I'm still bitter that GH got Van Halen on board. This band exclusivity crap is going to ruin everything.

This list still looks great though

No Scorpions or Queen?

I'm a sad panda :(

At least Bon Jovi's inside and there's Eye of the Tiger. Oh, and Carry on Wayward Son is always a good tune to rock out to...

But still...No Scorpions or Queen?! :(

This is pretty mostly good. As long as I don't have to play a few of those. Talking Heads ftw.

Interesting...The songs on the official list is about 90% of what I playtested at the studios not 3 weeks ago.

Apparently, stuff that was in the build a few weeks ago could be forthcoming DLC for RB2? If so, some killer tunes already in the pipe.

This is looking good, nice mix of every genre. Needs a little more metal, and punk and less emo (paramore/linkin park) but overall really good. Colony of Birchmen and Master Exploder are going to be fucking awesome. And we finally get some Dylan and Journey!

also, fuck FUCK bon jovi. here to ruin my rockband.... again. glad to see some Sonic Youth love.. good song too. and more Smashing Pumpkins. was hoping for R.E.M.'s Man on the Moon, but that's what DLC is for.

also... Float ON...? come on. there's so many better Modest Mouse songs.

Cool, they definitely added some good metal tracks. Some of the other stuff leaves me boggled, but it's alright I suppose.

If the IGN article wasn't bluffing, then this on top of the 20 Free DLC AND the importable RB1 tracks... come this fall my 360 becomes nothing more than a Rock Band machine.

...and I'm totally stoked for that.

Pretty nice track list but I want to see what moneybags Activision are offering. I just hope one of them release some British bands as DLC.

Colony of the Birchmen rules. Good luck with the vocals.

Kinda surprised nothing by Nine Inch Nails off of The Slip isn't on there (yet).

Still no GG Allin? WTF!

I am making a pledge, right here, right now. I WILL buy Rock Band 2. Compared to the setlist of the original, and GH4, this is blowin' my mind. So many great and favorite songs are on here, in addition to the DLC; it's just TOO much for me to deny.

My friends and I might just sell all our instruments except for one set.

No need for 8 sets of band equipment.
