Microsoft has announced that it's rolling out the real Xbox Live Music Games stores. When the latest Dashboard Update rolled out earlier this year, this section was comprised solely of Xbox Live Marketplace entries for music game DLC, but now each game will be receiving its own themed store. So, if you want to pick up Rock Band or Guitar Hero tracks, you can open up the corresponding store and start browsing. Each store will also allow users to preview songs, so there's no need to fire up each game to see if you like a particular track.
The stores should be going live sometime today, so keep an eye on the Music Marketplace section of the Xbox 360 dashboard. The games that will feature their own stores include Rock Band, Rock Band 2, The Beatles: Rock Band, LEGO Rock Band, Guitar Hero 5, Guitar Hero: World Tour, Band Hero, Lips and Lips: Number One Hits. Check out images of the new storefronts in the gallery below.

RB has far more content than GH.. searching for older content would be easier using the game disc.. new stuff however will be easy. I just like to hear the samples before I purchase any.

i think this is a good idea. i haven't used it yet but, putting all of the music games in one place and allowing previews without the game disc is pretty awesome.

So why wasn't this posted on the main page while the one about the Guitar Hero store app was?

This is annoying, I use my remote to navigate my Xbox 90% of the time when I am not playing a game, but the Rock Band marketplace doesn't support the commands from the IR remote... Even Uno lets me play with the remote! Why can't I buy music with it!
