Monthenor @ Jul 14th 2008 2:58PM

That may just be my favorite Bob Dylan song.

Jomolungma @ Jul 14th 2008 3:09PM

It's certainly in my top 3. Very interested in seeing the charts for it.

FSK405K @ Jul 14th 2008 3:03PM

Frickin playlist. Every other Guitar Hero and Rock Band had at least a few songs I was genuinely excited about. Looks like it's RB1 and DLC for me. Unless I see RB2 on clearance.

KEFIOX @ Jul 14th 2008 3:10PM

Where's Head Like a Hole? Other than that great setlist.

Banana Kid @ Jul 14th 2008 3:12PM

This is an alright list. Float On is great, Lump is great, Peace Sells is great. I am, however, heartbroken by the continued lack of classic Tenacious D. Would it kill them to get Tribute?

DarthDavid @ Jul 14th 2008 3:33PM

Singing Painkiller on expert.......impossible... but I don't sing, I play expert drums....can't wait!

RedPaladin @ Jul 14th 2008 6:53PM

The inclusion of Painkiller on RB2 pretty much made my year! Now let's see if they'll have The Sentinel up for DLC.

...these are the songs I wanted to sing ion the first Rock Band.

therpham @ Jul 14th 2008 4:08PM

Oh my God! is on the list! Awesome!

Fuck! is on the list! Shit!

What the hell? isn't on the list? Fuck you, Harmonix! You should have made Rock Band: Read Your Mind Edition that only includes the 80 songs I like best in the world!

Anyway, I'm pretty excited about this. I'll definitely get it.

mistian @ Jul 14th 2008 4:08PM

so glad dinosaur jr made it on

Youthinized @ Jul 14th 2008 4:20PM

The Trees is probably one of the best Rush songs around.

More Rush Masters!!!!

Sveppi @ Jul 14th 2008 4:27PM

I love this setlist, loads of songs that I've wanted in Rock Band. Pretty surprised so see the lack of NIN, Police and Clash.

Gwas @ Jul 14th 2008 4:32PM

Where's my Dillinger Escape Plan? Other than that, great song list. Fantastic pick for AC/DC, it's all about Bon Scott. Can't wait to sing some White Wedding too.

Cesaria (cesariatic.wordpress.com) @ Jul 14th 2008 4:53PM

Holy fuck, Modest Mouse, Sonic Youth, and Talking Heads. Rock Band 2=must buy. Shit, and I was gonna get GHIV. Shit...

Vii @ Jul 14th 2008 4:56PM

I have a theory about the lack of an AC/DC track that is more well known in this set list. Yes it does make good business sense to have songs like "Back in Black" or "Highway to Hell" be DLC. Those songs will make a killing in profits. However, it is entirely possible that Harmonix will release the entire Back in Black LP as DLC. And honestly, who doesn't want to spend $15 bucks to get a bunch of AC/DC music from what is arguably their best album ever.

RavenPaul @ Jul 14th 2008 5:05PM

I don't want to.

Chrysee @ Jul 14th 2008 6:17PM

I want some Meatloaf :(

Jk, this setlist kicks ass.

Desert Eagle @ Jul 14th 2008 10:04PM

OH MY DEAR LORD ALL SONGS INCLUDING RUSH ARE MASTER TRACKS!?

*Head explodes*

Robert Maynard @ Jul 15th 2008 2:17AM

Am I the only one super happy about Steely Dan being on there? :P

Great, great list. Add in backwards compatibility to RB1, plus all the Rock Band DLC already released being available at launch - Guitar Hero World Tour could not be deader to me.

Tal Ater @ Jul 15th 2008 3:37AM

You can see and hear the music videos of every one of the songs on http://www.rockband2tracklist.com/

Sam @ Jul 15th 2008 4:03AM

I'm going up to the spirit in the sky. It's where I'm gonna go, when I die. When I die and they lay me to rest, I'm going to the place thats the best.

Morley @ Jul 15th 2008 2:51PM

It's a good list, but WHERE'S TOOL?

Truman @ Jul 16th 2008 11:42PM

Silversun pickups and RATM's best song imo. Now all i need is rockband to be released in Australia... That being said At the drive in is on GHIV which is almost unbeatable, Plus g hero is actually sold here, unlike rockband :(

JohnHeist @ Jul 16th 2008 3:09PM

WHOA!

TREES!!!

Saminal @ Jul 24th 2008 7:15PM

Yes, they could have chosen a more popular song such as Back in Black, but this actually isn't a very technically hard song. In fact, most of their songs are pretty repetitive from a guitar perspective. If something like Thunderstruck doesn't kick your ass, then it will probably just bore you to death.

I think they made a good choice... awesome lead guitar, good rythm guitar, sweet drums... good luck sounding like Bon Scott, though ;-)

LET THERE BE ROCK, baby!
