Today at the E3 video game convention, Harmonix, the makers of Rock Band 2, revealed the game’s much-anticipated track list. As we reported earlier today, the track list is headlined by the Guns n’ Roses song “Shackler’s Revenge,” but even without the debut of a new Gn’R song, the list of playable tunes is still jaw-dropping. In all, fans of the game will have 75 songs to jam to, spanning the ’60s to today. All walks of rock are represented: there’s Beck, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Sonic Youth, Talking Heads and Linkin Park. For the classic rockers, the Allman Brothers, Bob Dylan, Grateful Dead and the Who are all represented. And for the ladies to sing along with, there’s songs by Joan Jett, Blondie, Paramore, and Alanis Morissette. Harmonix obviously feels that in order to set itself apart from the upcoming Guitar Hero: World Tour, it needs to win the battle of the track lists, and they don’t disappoint. As an added bonus, Harmonix and MTV Games — who initially wanted to put 100 songs in the game — will release an additional 20 master recordings for the game for free. Plus, all those songs that came with or you purchased for the original Rock Band can be uploaded to 2. It won’t really tip the scales, but there’s also nine bonus tracks by bands that include Harmonix employees. To check out the entire list of 75 songs, click after the jump. Your move, Guitar Hero.
