OK, it's been a while since I posted about Rock Band here. Here's a summary of information, and it's pretty exciting to me.
For those of you who aren't familiar with what the game is, it's a video game coming out for Playstation 2 & 3 and Xbox 360. You play a member of a rock band, and you play on a game controller shaped like either a guitar, drums, or you sing into a microphone. (Basically combining Guitar Hero, Karaoke Revolution/Singstar, and drums).

My fan site: http://www.rockbandfan.com
Official list of tracks so far:
* Beastie Boys - “Sabotage”
* Black Sabbath - “Paranoid”
* Bon Jovi - “Wanted Dead or Alive”
* David Bowie - “Suffragette City”
* Blue Oyster Cult - “Don’t Fear the Reaper”
* The Clash - “Should I Stay or Should I Go”
* Deep Purple - “Highway Star”
* Faith No More - “Epic”
* Foo Fighters - “Learn to Fly”
* Freezepop - “Brain Power”
* Garbage - “I Think I’m Paranoid”
* The Hives - “Main Offender”
* Hole - “Celebrity Skin”
* Jet - “Are You Gonna Be My Girl”
* Metallica - “Enter Sandman”
* Mountain - “Mississippi Queen”
* Nine Inch Nails - “The Hand That Feeds”
* Nirvana - “In Bloom”
* OK Go - “Here It Goes Again”
* The Pixies - “Wave of Mutilation”
* Queens of the Stone Age - “Go With the Flow”
* Radiohead - “Creep”
* The Ramones - “Blitzkrieg Bop”
* Rolling Stones - “Gimme Shelter”
* Rush - “Tom Sawyer”
* Smashing Pumpkins - “Cherub Rock”
* Stone Temple Pilots - “Vasoline”
* The Strokes - “Reptilia”
* Weezer - “Say It Ain’t So”
* The Who - “Won’t Get Fooled Again”
* Yeah Yeah Yeahs - “Maps”
Except for Tom Sawyer, Mississippi Queen, and Paranoid, all of these are going to be original master tracks. In the Guitar Hero series, most songs are covers (i.e., songs redone by a cover band).
Here's the first trailer, with some in-game footage:
