Full Band Hero track list, importable songs revealed

by Griffin McElroy on Oct 19th 2009 10:34AM

If you've been savoring the slow trickle of track list announcements for Activision's tween-oriented rhythm title, Band Hero, your prolonged pleasure is about to come to a satisfying, yet abrupt end. The publisher has revealed all of the songs that will be available on the generically monikered game, and we've posted them -- along with details about compatible DLC and song importing from other Guitar Hero games -- after the jump in the least confusing manner we could possibly conjure. To help in this endeavor, we've even added a table of contents!

Man, we're seriously too nice for our own good.

This set list is even worse than DJ Heroes. I pity those who had to work on this game.

The DJ hero soundtrack is only shit if you don't look at it as the sum of it's parts. The tracks being mixed may be 1/2 shit, but the DJ's doing the mixes are awesome.

This game has Hollaback Girl!!!! I don't like that song therefore it sucks!!!

Dumbass. The game is all remixes. Yes they may use songs that you don't like, but the mashups sounds damn good.

But hey, it's not like you can't go to the DJ Hero website yourself and listen to a whole ton of 30 second samples from like 30 songs in the game.

your pity is appreciated.

@Hakaisou

Yeah, about those mashups.

They're what I'm talking about chief.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdenALHBENA

that's a damn good mix of 2 songs i thought wouldn't work together at all.

Happy Together? Oh, you assholes. Ohhhhh dammit.

Just what I was thinking. dammit indeed.

(replying so that I don't get pushed to page 2 because I've figured out something)

I'm not sure if anybody's aware, but 60-something tracks from GH5 can be exported to Band Hero for $6 and vise versa to GH5 for $5. I'm not trying to push anything, but I just figured it out. Band Hero is the reason for unnecessary censorship in GH5. They probably took out "to kill" (2 Minutes to Midnight) and "drunk" (The Rock Show) among others so that it would be appropriate for the little kids to play in Band Hero. This may also explain why we can't bring songs like Raining Blood or B.Y.O.B. from past games to GH5. I'm sure when Band Hero fails, Activision will reconsider their plans for exportability.

This is bullshit!

I'm real happy for you Taylor, and ima let you finish, but Rock Band 2 is one of the best music games of all time! OF ALL TIME!

^In the Rock Band: Country track pack

Hold on, let me check....
o, here they are.
http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=146156

Wasn't there a whole country pack for rock band?

"take you for a ride on ma big green tractor, we can go slow or we can go faster!"

@ Jerry

You're not alone. Though these days I'm more inclined to listen to Classic Rock / Alternative / Punk, I grew up listening to Country so I don't hate it.

A little Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, or Brooks & Dunn would be fine by me.

Country Hero in 2010?

Seriously, this post makes me glad I'm swapping GH5 for Fifa 10 tomorrow. I'm fine with RB 2.

LMAO THE FUNNIEST THING I HAVE HEARD LIKE EVER.

It's crystal clear that I am not this game's target audience, nor are most of us Stiqsters so I'll withhold a snarky comment.

Your restraint is admirable.

Yeah, this is kinda aimed at that 11-15 age bracket, as far as I can tell.

Not enough Queen.

See, again. Rock Band has you covered:
http://www.joystiq.com/2009/10/16/rock-band-weekly-a-killer-queen-pack/

I don't understand why people still play GH when everything they want is in a rock band DLC or track pack.

No, that's my point, and exactly why I do play Rock Band over Guitar Hero

It's really simple. RB is far inferior when it comes to gameplay.

Inferior? Crazy.

Rectangles are superior to circles.

I'll skip this one

"61 of the chart-topping hits featured in Band Hero can be imported into Guitar Hero 5 for Xbox 360 for 420 Microsoft Points".

Sold! I was hoping they'd allow for cross-game importability between BH and GH5; mostly to be able to make my Kurt Cobain puppet sing some Hilary Duff. Woohoo!

I patiently await your YouTube video.

Where did you read this???

wait....this is an actual game??? i thought it was a joke someone was making about all the versions of these rhythm games by combining rock Band and guitar Hero

This setlist makes me really really really really wanna ziggaziggaaah

Nooooooooooooooooooo!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NbWtUQUj5M

What a horrible track list. Seriously.

29% ok

60% meh

1% Spice Girls!

keep that $%!@ away from me! Far, far away!

*shudders*

10% not memorable enough to be in initial calculations?

math fail...

I've said it before in these comment sections, but I'll do it again.

This isn't for us. It's for the normal people.

So, I'm not normal?
=(

dont worry, normal is overrated anyways

Do not call them normal, I refuse to believe they are the normal ones!

Top gear RULES!

Big Country....those fuckers! Why can't rock band pick that one up.

And I am very disturbed by the lack of Cake, in any of these music games really.

I wouldn't want to play that many cake songs without some Horn peripherals. I'd kill for Mexico, but only if I got to play steel guitar....

So this was totally not a purchase for me until I saw the setlist and OMG. This set list is 5x better then GH5 and GHWT!!!

3 Doors Down - "When I'm Gone"
Cheap Trick - "I Want You To Want Me (live)"
Maroon 5 - "She Will Be Loved"
Marvin Gaye - "I Heard It Through The Grapevine"
Papa Roach - "Lifeline"

But really I am decided to buy this after I saw one of my FAVORITE songs EVER on there..

Tonic - "If you could only see".(The way she loves me)

Plus it can export for 420 Points? Damn you Activision...

Not to be a music snob or nothin, but really?! Maroon 5? 3 Doors Down? Did you forget your /sarcasm or what?

I'm pretty sure he was serious. He had Cheap Trick and Marvin Gaye listed. How do you not like them?

wow. Rock Band 1+2+DLC+Track Packs+Lego beats the shit out of this.

mainly because over 60% of the songs are out on what i just said.

Though I've pretty much locked in Rock Band as my platform of choice for faux-Fender feats, at least Activision has taken note and is making quite the concerted effort to have cross-compatability between their titles/DLC/export/import options.

^ I was kind of pissed to find out after paying to export my World Tour content into GH5 that it was only 33-35 songs and not all or near to 85 songs on the disc.

yeah it's true. Activision is trying. But thing is, Harmonix is succeeding.
