They better put every song which ever existed by the beatles in there =) this game will be the best game ever on this planet...i will get the dlc probably to. please release let it be...naked as a album if its not on there
"The game is good; the graphics are good," Sir Paul McCartney said. Ringo said that,,,
They better put Paperback Writer, Ticket to Ride, If I Fell, Eight Days A Week, She Loves You, Roll Over Beethoven, Magical Mystery Tour, Come Together and Across The Universe in it. Otherwise it's good.

"...'All You Need Is Love' will be available to download exclusively from Xbox Live, with all proceeds donated to the Doctors Without Borders charity." It's unfortunate when charity becomes console exclusive.
Please let Abbey Road be compatible with the other Rock Bands as well!
Albums shouldn't be DLC, if it's the Beatles Game just give us all the songs.
good for a spin-off of Rock Band
Meh. I'm very happy Day Tripper made it in...but I'm still holding out for the rest of my favorites by them. Here's hoping
Looks awesome
