No, at launch there wasn't enough songs for the money (it's probably cheaper now though). Plus the AC/DC song on Rock Band 2 I find is pretty boring. RB:AC/DC looks more like something for fans of AC/DC; it's more of a track pack whereas I think GH:M is more open to all fans of Rhythm games a la The Beatles: Rock Band. It definitely won't beat GHM for variety and challenge. 18 songs vs 49.

Harmonix announced Rockband Network. They're opening the floodgates to community songs; giving away the tools for anybody to create Rock Band tracks if they have the master tracks and put them up onto the new community section of the Rock Band store. This is awesome news for anybody in a band or any solo artist wanting to get their music recognised, but even more awesome for us players who will have access to thousands of more songs. Labels can now choose to put up entire albums on release day without asking Harmonix if they will do it (which will likely result in 3 tracks going up) or wait in a queue. The Sub-Pop label, for example, has claimed it is going to put all of it's major releases up via the Rockband Network. Look at their artists! Open beta starting in August for the 360, full store open by the end of the year. More info.
