Tell me if you find any other songs that work for this achievement, but only if you've confirmed it. No speculation please. I'm aware that certain songs from Bang Camaro, Vagiant, etc aren't listed. Disc songs don't seem to count.

Update (1/4/2010):
A pack of free Harmonix songs came out on January 4th, 2010. These songs do not count toward this achievement because the game counts them as Rock Band 2 songs. Sorry.

Below are some of the songs that I would personally recommend. Push Push (Lady Lightning) is from Rock Band Network, Less Talk More Rokk is from the normal music store, and Like a Fool is from Rock Band 2's 20 free song pack. All three songs are almost unanimously known by the Rock Band community for being great fun to play and pretty good to listen to. Each is either only 80msp or free with a purchase.

Go under CAREER / MY GOALS, then select ROCK BAND / DOWNLOADED SONG GOALS, then hit "A". Move the cursor to SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION (3rd row, 2nd column) and hit "A" to "Play Goal".

You will be taken to a quickplay-like song selection screen which will be pre-filtered to include ONLY the songs that you already own that will fulfill the achievement.

If you don't see the option there, then that's an indication that you don't have at least 3 DLC tracks from Harmonix bands. (It appears that they must be ordinary DLC, too. The exports from RB1/RB2 don't count.)

You can also see your progress toward it.
(This works similarly for the other Goals on this same page--there are 10 here that are also XBL achievments.)
