Rumor Mill: Rock Band 2 Set List(s)?

As speculation continues to be fast & furious, we here at RockGamer are jumping on the bandwagon, and bringing you more rumored information on Rock Band 2’s set list.  Please keep in mind that all of this is rumor, and NOT to be taken as fact for now.

We’ll have to wait patiently for the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) next week for any confirmation.  The following information was taken from an article posted on Kotaku.

Two separate lists are referenced in the article, detailing supposed song selections for Rock Band 2.  For convenience’s sake, I’m consolidating them.  Firstly, here are the songs that both lists have in common:

  • “You Oughta Know” - Alanis Morissette
  • “Man In The Box” - Alice In Chains
  • “Ramblin’ Man” - Allman Brothers
  • “Rebel Girl” - Bikini Kill
  • “White Wedding” - Billy Idol
  • “One Way Or Another” - Blondie
  • “Tangled Up In Blue” - Bob Dylan
  • “Livin’ On A Prayer” - Bon Jovi
  • “Hello There” - Cheap Trick
  • “New Kid In School” - The Donnas
  • “Panic Attack” - Dream Theater
  • “Hungry Like The Wolf” - Duran Duran
  • “Pump It Up” - Elvis Costello
  • “Everlong” - Foo Fighters
  • “We Got The Beat” - The Go-Go’s
  • “Alabama Getaway” - The Grateful Dead
  • “American Woman” - The Guess Who
  • “PDA” - Interpol
  • “Mountain Song” - Jane’s Addiction
  • “Aqualung” - Jethro Tull
  • “Bad Reputation” - Joan Jett
  • “Any Way You Want It” - Journey
  • “Carry On Wayward Son” - Kansas
  • “One Step Closer” - Linkin Park
  • “My Own Worst Enemy” - Lit
  • “De-Luxe” - Lush
  • “Peace Sells” - Megadeth
  • “Float On” - Modest Mouse
  • “Ace of Spades” - Motorhead
  • “Drain You” - Nirvana
  • “Spirit In The Sky” - Norman Greenbaum
  • “Come Out & Play” - The Offspring
  • “That’s What You Get” - Paramore

  • “I Was Wrong” - Social Distortion
  • “Spoonman” - Soundgarden
  • “Cool For Cats” - Squeeze
  • “Bodhitsattva” - Steely Dan
  • “Eye Of The Tiger” - Survivor
  • “Chop Suey” - System of a Down
  • “Psycho Killer” - Talking Heads
  • “Master Exploder” - Tenacious D
  • “Souls of Black” - Testament
  • “Pinball Wizard” - The Who

Awesome start!  Those listed above would seem the most likely to make the disc, due to them being referenced by both lists.  OK, now on to the differing selections between the two set lists.  The remnants of the first group also include Harmonix bands, so maybe these all have a pretty good chance of making their way in:

  • “Let There Be Rock” - AC/DC

  • “Almost Easy” - Avenged Sevenfold
  • “Shooting Star” - Bad Company
  • “So Watcha Want” - Beastie Boys

  • “The Middle” - Jimmy Eat World
  • “Painkiller” - Judas Priest   \m/ =)
  • “Pretend We’re Dead” - L7
  • “Our Truth” - Lacuna Coil
  • “Colony of Birchmen” - Mastadon
  • “Battery” - Metallica
  • “Where’d You Go” - Mighty Mighty Bosstones

  • “A Jagged Gourgeous Winter” - The Main Drag
  • “Conventional Lover” - Speck
  • “Supreme Girl” - The Sterns
  • “Rob The Prez-O-Dent” - That Handsome Devil

OK, (hands cramping up!) on to the final set of stragglers from the second group of tracks:

  • “Bad To The Bone” - George Thorogood”
  • “Dammit” - Blink-182
  • “Alright Now” - Free
  • “Holiday In Cambodia” - Dead Kennedys
  • “Push It” - Static-X

There you have it.  Lots of good tunes, and all rumors at this point.  I can’t wait to see what confirmation(s) we get next week!

    Great story. I have heard now that Harmonix has stopped the play test because these list were linked. Also people that posted these on YouTube now are finding their accounts locked and suspended.
