News > UPDATE: Rock Band Tracks Announced
July 12, 2007
Harmonix has announced 16 track that will be included in the upcoming multiplayer party rhythm extravaganza, Rock Band. They are as follows:
- The Who "Won't Get Fooled Again"
- Mountain "Mississippi Queen"
- David Bowie "Suffragette City"
- Black Sabbath "Paranoid"
- Blue Oyster Cult "Don't Fear the Reaper"
- The Ramones "Rockaway Beach"
- Rush "Tom Sawyer"
- Bon Jovi "Wanted Dead or Alive"
- Nirvana "In Bloom"
- Stone Temple Pilots "Vasoline"
- Weezer "Say It Ain't So"
- Foo Fighters "Learn to Fly"
- Metallica "Enter Sandman"
- The Hives "Main Offender"
- The Strokes "Reptilia"
- Queens of the Stone Age "Go With the Flow"
Not a bad list. Wanted Dead or Alive is an epic track, and the only thing that could make "Don't Fear the Reaper" better is - that's right - more cowbell.
Update:
A bit more on Rock Band is that Harmonix and MTV have announced that they will be offering complete, downloadable albums, one per week after the game is released, which will be playable within the game. Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos had this to say:
"Offering entire albums for play on the Rock Band platform is a monumental step forward in Harmonix's ever-present quest to provide new ways for people to interact with music and creating the most authentic music experience possible. This will give players the opportunity to play through the entire album set list of arguably some of the most influential rock albums of all time and brings them one step closer to what it feels like to be a true rock star."
The first of these albums is "Who's Next," by The Who. The track list follows:
- 1. "Baba O'Riley"
- 2. "Bargain"
- 3. "Love Ain't for Keepin'"
- 4. "My Wife (Entwistle)"
- 5. "The Song Is Over"
- 6. "Getting in Tune"
- 7. "Going Movile"
- 8. "Behind Blue Eyes"
- 9. "Won't Get Fooled Again"
Rad, dude!
