Rock Band Track List

'Rock Band' includes classic and modern rock tracks. Rock Band features 58 tracks including songs from rock artists such as The Rolling Stones, Metallica, The Police, The Clash, Foo Fighters, and Radiohead. The diverse soundtrack features the most master recordings of any music game by an incredible list of rock bands. Rock Band Track Packs are a series of supplemental media discs for the Rock Band series of music video games. The packs are developed by Harmonix. Rock Band Metal Track Pack, like all Rock Band software, is compatible with all Rock Band instrument controllers, as well as most Guitar Hero® and other third party music video game peripherals and microphones.

Released on the heels of the stilted, static Cahoots, the double-album Rock of Ages occupies a curious yet important place in Band history. Recorded at a spectacular New Years Eve 1971 gig, the show and album were intended to be a farewell of sorts before the Band took an extended break in 1972, but it turned out to be a last hurrah in many different ways, closing the chapter on the first stage of their career, when they were among the biggest and most important rock & roll bands. That sense of importance had started to creep into their music, turning their studio albums after The Band into self-conscious affairs, and even the wildly acclaimed first two albums seemed to float out of time, existing in a sphere of their own and never having the kick of a rock & roll band. Rock of Ages has that kick in spades, and it captures that road warrior side of the band that was yet unheard on record. Since this band -- or more accurately its leader, Robbie Robertson -- was acutely aware of image and myth, this record didn't merely capture an everyday gig, it captured a spectacular, in retrospect almost a dry run for the legendary Last Waltz. New Orleans R&B legend Allen Toussaint was hired to write horn charts and conduct them, helping to open up the familiar tunes, which in turn helped turn this music into a warm, loose, big-hearted party. And that's what's so splendid about Rock of Ages: sure, the tightness of the Band as a performing unit is on display, but there's also a wild, rowdy heart pumping away in the backbeat of this music, something that the otherwise superb studio albums do not have. Simply put, this is a joy to hear, which may have been especially true after the dour, messy Cahoots, but even stripped of that context Rock of Ages has a spirit quite unlike any other Band album. Indeed, it could be argued that it captured the spirit of the Band at the time in a way none of their other albums do.

Less than a month to go before Rock Band returns.

Harmonix on Monday announced 13 more songs for Rock Band 4, completing the game's soundtrack.

The new tracks are listed below, and are very varied. Classic rock fans may enjoy Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'That Smell,' while there is also the Brad Paisley country song 'Start a Band' and the '90s cut 'Follow You Down' by Gin Blossoms. Poppier songs like 'Tongue Tied' and 'I Bet My Life' are also featured.

Rock Band 4 launches on October 6 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. You can see the game's full soundtrack below. For comparison, you can check out Guitar Hero Live's soundtrack here.

Harmonix notes on its website that Rock Band 4, while it's soundtrack is not as extensive as Guitar Hero Live's, actually 'has the most music available of any music game.' That's because the game will be compatible with more than 1,500 songs from the game's extensive DLC catalog.
