List Of Songs In Rock Band 2

Rock Band 2 is a 2008 music video game developed by Harmonix Music Systems and distributed by MTV Games and Electronic Arts. The game, a sequel to Rock Band, has been released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and PlayStation 2. Rock Band allows one to four players to simulate the playing of rock music by providing the players with peripherals modeled after musical instruments (a guitar peripheral for lead guitar and bass gameplay, a drum peripheral, and a microphone). The gameplay in Rock Band 2 is nearly identical to the original Rock Band, while also comparable to that in Guitar Hero.

The game disc features 84 songs, all of which are master recordings. In addition, the game supports existing downloadable content from Rock Band, as well as tracks which have been exported from other Rock Band game discs. Twenty additional tracks were released exclusively for Rock Band 2 as free downloadable content after the game was released. A redeemable code that allows the player access to these songs is included with new copies of the game, except for the Wii version, where no code is required.

With Rock Band 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii players can export 70 of 84 songs by purchasing a Export Key for $9.99/800 Microsoft Points/1000 Nintendo Points. The 9 songs from Harmonix-based bands are not offered in the initial export package; however, these songs are offered in the "Rock Band Free 01" pack for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, released on January 4, 2011. The export for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions requires the code located on the back of the Rock Band 2 instruction manual; this is the same code used for the redemption of the aforementioned bonus content. The process for export differs slightly on both platforms: Xbox 360 users only need to redeem the manual code directly within Rock Band 3 while PlayStation 3 users must redeem the manual code on the Rock Band website and then use the code given from the website within Rock Band 3. EA support will accommodate users who may have lost or discarded their previous code. Wii owners only need to have a Rock Band 2 save file present and pay the export fee to perform the export function; however, tracks are downloaded individually.

2 of the songs which are previously not exportable, "Give It Away" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and "Spoonman" by Soundgarden, are included as part of the Rock Band Blitz soundtrack. Music that is included with Blitz is also compatible with Rock Band 3.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, songs, rock and/or band:

    A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Lovers, forget your love,
    And list to the love of these,
    She a window flower,
    And he a winter breeze.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
    Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
    With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
    On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
    And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    In Little Rock the people bear
    Babes, and comb and part their hair
    And watch the want ads, put repair
    To roof and latch.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Firm, united, let us be,
    Rallying round our Liberty;
    As a band of brothers joined,
    Peace and safety we shall find.
    Joseph Hopkinson (1770–1842)
