UPDATE - This post is now updated with changes to the setlist and links to all of them in action on Rock Band.
I was watching a stream last weekend of someone playing Rock Band 2 and a setlist of what he considers the 84 best Rock Band songs to play. This me want to play the game again and buy it again (wait for Rock Band 3). So yesterday, I put together my own setlist of 84 songs I would rock to in Rock Band.
