The Music Game Corner for 08/28/08 (RB2 Blowout!!)



So Rush's "Moving Pictures" album still has not come out for Rock Band as Harmonix said they will delay it for a bit. On the other hand, more albums are announced as DLC for Rock Band 1 and 2 which is likely for the remainder of the year from Entertainment Weekly and some of these I would buy in a heartbeat (Story is at Joystiq).

  • Foo Fighters - "The Colour and the Shape"
  • Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Blood Sugar Sex Magik"
  • Jane's Addiction - "Nothing's Shocking"
  • Megadeth - "Peace Sells... But Who's Buying"
  • Stevie Ray Vaughn - "Texas Flood"
  • No Doubt - unannounced album, but likely a greatest hits compilation.

Yes at Foo Fighters, RHCP, and No Doubt, but we'll see on the others. One of the songs from the five confirmed albums are in the Rock Band 2 disc, so at least players on the fence of buying those albums can play "Everlong," "Give It Away," "Peace Sells," and "Mountain Song" to see if they like it.

UPDATE - Even the free songs for Rock Band 2's launch are pretty good (from NeoGAF and the RB forums).

  • Honest Bob - Tatooine
  • Against Me! - Stop!
  • Static-X - Push It
  • George Thorogood - Bad to the Bone
  • Blink 182 - Dammit
  • Free - All Right Now
  • Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia
  • Hot Hot Heat - Bandages
  • Bad Religion - Suffer
  • Turbonegro - All My Friends Are Dead
  • The Haunted - Shadow World
  • Pennywise - The Western World
  • Rancid - Fall Back Down
  • Sublime - Santeria
  • Taking Back Sunday - What's It Feel Like To Be A Ghost
  • The Breeders - Cannonball
  • Sepultura - Refuse/Resist
  • Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows
  • The Killers - Somebody Told Me
  • Harvey Danger - Cream and Bastards Rise

Speaking of Rock Band 2, here's a preview of pretty much the last tier of songs on guitar and vocals on Expert.
