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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :(

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!
