers, I'm going to have to relisten to be able to tell if I'll enjoy six months from now. So far, I'm happy with the downloaded ones.

I hadn't downloaded any when you first posted this but now that I have, I totally agree on how it sounds different:

So far I have downloaded:

ROCKSTAR COVERS:

CA Dreamin
Cold As Ice
Hand in My Pocket
Okay - ALL of the JD songs (even "We Are the Champions"! I'm nothing if not faithful.)
Man Who Sold the World - Jordis
Hit me Baby One More Time - Marty
No Woman No Cry - Ty
Baby I Love Your Way - MiG

I ordered a bunch more of the originals of songs - once I listened to a snippet there were some that I had originally loved of the Rockstar cover but didn't hold up in comparison (Deanna vs. Melissa Ethridge and Jordis vs. Guns n Roses on "Knockin on Heaven's Door." That really surprised me because I remember really loving her version.

LAST EDITED ON 09-13-05 AT 01:25 PM (EST)

Those are pretty much the ones on my list to download. I'm so excited to have a Rock Star cd to listen to!

Ok, just downloaded:

JORDIS: Man who sold the world, Imagine & The reason

MIG: Baby I love your way

MARTY: Trees, Wish you were here, Mr. Brightside, Take me out, Baby one more time

JD: Suspicious minds, The Letter, Pretty Vegas, California Dreamin, As tears go by, Hand in my Pocket & Come as you are

TY: No woman, no cry

For .99 each, I didn't need the rest of them.
