The Internet has spotted what appears to be a tracklisting for Rock Band 2.
Among the songs making the cut are "Pinball Wizard" by The Who, "Kids In America" by Kim Wilde, "Give It Away" by Red Hot Chili Peppers and "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead.
Word comes from the ScoreHero forum (spotted by Kotaku), where members froze a video preview of Rock Band 2 on X-Play and uploaded a capture of the in-game music store.
We can't be sure it's genuine, or that the tracks will actually make it into the finished game. Usually we reach down and feel for authentication.
Rock Band 2 was unveiled yesterday and offers fancier instruments as well as cross-compatible downloadable songs, which means you can transfer your DLC from the original to the sequel or the other way around.
Developer Harmonix has also taken on board all of your feedback in order to make parties and online games much more fun this time around.
Rock Band 2 is due out for Xbox 360 in North America this September, with other platforms "to follow". Distributor EA is yet to set a European date.

Looks like it already has a better soundtrack than Activision could come up with

"Developer Harmonix has also taken on board all of your feedback in order to make parties and online games much more fun this time around."
Have they also taken on board that the RockBand guitar is one of the most shoddily built peripherals I've ever had the misfortune to lay my hands on? If they were the only ones making this sort of game they might have an excuse, but the RB guitar is worse than the very first GH controller, so its not like that didn't have some refence. Not microswitches, but leaf springs! What is this, the 70s? |

Hate the Red Hot Chili Peppers, one of the most overrated bands ever. Good to see Motörhead though. I still hope that Killed by Death will make it in one of those guitar games.

P.s. I don't mean to slate RB in general. Its a great product and I've had fun playing it, but the peripherals need a solid kick up the arse next time around.

Since I was a young boy I played the silver ball, from soho down to brighton I must have played them all ....
/Wants more Who. I was prepared to naively let the treatment of europe by EA slip the first time (after much deliberation) but not the second time, if it's more than 3 months delayed in the EU then I wont be getting it. |

Still waiting for them to release Who's Next as a downloadable album, if that comes out then I get the game.

Good news, Monkey Puncher, although "Who's Next" master tapes were lost in a fire or something, July 15th will see "The best of the Who" featuring Baba O'reilly, Who are You and loads of other great songs they play at the beginning of those CSI shows that get you so pumped up you forget how boring CSI is.

You know what I want?
Blues Hero, or even Blues Band. That would be freaking sweet. Get to it EA. |

I'm hoping for QOTSA's "Song for the Dead", that is probably one of the most perfect modern day songs for RB.
Great drums/vox/guitars. The bass ain't half bad either. |
